It would be pretty easy to coil the same cable lock I use to lock bikes around and around a crossbar, then through the clamp arm.

The security issue would concern me, but if your not leaving it mounted there all the time I guess it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, just pay attention. The Cherokee seems to have just about the same integrity of factory rack the Outback has- not much really, and no way to mount a tray to them until now it seems. Adding up all the different parts just to get a bike rack up on the roof became extremely expensive! I too wanted to use that space for other things. Eventually I stepped back and re-thought my entire approach and ended up with a bolted on tow hitch mounted bike rack a fairly inexpensive safari style cargo rack/basket from Summit Racing & 4x4 in Reno- so far, so good. :) Nice, I sure could have used this a few years ago when I outfitted my jeep.
