UPGRADE BAR SYSTEM
To Be Used With Jeep Cherokee OE Style Roof Racks
WARNING: External roof racks do not increase the GVWR of the vehicle. Maximum load for this bar system is
180 lbs. evenly distributed on crossbar assemblies. Keep in mind that torque applied to any straps, cords, etc.
between the load and the vehicle body effectively add "load weight" to crossbars and the roof. Large or flat items
such as plywood or watercraft can trap air and create wind lift. Secure the ends of such objects directly to the vehicle
bumpers or tie downs. Bulky or tall loads can create tremendous horizontal wind resistance from headwinds and
crosswinds. Extreme caution should be used when transporting such loads, taking into consideration road conditions,
vehicle speed, crosswinds, load securing methods, etc. Large, bulky, tall or flat objects should be properly secured
to both crossbars and other attachment points on the vehicle body. Check bar adjustment points and load securement
frequently. PERRYCRAFT, Inc. does not assume responsibility for improper installation, exceeding load limit, load
securement methods, vehicle roof strength, wind lift or any other factors beyond its control. All fasteners, knobs,
and load securements should be checked frequently and tightened as necessary.

screws, 1/4" flat washers and nylock nuts as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Slide one "plugged' stanchion on to one end of each crossbar, butting
end of bars firmly against stanchion plugs. Slide remaining two "open"
stanchions on to opposite ends of bars positioning both stanchions
relative to width of existing tracks.
3. Assemble Track Brackets to Stanchion Brackets by inserting ¼"-20 x ½"
Button Head screw through hole in Stanchion Bracket into tapped hole
in Track Bracket approximately 1-2 turns (see Fig. 2). Position
stanchion/crossbar assemblies on tracks, aligning vertical leg of
