The Weather Guard 210-3 Safari rack turns the whole roof of a full-size gutter van into a work platform. It is a full-length rack, roughly 150" long, that carries ladders and long material across the entire roof rather than on just a couple of crossbars, and its front and rear cross members extend out over the ends of the van so you can slide long ladders and material on without gouging the body. Extra-wide stainless steel mounting brackets clamp to the van's rain gutters for a strong hold, and a Weather Guard airfoil mounts to the front cross member to cut wind noise and add rack security. It fits full-size gutter vans, the Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, and Ford E-Series, and the Brite White ARMOR-TUF finish keeps the steel protected through weather and road salt. Velcro straps and anti-wear protection secure and guard the load.

- Front and rear cross members that extend over the ends of the van
- Extra-wide stainless steel gutter mounting brackets

Features
Full-Length Work Platform
At roughly 150" long the Safari rack spans the entire roof, so you carry ladders, pipe, conduit, and long lumber across the full length of the van instead of balancing them on two crossbars.
Cross Members Extend Over The Ends
The front and rear cross members reach out past the ends of the van, giving you a landing point to slide long material and ladders on and off without dragging them across the roof or hitting the body.
Extra-Wide Gutter Brackets
Extra-wide stainless steel mounting brackets clamp to the van's rain gutters for superior holding strength, so a big full-length rack stays planted even under a heavy, long load.
Airfoil For Quiet Miles
A Weather Guard airfoil mounts to the front cross member to cut wind noise and reduce drag, and it adds to the security of the rack at highway speed on a van that runs all day.
Weatherproof Steel Build
The Brite White ARMOR-TUF powder coat protects the steel against rust and fading through rain and road salt, while anti-wear protection and included Velcro straps guard and secure your load in transit.

Fit guidance: This full-length Safari rack clamps to the rain gutters on full-size vans, the Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, and Ford E-Series. It is a large, heavy rack, so plan for a two-person install and confirm your van roof load rating and cross-member spacing before loading long or heavy material. Newer vans without rain gutters should use the aluminum channel-kit Safari racks (ASRS001 or ASRL001) instead.
