Recovery gear is only useful if you can get to it quickly and it has not been rattling loose for 200 miles. This kit mounts the two bulky items, a farm jack and a pair of recovery boards, and adds four general purpose anchor points. The standard jack holder mounts the jack with forged eye nuts and includes a rubber handle keeper; the recovery track bracket plus quick release pins hold two TRED GT, HD or Pro boards flat with the option of a padlock.
The kit mounts to an ARB BASE Rack, not directly to a vehicle. It clamps into the dovetail extrusion that runs around the BASE Rack perimeter and along each internal beam, so a BASE Rack platform has to already be on the vehicle before this part has anything to attach to. It is not a standalone roof mount and it will not fit a plain factory crossbar or a channel style rack. Every item in this kit is a dovetail mounted BASE Rack accessory, so the kit is a bundle of rack accessories rather than a rack in its own right. The pins have a securing height range of 0.8"-1.34", so they will work with other brands of board within that stacking height.

Features
Mounts A Jack And Two Boards The two things that will not fit inside a loaded vehicle, handled in one kit, plus four anchors for everything else.
Holds Two TRED GT, HD Or Pro Boards The bracket and quick release pin pair mount two boards flat to the rack. Padlockable, which matters for gear that sits in plain sight.
Pins Work With Other Boards ARB publishes the securing height range as 0.8"-1.34". Any board that stacks within that will work with the locking feature intact.
Jack Holder With Handle Keeper The standard holder mounts the jack to the bracket with forged eye nuts and includes a rubber handle keeper, which is the part that stops the handle rattling.
Foot Up Or Foot Down The jack holder attaches to the dovetail in either orientation, so the jack can be positioned around whatever else is loaded.
Four 440 lb Tie Down Points Four eye bolt tie downs at 440 lb each, which fit anywhere on the dovetail and cover the rest of the load.

About ARB
ARB started in 1975 when Tony Brown came home from a Cape York trip convinced that the four wheel drives crossing Australia deserved better equipment than anything then on sale. 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.
In 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. Every rack, rail and bracket we ship is genuine US market stock covered by ARB North America's warranty and supported by ARB's own fitting instructions.
The Dovetail Mounting System
ARB's own short walkthrough of the dovetail extrusion that makes the BASE Rack what it is: a clamp that drops in anywhere along the rail instead of a channel you have to thread accessories onto from one end.
It is the clearest thirty seconds available on why accessories come on and off this rack without disturbing the rest of the load.
The ARB Story
How a Melbourne driveway operation building roof racks and bull bars in 1975 grew into the southern hemisphere's largest 4x4 accessory manufacturer.
Filmed by ARB across its own Australian factories and proving grounds, it is worth seven minutes if you want to know who builds the gear before you bolt it to your roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
What is in the kit?
A standard farm jack holder with rubber handle keeper, a recovery board mounting bracket, quick release pins for two boards, TRED quick release mounting pins, and four eye bolt tie down points.
Are the jack and boards included?
No. This is all mounting hardware. The farm jack, the recovery boards and the BASE Rack are separate purchases.
Which recovery boards will it hold?
ARB specifies two TRED GT, HD or Pro boards mounted flat. Other brands work if their stacking height falls in the 0.8"-1.34" range the quick release pin secures over.
Can I lock the boards to the rack?
Yes, ARB states the bracket and pin combination allows a padlock to be fitted for added security.
Will it fit my BASE Rack?
Yes, any size. Everything in it clamps into the dovetail extrusion that runs the full perimeter and along each internal beam of every BASE Rack. It does not fit an ARB Classic rack or a factory crossbar.
What is the warranty?
Three years unlimited mileage through ARB North America, honored through authorized dealers like us. Keep your invoice and register with ARB after purchase.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
