I have a Blazer and got the Thule attachments that add on to the luggage rack that came on the car. because I didn't need to buy the bar rack itself (just the ski pinchers) the whole set up was $100. they have brackets to add the ski pinchers to almost any car. The adapters are different for a Blazer or Explorer or whatever but the dealer stocked every type you could think of.
Anyway , we put all the rods assembled in the rack for traveling and take them off and lock iside the truck without disassembling when we stop to eat or go inside stores etc. The Blazer will fit a 10.5 foot rod inside if you put it kitty corner. Tough to drive around that way but easy to put in and out the back window. the rack is now about 5 or 6 years old and still looks and works like new. It also has key locks.
