Arksen Roof Rack
I was looking to relocate the spare tire and gain a little extra cargo space, plus I have always thought those wire basket type roof racks looked cool so I found this inexpensive Arksen rack (sticker on the front says Bison).
It was $135 delivered from some reseller on Amazon (not Prime but got here fast nonetheless). Obviously it is not a heavy duty piece of gear but it looks like it will get the job done.
In the below pics the spare tire is just sitting up there; I still need to rig up some hardware. I thought the rack size was good for the Cherokee, and even with the spare up there, there is still room for a decent size travel bag. The hardware to attach it to the stock roof rails worked well also.
