Bike rack for factory racks on 2006 Outback Wagon


Customer Question: I need help outfitting a 2006 Outback 4dr Wagon with either a Yakima or Thule rack system for bikes. The wagon comes with crossbars, and I prefer to limit the additions and modifications to the current crossbars (i.e. I want the bike tray to fit directly onto the factory crossbars if at all possible). I prefer a fork mount system if possible.

Racks for All Solution: Here is a solution from Thule that will attach to your factory racks:

Thule V2 Roof Rack Bike Carrier
Qty: x 1

Thule Ride-On Adapter
Qty: x 1

Feel free to double the quantity if you wish. This is a really nice fork mount solution!

Customer Question: I am interested in purchasing the mont blanc powder top rooftop ski rack 6. My vehicle is a 1997 ford explorer with factory roof racks. I tried
to use the rack fit guide however do not see mont blanc as a listed
manufacturer in the guide. Is there any way of finding out if this system
would fit my vehicle?

Mounting brackets are universal and fit all original equipment roof racks with cross rails under 3.25" inches wide.

Please measure your cross rails to see how wide they are to be certain. Sorry we don’t have a fit guide for Mont Blanc!

Bike/ski rack for Jeep Liberty


Customer Question: I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty. I’m interested in a rear mount rack for bikes and skis. I’ve looked at the Thule Spare Me rack, and it seems to fit my needs. However, I’m concerned about access to my trunk area when the rack is in use. The back window on the Liberty swings up and the door swings out. Will I be able to have the window swing up and clear bikes and skis on the rack?

Racks for All Solution:
The 963 Spare Me is a great rack, we sell plenty of them to Liberty owners. The Spare Me is a bike carrier only, however. It is not, to my knowledge, convertible to carry skiis.

We sell a combination bike/ski rack that will work with a hitch:

In any case, you won’t go wrong with the 963 Spare Me:
