Use gutter mounts. Read this thread w/pics. >-> https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/an...-33666/index2/

thanks man, do you know where i can purchase those at, thanks again

 

dude use 1 inch u bolts from Menards or home depot thats what i did. they looped right around my factory rack

 

I used Ubolts from Home Depot and attached straight to factory roof rack...on the cross bar that is....hold up just fine and havent had any problems .

 

six inch masonry screws directly through your roof and attatch a 2x4 on the iside to take up the excess screw followed with lots of bathroom caulk. well at least that was what my buddy told his brother-in-law when he asked him to help put a lightbar on the roof of his ford escape.

 

If you read the whole thread it should say on there.
He doesn't have a factory roof-rack at all though.

good call dan. sorry i didnt read it all the way through =/.

 

I think I'd rather use the gutter mounts myself, (if I didn't have a factory rack to attach to). They can be removed later without leaving any unsightly damage that needs fixing. JMO

No problem. Happens to me sometimes too.
