I got a 2010 Pat base model and I am trying to find the hardware that would enable me to carry 2 sets of ski on the roof. I don't have the cross bars either. Mopar's site has both for total of $307 which is a bit more than I thought I'd spend for this. Any ideas where I can get both for a more reasonable price?

first you will definately need cross bars,
good cross bars either mopar or brands like thule will cost +$100,
then need the ski racks,
thule type will cost +$150,
either can go with other brands of ski racks that mount to any cross bars,
prices will vary,
i would go spend the money on the crossbars,
and keep looking for cheaper racks, can try looking for used on ebay/craigslist,
till then can always bungee cord the skis to crossbars,

here budget cross bars i put on the liberty

That's a great price to pay for a Thule ski-rack. It's way less than I forked out about four years ago, even allowing for the fact that I live in Rip-off Britain. I'd certainly go for the Thule rack.
