The Yakima Lowrider roof rack system is the multi-purpose base rack you'll need for your 2008 Jeep Patriot. The Yakima Lowider system includes four Lowrider Towers and two cross bars. The Lowrider Towers connect directly to your Jeep Patriot side rails. You can then connect the canoe carriers to the Lowrider front and rear cross bars. Because you want to carry 2 canoes you will need to choose the 78 inch length crossbars to provide enough space for the 2 canoes side by side. You will connect the canoe carriers to these crossbars. You can then connect 2 sets of the Yakima Gunwale Brackets canoe rack directly to the Yakima Lowrider rack front and rear cross bars.
