Yakima Vertical Mighty Mounts - Set of 4
May 9, 2011
Your best bet is to purchase the Universal Mighty Mounts as they will not only work with your jeep Commander, but will also transfer to virtually any other vehicle you move to in the future if it has a factory rack.

Yakima Sky Box Pro 21 Cargo Box
November 17, 2009
Besides price and the name of Pro, you get some other great features with the Pro Model that you do not get with the Regular Sky Box. Though both are great products, the Pro includes a Pad on the inside to keep things quiet and riding smoothly in side the box and also a Cargo Net to keep everything in place. You move, but your gear stays in one place. The other difference is that you get an automotive grade "Paintable ABS" material that you could paint to match your car, but it comes in two great silver or Platinum colors that you may never want to paint it to match your car. The smooth finish also makes it easy to clean off the bugs you destroyed while out enjoying life instead of watching everyone else have the live you only dreamed of having.

Yakima HullRaiser Aero Water Roof Rack w/ Tie Down DO NOT USE
June 25, 2009
Write your answer here...The Hullraiser is a fantastic rack and it depends upon the bar width and capacity of your Factory rack. You will need to check with your factory load capacity to make sure hat you are not overloading the rack and exceeding the rack capcity. You can find this on your Roof rack, or in the owners manual. Though this is a great factory rack, you do need to stay within the load capacity of the Factory Rack.

Yakima Little Joe 3 Bike Rack
June 2, 2009

the best way that I have found to lock your bike to your vehicle using a trunk rack is to purchase a seperate cable lock and use the tow loops that are typically on the bottom of your vehicles bumper. run the cable through the loops on the vehicle and then through the frame and wheels if possible. Typically the persin is trying to steal the bike. If you just want to leave the rack on the vehicle, there is no good solution, but the rack folds down in seconds and can be put into the back seat or in the trunk.
Yakima does offer a new rack called a Quickback that does come with a security cable that i attached to the rack and when you put the other end of it into the trunk or hatchback, secures the rack to the vehicle. This is a brand new rack and is also the most simple rack to put on and take off a vehicle. This may be something for you to look into.
