helping you save storage space in your garage while still toting up to six pairs of skis or four snowboards to the mountain. The 987XT includes rubber arms that grip and hold your skis and boards vertically without scratching the surface of your equipment. Plus, you can keep your skis and snowboards safe while you grab a bite at a local restaurant thanks to the pair of One-Key locking dials. The 987XT is compatible with the following hitch rack models: the 964 Revolver, the 954 Ridgeline, the 912, 914, and 915 Roadways, the 963 Spare Me, and the 956, 957, and 958 Parkways.
I just fitted this to my 998xt rack. It fits fairly well, and feels pretty secure. It’s well made, and comes with all the accessories you’ll need.
The downside is that it’s impossible to get my shaped skis (Rossi Bandit B3s) into the rack the way they suggest (back to back). They do fit, but less securely, as individual skis. This reduces the capacity to 3 pairs of skis, and not 6.
Also the height of the rack, even with my relatively short skis, is insane – the tops of the skis stand a good 2 feet above the roofline of my SUV.
To be honest…. I wish I’d bought a roof rack, and just stuck with the Thule rack for my bike.

This board rack is great, because it’ll hold up to 4 snowboards easily. It is made super sturdy!
The down side is you need to purchase the bike rack also.

I bought this to use with my 2010 Wrangler Jeep. It works really well. It works using a base plate that fits behind your spare wheel, with mounting prong coming through the middle of the wheel. Once you have installed the bike rack and then added the ski rack it really is just one piece you have to turn, in order to un-mount or mount the entire rack. This is so much easier than mounting the rack on a roof rack as I had done previously. It looks great on the vehicle, and holds everything in place safely and securely (using the supplied locks). I would highly recommend it.
