just FYI, you're supposed to mount the racks over the rear doors only so you are only using the main part of the top, not the front freedom panels. I guess thule feels they can come loose under the severe stress from crosswinds.

Just wanted to post an end of season update. Had my Thule gutter mount rack on all winter. Attached to front panels and rear. Drove all winter with no problems. This was my second winter using this rack system. Minimum driving distance with snowboards on the rack was an hour and a half. Maximum was 8 hour drive to Vermont and never had one issue. Just took the rack off and getting ready for the soft top. Bitter sweet.

The good news is that I haven't heard of anyone having any issues using the gutter mount setup.

I'm in SoCal and still boarding int he local mountains...
I just lay down my back seat and I'm good to go.
I ride a 161 and it fits just fine in the back of my Unlimited.
However, this this will present a problem if I take more than 1 Person. I guess I could fit 3 if I only put half the back seat down...
