I'm having some trouble finding racks for an 2005 Ford Explorer...most specs say the crossbar's diameters must not exceed 3 1/2 inches. My cross bars are close to 5 inches in diameter.
Any advice on how to work around this (new brackets,new crossbars,etc.?)

What's good man? If you have the factory cross bars on the vehicle and they are too large to accomidate the ski rack or 'ride-on adapter' from Thule, you're going to have to go with the 460 Podium Foot Pack which will fit to your running bars that run the length of the roof. Then you need to purchase the 50-inch load bars and the 3101 Fit Kit. (pretty positive on that fit kit, but just double check on Thule.com).
We have all of this in stock at the shop except the fitkit. It can arrive here in 1-2 business days from Thule if you wanted. I've PM'd you with a quote on the base rack and ski rack included.

Correction. That was for a 1995. Clicked the wrong model year.
This is for the 2005...
You're going to need the easier to use 450-Crossroad and 50-inch load bars. No fit kit needed. Also, all in stock.
