The ARB HardLid Rigid Tonneau Cover Base Rack Mount Kit is engineered for owners seeking to expand the utility of their ARB HardLid system. Designed by ARB, a leader in off-road and expedition equipment, this mount kit allows you to securely attach an ARB Base Rack to your HardLid, transforming your vehicle's load-carrying capabilities for touring, overlanding, or work applications.
This ARB mounting kit is specifically designed to interface with the premium T-shaped rails of the HardLid rigid tonneau cover. By providing a robust and secure foundation for the ARB Base Rack (1255x1285mm), it enables you to carry a wider range of gear, from camping equipment to recovery tools, without compromising access to your tub or load area.
The ARB HardLid Base Rack Mount Kit is ideal for:
This mount kit is particularly useful for Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners who have fitted the ARB HardLid and want to maximise storage flexibility without sacrificing security or weather protection.
While the kit is designed for straightforward installation, its compatibility is specific: it is intended for use with the ARB HardLid rigid tonneau cover and the ARB Base Rack in the 1255x1285mm size. The mounting system integrates directly with the HardLid's T-shaped rails, ensuring a secure and stable fitment without the need for drilling or permanent modification.
Installation of the ARB HardLid Base Rack Mount Kit is designed to be simple and requires only basic tools. The kit attaches directly to the HardLid's factory T-rails, allowing for quick setup and removal of the Base Rack as needed. No specialist skills are required, making it suitable for DIY installation. Please note: this kit includes only the mounting hardware for attaching the Base Rack to the HardLid; the Base Rack itself is sold separately.
Many owners face the challenge of balancing secure tub storage with the need for additional roof-mounted cargo space. The ARB HardLid Base Rack Mount Kit addresses this by enabling a modular, secure, and weatherproof solution. It allows you to keep valuable gear protected under the HardLid while carrying larger or bulkier items on the Base Rack above, making it ideal for extended trips or demanding work environments.
