Technical Details & Installation

The Slimline II Roof Rack attaches securely using 6 Gutter Mount Legs that clamp to the Defender’s rain gutters. The rack height is calculated by adding the 50mm (2″) tray height to the leg height. The rack’s T-slot edges accommodate standard 8mm bolts, enabling easy mounting of popular accessories like racks, tie-down points, and holders.

Installation is straightforward and requires no drilling, preserving your vehicle’s integrity. Comprehensive installation instructions are included, guiding you through leg assembly and tray attachment for a perfect fit.

For full installation manuals and accessory options, make sure to check the Front Runner website or contact your local dealer.
