Hey Tina! Not sure what roof rack setup you were using on your Jeep but I checked with Thule and they do not have one that will work with a Hullavator item # TH898 on a 2024 Bronco.

To mount and use two Hullavator item # TH898 on a 2024 Ford Bronco 4 door hard top with factory raised roof rails you will need the following parts:

TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars item # Y33TR

70" Long - Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black item # Y00427

The 70" bars are the next size up for the 60" Yakima item # Y00426 that are recommended for your Bronco. The Hullavator item # TH898 requires 3"-4" of extra bar space to function without hitting the side of your Bronco.

What kind of roof rack do you currently have? You can add this information and any other questions you have in the box below that says Reply to Jerred H.

@Tina Does your Bronco have roof rails on the side of the hard top?

My Bronco has no rails in the top it does have intentions that look like something would go there

@Tina Everything I have for a 2024 Bronco hardtop attaches to the factory accessory rails. I'm guessing those indentions are where the factory rails install. I recommend reaching out to a Ford dealership or searching online to source a set. Please note that the complete Ford roof rack with crossbars will not work with the Hullavator item # TH898. You need aftermarket ones that extend past the legs for the lift assist function to work properly.
