Material & Build Details

The rack tray and legs use a combination of black epoxy powder-coated T6 aluminium and 3CR12 stainless steel hardware to deliver strength and corrosion resistance. The tray features universal T-slots on the edges allowing flexible mounting options using industry-standard 8mm bolts.

The installed rack height is calculated by adding the 50mm (2″) height of the Slimline II Tray to the height of the gutter mount legs (ranging from 120mm to 130mm) ensuring a balanced profile that won’t excessively raise your centre of gravity.

Installation Overview

Designed for a straightforward bolt-on fit, this rack kit requires no vehicle drilling. The six gutter mount legs clamp firmly to your Range Rover’s rain gutters, holding the Slimline II Tray securely. A wind deflector included in the kit minimises drag and noise for a quieter journey.

Comprehensive installation instructions accompany the kit. It’s advised to review the latest documentation from Front Runner or the merchant website prior to fitting to ensure hassle-free assembly.
