These cross bars will fit right?

[NewTrac17]

Been awhile since I have posted here. I need to post some pics of my new wheels, tires, and other upgrades....anyway I am looking to purchase some cross bars for my Sport Trac without spending a whole lot.

I found this set and I think that Midnightrebel has the closest ebay special similar to the one I am looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/48-120CM-AL...Parts_Accessories&hash=item461d38dc29&vxp=mtr

Don't think it will fit. Go to view full description and compatibility

Going by what the measurement restrictions in the description say they won't fit our roof rails. I'll look and see if I can find the set on eBay that I have, they've been on there everytime I check for people.

I have used bars that had a similar clamp style, but 48" is too short for a sport trac. Upy will need 52" plus depending on clamp style. I run 54" Thule aerobars on mine.

Thanks for the input guys! Thought that they would fit based off this forum: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=354804, but I won't order the cross bars I first posted. Let me know what you found Midnight. Thanks all!

These are the same crossbars as what I bought. I ended up putting self tappers into the mounting brackets to totally lock the crossbars into place. When I had my Yakima MegaWarrior mounted on it with the spare, lights, shovel and other gear it was too heavy and started sliding out a little.

Thanks for the link, but I am little confused. The dimensions are 1 1/4 in.(H) x 1 3/4 in.(W) x 48 in. (L). I thought that 48 in was too short. :scratch:

Update: Measured the roof rack and it is almost 47 in across. Also realized that the ebay page says it is for a sport trac. Looks like it will fit!
