ARB BASE Rack gutter mount leg kits are based on ARB's traditional roof rack fit kits but now finished in Integrit textured black and with support plates to suit the BASE Rack extrusion. Steel gutter runners with plastic sleeves are included to spread the load within the vehicles roof gutter. The most popular leg kits to suit the majority of low roof vehicles eg GQ Patrol, GU Patrol, 80
Series and 79 Series Dual Cab have been developed. Taller legs for vehicles such as 70 Series Troopcarriers are currently under development.
Fitment of the BASE Rack system to the vehicles using a traditional gutter mount is done in a series of simple steps.
1. Measurements taken of vehicle roof to determine leg spacing. The length of rack and number of legs will determine leg position - no more than 1 beam overhang at each end and no more than 2 beams between supports2. M8 stud plates inserted into BASE Rack beam extrusion and attached to leg kit
3. BASE Rack blade brackets are attached to underside of BASE Rack assembly with BASE Rack stud plates, M8 studs, washers and nyloc nuts. Optional deflector fitted at this stage.
4. BASE Rack with gutter mount brackets and runners fitted to vehicle roof and fastened with M8 bolts and washers.

- Various vehicle applications. Refer Product Information Bulletin No.1299 ARB BASE Rack Fitment Matrix for full vehicle listings
- It is recommended that either the optional wind deflector manufactured from powder-coated press formed 1.6mm aluminium or ARB Roof Rack LED light bar is fitted below the front beam to reduce wind noise
- ARB Roof Rack LED light bar PN 1780500 either in conjunction with the deflector or light bar can be mounted in place of the deflector below the front beam
- Maximum load per BASE Rack beam is 25kg. Net Payload of the rack is dependent on vehicle specifications. Loads must be evenly distributed and adequately secured
- Required tools for fitment: 10mm spanner x 1, 13mm spanner x 1, hex key (supplied in kit), tape measure
Net Payload
The net payload for your BASE RACK is calculated by subtracting the weight of the BASE RACK and the vehicle mounting kit from the vehicle's roof capacity. The table below gives the BASE RACK net payload for the various fitting kits subject to the maximum vehicle roof capacity. The vehicle's roof load capacity may vary between models and driving conditions. Refer to vehicle owner's manual for model and condition specific roof load capacities.
- 4 Leg Kit: Vehicle Max or 100 kg (whichever is the less)
