Wou;ld you recommend this rack for a Jeep Commander?Longer than most racks? Appearance on vehicle as a daily driver - would it look good?

I'm not sure on the commander. I don't think it is much different size than my GX, so I think it would work well. I think it looked great on my GX and would have left it on permanently as a daily driver if it would have fit in my garage with it on. Because of clearance I took it off after each camping trip, but even the. It is pretty easy to take off and on. Hope that helps.

I have a 2001 Cherokee with a 3" lift and have been very pleased with the Safari rack. It was easy to assemble and install.

Yes it would look good on the Commander, check when you order should have certain sizes for different vehicles.

I put my on a ford excursion and it looks great. Measure first. This is a big rack and the first one I got was too small. Also make sure that back hatch opens if there is one.

I have this on my Cherokee. It holds my spare tire and that's all I wanted it for. Can fit few more things in it. I have the size larger on my H3 and that looks nice and fits all my equipment for when I go camping. Depending on what your going to be loading, look into both sizes and pick the best option for you. Both racks are sturdy and i use ratchet straps to hold down the items. There are several different accessories through Amazon that bolt right on that are helpful

Probably pushing the limit. This is the most sturdy rack I've seen for the 4 dr. jeeps but I'd contact the company just to make sure. Maybe 300 lb. limit Charlie W.

I have it on a full size GMC truck. It's height is not adjustable. I wish it were. There are several on the market that are adjustable. If you can afford the price difference, I would suggest that option. The rack is however excellent, no issues at all for me,

I installed it on a 1998 Cherokee no problem. I can fit my full length shotguns and scoped rifles in it with ease. Nice unit. You also cannot see the rack unless you get up on the window and stoop down. Very stout, made in USA product.

It's a bit stiffer than stock but not bad. I added RC .75" spacers to the front to help level it out. It sits very level now. You need to check out all of your front end components and bushings because this kit (any lift) will induce 'death wobble" if anything is worn. A steering stabilizer will only band-aid any real issues you have going on. I highly recommend doing control arms and an alignment and play with your tire pressure until you get it right. It takes a lot of money and effort to lift one of these jeeps right so don't think this is a cheap fix as I did. It does clear new jk 255 17's with very minimal rub, though and the wheels bolt right up. It's a bit stiffer than stock but not bad. I added RC .75" spacers to the front to help level it out.

Good day, while the rack could be mounted on the front of a vehicle, we do recommend only using it in it's intended capacity, which is installed on the rear of the vehicle. Thanks!

I have a stock TJ and it works fine. With that bike you should be ok since it's pretty light (I have the same one!). You'll just have to push it up a steeper slope since your Jeep is so high. This carrier doesn't have the best tie down options though.

There is a compatibility chart on the saris website for makes and models. This rack is for cars with a trunk. They should have one for SUVs. Great product.

I agree it is not as wide as my honda Pilot and its a little wider than my sons jeep grand cherokee and he has had no issues and is a newer driver and we ride up some narrow winding 2 lane PA rodes. note just make sure you put it together to optimize which side you want to load left or right hand ,depending on personal preference. Bike stays on soid as long as you strap down well.

Dear Mary, I have had my trike for a couple of years and love it!!!!! I looked for a trike rack for the back of my motor home and found one back east. In looking today, I see (Hitch Rider.com) has the one your looking for. I took my trik on a month long trip to Oregon last and rode it often. Best wishes, Carole

Hi Max, the best place for all the details needed to fit our roof rack systems on the roof of your Jeep is to click on the "buyer's guide" on our website www.thule.com. Thanks!

We have the 4 door Wrangler and found the ranex too small. We just got back from a week long trip and found the Keeper 07203-1 rooftop carrier very roomy and water proof, too. We do have an after market roof rack. Hop-e this helps.

The cover and bridge from Kurgo fit our Jeep Commander. There shouldn't be a problem fitting. Under the seat cover is an elastic cord which helps cinch the cover snuggly.

Should work fine. The clamps on the box are not specific to a particular style of crossbar. You will want to spread the crossbars (front and rear) as far apart as possible to provide greater stability. The biggest trick to putting the box on is getting a foothold. Our Jeep has siderails that make mounting the box easier......this box looks very slender but it carries so much cargo it's unbelievable.

Oh Steve! I have absolutely no experience with wheel chairs and I would not want to steer you wrong on that. I'll tell you what, I will say this much. This rack is very adjustable and stable when installed correctly and I am pretty sure it's plenty strong. As for it's basic configuration, though, I'm afraid I can't speak to that. I was impressed by the lack of movement of this rack when I installed it on my 2007 Prius. I hope that helps a little. Good luck, Steve!

I mounted mine on a 2012 Commander. Was not the best fit. I had to make some minor adjustments in order for it to work. Not sure about the harness bar.

it would be problematic as the brackets on the rail(s) are fairly bulky and large. Some customization and modification(s) to the cover would be required for sure. good luck - the rack system rocks for my usage btw.
