Product Details
This is more than your ordinary roof rack. Our range of roof racks may share a consistent blend of striking good looks and incredible functionality, but here's the twist: each one is meticulously tailored for your vehicle's chassis, ensuring a seamless and precise fit. Unique geometry, patterns, and profiles are used to integrate flawlessly with factory mounting points and fit snugly within the space constraints of your vehicle's body. This guarantees that every roof rack aligns perfectly with the front and rear, with no overhang and zero interference with doors, hatches, or any aspect of your daily vehicle use.
Crafted from durable 5052 Aluminum sheet metal, this roof rack system exemplifies durability and reliability at its core. Featuring 6 gauge side panels and fairings, along with 1/4” roof mounting brackets, it offers a perfect blend of strength and lightweight construction. The complete roof rack, including 5 crossbars, weighs in at just under 50 lbs, ensuring ease of handling and installation without compromising strength. This kit includes aluminum crossbars available in both round and square shapes, featuring t-slot channels designed to accommodate a wide range of roof rack accessories.
Despite its lightweight nature, this roof rack is engineered to withstand substantial static loads, supporting well over 500 lbs with confidence. Our team has engineered a versatile solution suitable for various applications, whether it's transporting gear for outdoor adventures or carrying professional equipment. For optimal performance and safety, users are advised to consult the manufacturer's guidelines for maximum dynamic roof loading, ensuring your vehicle is up to the task that we know our line of roof racks can handle.
Our roof rack kit comes fully loaded featuring a total of 5 80/20 crossbars and 2 round bars. Enhancing the overall structural stability, the front and rear square bars (80/20) are specifically utilized for mounting the front and rear fairings. This arrangement leaves you with 3 full-width square bars equipped with t-slots, alongside 2 round bars, providing flexibility in setup and accommodating a variety of roof rack accessories. This configuration ensures optimized utility and adaptability for your specific needs.
Our design engineer's incredible attention to detail left no aspect overlooked. A standout feature is the floating design, eliminating the necessity for a bulb seal on the front fairing, protecting your vehicle's paint from gradual wear and tear. Additionally, the sloped front fairing is designed to seamlessly align with your vehicle's roofline, effectively minimizing wind noise and eliminating any unwanted whistling noises often associated with alternative roof baskets and racks.
