This is the 61\" x 51\" version, built from extruded aluminum beams with internal bracing running the length of every perimeter and cross beam, so it carries load without a supporting subframe and without flexing. A dovetail extrusion runs around the full perimeter and along both edges of each internal beam, which is what separates it from a channel rack: accessories clamp in anywhere along the rail and come off again without sliding anything else out of the way. Removable corner caps let you run wiring inside the rack instead of cable tying it to the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the rack platform on its own. It does not include the vehicle mounting kit, and without that kit there is no way to attach it to a roof. ARB sells the mount kit separately for each vehicle, and ARB also offers complete BASE Rack kits that bundle a platform, its mount and a deflector for one named vehicle. Order the matching mount kit for your truck at the same time, or you will receive a rack you cannot install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASE Rack 61\" x 51\" platform, fully welded and assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner caps fitted (removable for internal cable routing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasteners for joining the platform to an ARB BASE Rack mount kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARB fitting instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MD7Tu5-Re8Y\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDovetail Mounting, Not A Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dovetail extrusion runs the full perimeter and both edges of every internal beam.

He began hand building roof racks and bull bars in his Melbourne driveway, and the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown ended up on what is now the largest 4x4 accessory manufacturer and distributor in the southern hemisphere. The engineering campus at Kilsyth in Victoria still designs and tests the load carrying, air and recovery equipment the brand is known for, and ARB now runs offices in the USA, Europe and the Middle East with an export network reaching more than 100 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America ARB trades as Air Locker Inc. from Auburn, Washington, and backs its products with a published US and Canada warranty program. Prestige Truck is an authorized ARB dealer.
