crossroad Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have a brand new set of factory crossbars off of an 08 grand cherokee. After looking at them and seeing how the end caps come off and are designed to adjust with the tapered roof line I decided to cut mine down to the crossroad length. I put mine up there and marked them, BUT I was wondering if someone could measure theirs for me before I cut them. Ideally if they were off the vehicle it would be great if you could pull the end caps off and measure just the bar.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do you want the measurements to include the plastic end caps that wrap around the outsides of the roof rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossroad Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 If you don't mind I would like the measurement of just the metal bars. Front and back. The plastic end cap pulls off with a little tug. The reason I got this idea in the first place is when I realized the end caps just slide on and off. The roof line tapers so much I beleive they are designed to "float" Inside of the end caps so you can move the crossbars along the rails. I measured mine currently and it looks like roughly an 1" I need to take off total. BUT I wanted to check with someone that has some so I can make sure I have the right adjustability.
