There is an art to preparing for a vehicle based adventure. What and how much you bring is dependent on many variables: time, distance, terrain, and accessibility to supplies. You do not want to be lacking in what is necessary for comfort, enjoyment and safety just because you didn’t have enough room in your vehicle.
The Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack is designed for capacity and flexibility with accessories. All your cargo can be moved, adjusted, and added to, simply by loosening a few nuts. Fuel can holders, tent systems, bike mounts, luggage bags, etc., are bolted down rattle free and secure, yet at the same time easily adjustable and removable.
The Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack is constructed of unique "t" slot extrusion floor panels that offer the ability to fasten and unfasten your equipment easily from both the top AND the bottom of the rack. This gives you endless storage possibilities.
In addition, mounting gear on the rack is not limited to the top and bottom of the flat slats. The outer lip of the rack is specifically designed to be drilled in to for additional options in mounting shovels, the Hi-Lift Jack, axe’s, lights, and whatever else you want to take with you that you can throw a bolt through.
A creative and flexible mounting solution is to install 8mm Rivnuts into the side of the rack. This will allow you to easily bolt on accessories at predetermined mounting points. Because the Rivnut is a fixed nut, you will only need one wrench to remove your mounting point/clamp/brace/tool/Front Runner Accessory or whatever else you choose to bolt on to the side of the rack.
We’ve seen the rack used on contractor’s vehicles with various tools and supplies mounted on the side of the rack, with the flat deck of the rack used to transport lumber, plywood and materials too big to fit inside the vehicle.
The sky is the limit to what you can hang, clamp, or bolt to the top, bottom and sides of the Front Runner Slimline Roof Rack. There’s peace of mind knowing you have a strong, light weight, and durable option OUTSIDE of your vehicle for storing additional supplies and gear.
Now go see what accessories we have to offer!
THE FINE PRINT: Please be safe with what you actually decide to bolt to the rack!
With any vehicle carrying additional loads, it is safer to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, and this means keeping the heaviest items low and central.
And always remember- by adding a rack and accessories to your vehicle, you've raised the height of your vehicle - so use caution when entering parking structures and driving under other low hanging obstacles.
For the safety of the rack system and your vehicle, please obey all traffic laws and adjust speed accordingly to the load being carried and the conditions of the road. Cargo will affect the vehicles handling.
You'll get many years of enjoyment out of your Front Runner Roof Rack and accessories if you use common load carrying sense.
