Introducing the next phase in roof rack evolution, the ARB BASE Rack. Ultra-sleek, boasting a low mounting profile and lightweight design, the ARB BASE Rack incorporates a unique dovetail accessory mounting system that makes attaching and removing accessories easier, faster and more secure. When developing ARB’s BASE Rack one of the requirements of our engineering team was to have a complete roof rack system - racks, mounts, guard rails and equally important, a wide range of BASE Rack accessories. The dovetail attachment point of the BASE Rack provides a number of advantages to traditional accessory fitment on racks including:

• Accessories can be fitted anywhere on the dovetail feature either on the perimeter of the rack or on the front or rear of each cross beam. No need to slide along a t-slot with defined entry and exit points.
• Easy clean dovetail surface does not accumulate dirt and debris.
• Minimal tools required for fitment of BASE Rack accessories which greatly adds to the modular nature of the rack. Accessories can be quickly and easily removed when not required if there are height restrictions. For example, for low garage entry or an underground car park, and then refitted on the weekend for camping trips.
• Integrated channel within the BASE Rack structure for wiring of auxiliary lighting, solar panels or antennas.

Fitment of the BASE Rack system to the vehicles using a traditional gutter mount is done in a series of simple steps.
1. Measurements taken of vehicle roof to determine leg spacing. The length of rack and number of legs will determine leg position - no more than 1 beam overhang at each end and no more than 2 beams between supports.

2. M8 stud plates inserted into BASE Rack beam extrusion and attached to leg kit.

3. BASE Rack blade brackets are attached to underside of BASE Rack assembly with BASE Rack stud plates, M8 studs, washers and nyloc nuts. Optional deflector fitted at this stage.

4. BASE Rack with gutter mount brackets and runners fitted to vehicle roof and fastened with M8 bolts and washers.
