For reference, on the 07 Liberty rails, there are four tiny holes, two to a side at the point you want to have your cross bars. The MaxxHaul rack is just a branded version of the same rack from 15 different vendors (as is the norm with China-made stuff these days).

Installs on most factories and aftermarket crossbars and includes rubber gasket to prevent internal rusting.To make a long story short (you can get the long details of the application in my Great Basin trip thread), both of these cheapo roof solutions performed brilliantly and ended up actually hauling around 200lbs of gear for over 3000 miles on and off road.

The rubber liners for the crossbar clamps do not fit well and required a dab of RTV to get the to stay put prior to clamping. Sure, if one isn't careful it is easy to "get what you pay for", but I have been very happy with both of these low-budget products.
