The K9 Roof Rack System from Eezi-Awn is a revolutionary advancement in expedition-style racks; it is thinner, lighter, stronger, quieter, more functional, more aerodynamic, more durable, and more aesthetically complimentary to your vehicle than the competition. Made from matte black powder-coated, extruded aluminum with fully-welded joints (not bolts), the low-weight K9 offers an infinite number of gear organization configurations. At only 1-3/8" thick, the platform itself is very low-profile with aerodynamic edging that won't slow you down. With a modular system outside your vehicle to accommodate shovels, axes, jerry cans, and more, you save valuable space inside your vehicle.
Mounting Options
This vehicle is also unique in that it has 2 mounting options. If your vehicle did not come with factory roof rack track, you would choose our standard style rack which includes the Eezi-Awn K9 Mounting Rail to mount to the roof. If your vehicle came with factory track on the top, you can use our OEM Track Mount feet instead of the K9 Mounting Rail. The OEM Track Mount options are limited in length. If you would prefer a longer rack option, you can install the standard version to your vehicle.
Standard
The Standard version of the rack systems are the same as our traditional rack system on other vehicles. They incorporate the K9 Mounting Rail on the top of the roof, with feet attaching to the rail and the platform on top. This rack is available in 1.4M through 2.2M lengths and three widths. The most common width for this model is 1250mm. Wider platforms can be chosen to suit your needs.
OEM Track
The OEM Track version of the rack systems mount feet directly to the OEM track and the platform on top. This rack is available in several lengths and widths. The most common width for this model is 1250mm. Wider platforms can be chosen to suit your needs.

"The K9 Roof Rack System is a welcome alternative to the cage-style racks that once defined the typical overland roof rack. It is sleek, understated, and complimentary to the aesthetics of vehicles new and old. It is most importantly, remarkably robust, an attribute we would naturally expect from the engineers at Eezi-Awn."
