Installation & Compatibility Notes
This kit mounts directly onto your ute’s load bed by bolting the Load Bed Legs to supplied Pickup Load Bed Tracks, creating a secure, sturdy base for the Load Bars. This setup allows gear to be transported safely above your load bay while preserving full load bay carrying ability and drop-down door function.
The Load Bars feature sliding nut T-slots on the top and bottom surfaces, designed to fit standard 8mm bolts. This allows for flexible and quick accessory mounting, such as Front Runner rooftop tents, racks or other gear, without additional modifications.
To estimate the height added by the kit, add the Load Bar thickness (22mm) to the height of the Legs (188mm) or feet used. Refer to the manufacturer’s detailed installation guides for exact measurements and fitment advice.
While ideal for smaller or minimalist setups, the Load Bars and Legs can form components in future upgrades to a full Front Runner Roof Rack system.
For a complete range of compatible Front Runner accessories, please review the Front Runner accessories catalogue.
Always verify your vehicle’s specific compatibility and detailed installation requirements on the merchant page before purchasing.

Its corrosion-resistant materials combined with a practical low-profile design make it a great choice for adventurers and campers wanting to carry gear, rooftop tents or accessories over their ute’s load bay.
Thanks to the T-slot versatile mounting system and the ability to later upgrade into a full roof rack, it’s a flexible investment built with trusted Front Runner quality that adapts to your camping and load carrying needs.
