Make more room inside your Wrangler

Free up space inside your Wrangler for the things you want close at hand. This 1545 x 1285 mm ARB BASE Rack kit provides a flat roof platform for bulky equipment, with an accessory mounting system that makes it easier to arrange the load around the way you travel or work. It is the Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited hardtop application.

SKU: XRRJ1770020JLK

Keep more space inside your Wrangler

Move suitable bulky bags and equipment onto the roof and leave more room inside for the things you want close to hand. The flat platform lets you arrange a load around what you are taking, whether that is camping equipment for a weekend away or awkward items for the working day. Secure the load with the correct restraints and leave enough room for any other roof equipment.

Put accessories where you need them

Dovetail profiles run around the perimeter and across the beams. BASE Rack accessories can attach at the position you need, without sliding each fitting in from the end of a conventional channel. That makes it easier to move things around when you change what you carry. T-slot accessories need the correct adapter to connect to the dovetail.

A welded aluminium platform

The fully welded aluminium platform gives you an open, flat deck with a black powder-coated finish. Keeping the platform itself relatively light leaves more of the available roof allowance for equipment, although the installed rack and mounts still count towards your vehicle's limits.

Fitment and installation

This kit is for the JL Unlimited with a factory hardtop. It is not for a soft top or Sky One-Touch roof. The JL mounting system uses internal supports and requires drilling the hardtop, so plan a permanent installation rather than a clamp-on rack you remove between weekends.

Loading and securing your gear

Work to the lowest applicable limit for the vehicle, mounts and rack, including any off-road reduction. Subtract the installed rack and mounting weight from the vehicle roof allowance before adding cargo. Spread and secure the load: the BASE Rack limit is 25 kg per beam, and that does not override a lower limit elsewhere in the system.

Our BASE Rack ratchet straps connect directly to the dovetail and come as a pair. If you want lashing points for suitable straps you already own, the BASE Rack eyebolt tie-down set gives you four adjustable points. Both are available separately.

Frequently asked questions

Does the rack increase my vehicle roof-load limit?

No. The vehicle limit still applies, and it includes the weight of the platform and its mounting system. A rack rating on its own is not your available cargo capacity.

Will my existing accessories fit?

BASE Rack uses a dovetail attachment system. Use compatible mounts, or the appropriate adapters for existing T-slot accessories.

Can I carry a rooftop tent?

Only with a tent and mounting arrangement approved for the complete setup. Check driving and parked load limits separately, including the tent, mounts, occupants and bedding where applicable.

Are the accessories shown with racks included?

This order is for the roof rack kit. Storage boxes, recovery boards, lights, tents and their accessory mounts are separate unless specifically listed with the kit.
