Can this be mounted on an aftermarket rack with only 2 cross bars and no rails?

The Sport Jr is attached to the roof of your vehicle with the included car clips. The clips attach to your vehicles door molding.

You don't need any bars or rails to use this. It's not mounted but just strapped on with straps running through inside the car along the roof. Hope that helps.

Good day, if the crossbars are not adjustable, it may not fit perfectly out of the box, as the mounting holes are in predetermined locations, but the bar spread you have can be accommodated by the box. Thank you and have a great day!

I am going to say no, it will not work on a two post rack. The rails mount on front and back. Your best option is a cantilever shelf. They are designed for two post mounting.

If the tire is center mounted probably not. The rack fits a 2" hitch though. You would have to put the tire somewhere else.

Yes. Just buy the fork. The base bars did not come with my rack. I had to buy the two separately.

You need the rails to be able to install the cross bars. If you don't have the rails you will need to investigate an aftermarket luggage rack that utilizes tie-down straps that hook in the door frame.

Not any bike rack that we've seen. You would probably have to have one custom built.

No. You have to buy the mounts separately. Make sure you know the diameter of your bars to get the right mounts.

I don't think the company offers a 2 nd bar for this rack but I am sure you could make one and mount it yourself from tubing at most hardware stores.

Quick answer: No. But. You might go to an electric/electronics site like MCM or Parts Express to see if they have hardware to modify components for rack mounting.

Yes, that will work. Putting it in a rack sucks. will not work with any rail kits.

Yes. The rail mounts and cross bars are separate items. This kit (at least when I bought mine a few months ago) came with both, and everything needed to mount to my 2008 Dodge Nitro. I Hope that is helpful!

no, it would not be suitable for a standard rack mount. Plus, it's very weighty.

Yes, this attaches to the cross bars on an existing roof rack, but what I love about this system is that it works just fine on factory racks, no need to buy an aftermarket one. They do make a system that does not require a rack, it is simply foam pads you put directly on the roof with straps and tie downs. Just a thought if you don't have a rack and don't want to buy one.

Sorry - I just noticed this was for the single rail rack. I have the double rack and it's not much more money.

I don't see why not. I have after-market rack bars myself (Yakima, though, not Thule). The parts for the bike rack that latch onto the roof bars are fully adjustable. It seems like a very good rack for the price-I just made a 3,000 mile trip with no problems at all, although just to be safe I used small bungee cables for a little extra security.

I guess I don't understand what you're asking. My vehicle doesn't have side rails either. If you're asking what to strap it to, we strap it to the rack (the horizontal bars it is sitting on).
