Been trying to decide between the two aluminum mesh racks for my FJ Cruiser. Just not sure about the modular racks. I like the idea of not having move eyelets around.
I am in the process of ordering a kit the Base 75 I believe, but I am not sure about what tie downs that come with this kit. I would need a some of those spring load tie downs, as well. Do we need to have a T slot for those ? Nice stuff..
@@OverlandBound that’s amazing. I think that’s exactly what I was looking for. Now I guess I should try to save up some money for one. Or just try to win this one lol :) thanks for the reply have a great week and holiday
I wonder if this can fit on a Toyota Sienna. And, if I want to buy the awning - how does it attach to the car? Do I need this rack? Do I need crossbars if I do not have the rack? I can find nothing that tells me yes or no.
Hi Melissa - the ARB website has the vehicle applications available. The awning mounts to a rack, but it does not need to be this rack. It will not mount to crossbars. Here's some info on the ARB Base Rack Applications: arbusa.com/roof-racks/arb-base-rack/sizes-guard-rail-systems/
@@OverlandBound It isn't. You can adjust the crossmembers to fit your vehicle specific backbone rails. And you could of course, if you want, adjust the longitudinal extrusions. But there's no need fot that cause the gaps aren't that wide. Have it on my LR3 and love it, carries >100kgs (way above roof load specs) with no issues at all. Best from OB3690
@@OverlandBound And all that ARB stuff is quite proprietary, isn't it? The widely used T-Slot system allows way more variety and usage of accessories 'cross different makes.
did you ever install on your 80? Really looking for real worl. The Front runner is coming off. I thought you would totally get this installed but I havent seen any posts with this on your rig!
Very gracious of ARB to offer a product giveaway. It's well outside my needs and current vehicle plan, but looks like a well thought out system. I'll hold back my entry to ever so slightly increase everyone else's odds. Good luck to all the entrants!
Keen on a follow up video, I’d like to know if that light bar causes a whistling effect. I heard the front runner roof racks are noisy. I got over excited to enter the competition and spelt my email address wrong haha.
How does the rack sits on the roof? Does it have an option for roof rails and gutters? I have seen too many times that the old style that sits on gutters digs in and bend the gutters once you load the rack with heavy gear like a raft, coolers etc. There are newer design racks that sit along the whole gutter and distributes the weight evenly and not in 4 or 5 discrete points.
They are discreet points similar to my Gobi - I've never had issues with the way the Gobi mounts - its very secure. With the ARB however, its a new product - so we need some trail time with it in the community. Hi Ofer!
Looks like a great rack! If I didn't already have the Front Runner, I'd take a good look at this one. Are you planning on putting this on your 80? How will your 3 bin setup change with all the accessories taking up space on top? - OB#27203
How do you find the wind noise, I was told by someone who fits them not to bother without the wind deflector as the noise is unbearable, not sure if they where trying to steer me to their preferred brand but the arb design would suit my needs better.
So..$730 for some flat aluminum square tubing welded together...am I missing something??? Literally about 100 bucks worth of material here that could be ordered to your door in a few days. Show me in actual stress tests that the welded version is stronger than one put together w quality hardware. This is just stupid corporate advertising.
Can I just say this was a LOT less expensive than I thought. I’m sure accessories will add up but I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks Michael!
Being a solid one-piece, well-welded rack makes it already superior to the majority of their competition. Good job, ARB.
Thanks to ARB for supporting the Overland community!
I absolutely love ARB. They hit it out of the park again
Jackpot!! Impressive selection of accessories. Wish there was a Wrangler JKU version. 🙁
I've been waiting for this rack to come out for a while now. Thanks for the great review.
Brilliant move with the Velcro strip. I’ve been using various rubber/foam but they aren’t very durable.

sweet partnership deal my dude! Love to see the suppliers working with content creators to add value to the community
Christmas came early!
Been waiting all day for this, finally!

Nice video, Michael! Have been waiting for this rack since they announced in few months back. Hoping to get it by next year.
Definitely need one for the 80! Cool system! Are you holding onto the GOBI?
I am, yes. This is a good rack though!
I’d love the GOBI.
Win or not I'm getting one just because they support us! I was about to order a front runner, but I'll wait!
I'm waiting for that FJ cruiser mount
Are these going to be available at the OB store? Also will there be a universal model available for my 1989 Bronco?
Not in the store Mike! Adding the vehicle application link to the descriptions!
Really nice rack from ARB! I've been looking at different ones for my 4R and this is sweet. Love the welds.
Michael, did you end up getting one for your 4R? I'm looking at adding one to my 5th gen. Main application would be for and iKamper 2.0 RTT
ARB here in Australia knows where your wallet is but they are great quality products and their shops install them well.
This is so cool does it need to be drilled in to the car or can it just be installed to a top of of Jeep withoUt drilling into the roof
The one I have mounts to the drip rails - no drilling.
@@OverlandBound that’s amazing. I think that’s exactly what I was looking for. Now I guess I should try to save up some money for one. Or just try to win this one lol :) thanks for the reply have a great week and holiday
That'll complete my new 5th Gen T4R build nicely :-)
A new ARB rack would be sweet!👍😎
Will this rack accommodate a RTT?
Love your stuff.
Do you have arb base rack for Bj40 1984?
Kindly review for me pls 🙏🙏

Best part of the video was the Old Dominion Freight truck delivering the pallet
Mike, seriously, have you ever checked out the Rhino Rack Pioneer platform?
To my knowledge it is not a solid, welded, one-piece platform correct?

Is there a way to mount a 4k or 6k wraptor awning without having the rails? Just the platform only? Thanks!
Is this available for the 200 series Land Cruiser yet?
Win or not, this video has made my decisioin for me about what rack I need for my new 5th generation runner!
good job dirka dirka. does arb make one for the 4rd gen TACOMA?
Hey we have the same tape measure. And thats about the only thing, other than my FJ80, we have gear wise 😂 nice rack!
did you ever install on your 80? Really looking for real worl. The Front runner is coming off. I thought you would totally get this installed but I havent seen any posts with this on your rig!
I did not. We gave it to an Overland Bound member. I have a Gobi rack.
Looks very solid!
Will this fit on a S10 Blazer 1995 -2005?
are you able to install your arb awning on the roof rack with rail on the side?
Watching this for the second time lol I want one love how I wouldn’t have to drill it in!!!
Any idea if the base rack fits Pajero SWB?
Great rack and well done ARB !

I’ve been waiting to see a review, now I want one more than ever. 2000 Toyota LC.
Contact Cruiser Outfitters and reserve one in the April shipment!
I want to be whining this.... winning 😁 Really the coolest giveaway.
I haven’t been able to find any info on tents with this rack. Do you know of any of them will mount to the new rack?
Come on Santa Claus.... pleeeaaase
Nice rack, but not for my JKU :/ or will be there a version even so for Jeeps?
Bummer i would love to get this for our Tahoe, but not sure how one would attach it.
Me too to bad they totally missed a huge market
Tahoe s and suburban s
I am liking those welds! Looks solid but still light. That’s the perfect combo

This rack looks sleek! Seeing this streamlined on the roof of my vehicle.
Thanks OB & ARB - I am keeping my fingers crossed :-)

You should create the email with the typo in case it wins. 😂 Thank you for watching!

Or is ARB COMING UP WITH LOCK STRAPS???
Go Australia and a great product 👍🇦🇺🍻
Great product review. Best reviews online.
can you please show us how to mount the rack on your vehicle and if this rack works with other vehicles such as 5th gen 4runner.
Hi Ethan - head on over to the ARB Base rack website for vehicle applications. The 80 mounts on the drip rail - no drilling. Its a very solid mount.
I was so pumped to see this, my base rack should be here in feb. I’m not a youtuber so I waited for the air dam to be available.
TH-camrs don't like air dams? :D
I now want one for the top of my camper shell on my ram 2500. Will it fit on that? What are the measurements of the rack?
There are quite a few sizes. Hit up the ARB site!
I'm loving the ARB Base rack on my new Jeep!! awesome video Michael!!
Where are you located?
I like this guy.
Just registered 👌 👍 😀
I love it its not ling enough for my defender
Is there a way not to block off the sunroof area?
How is this roof rack in
the present doing now?
Probably flew off. Never said weight capacity…. Static or dynamic, never buy a rack if you don’t know. Reputable rack makers test racks, and publish

I thought this was a family channel. That’s dead sexy.
Great review, as always. Thank you for sharing and for a chance to win.
Do you know if ARB makes an attachment for this rack to mount the ARB Jack? This is so needed. Can you ask Dirk? Want this rack for my FJ

I have a 2018 4 Runner. Is this ARB rack a no drill or do I have to drill into my roof?
Good looking rack! ARB is quality for sure!
Can you please re fold your flag properly as a veteran it bothers me seeing it in each video. Thank you.
