Front Runner Roof Racks and Accessories for Land rovers.

“The ultimate overland driving destination for many people is Africa.

Scenery, wildlife, culture, space and remoteness it has it all in abundance, so where better then to source the finest range of expedition equipment than from Front Runner based in South Africa.

By utilising the very latest materials and technology combined with CAD (Computer Aided Design), and years of experience in the bush Front Runner has developed the most advanced and versatile range of Land Rover expedition accessories.

Front Runner’s mission statement is to provide quality engineered 4x4 accessories that represent excellent value whilst maintaining a technological advantage. The range includes roof racks, rack accessories, storage systems, side awnings, water tanks and auxiliary fuel tanks.

Front Runner roof racks are constructed using strong and lightweight aluminium extrusions incorporating a unique T slot that allows you to attach and remove your equipment easily.

This gives you endless flexibility eliminating the need to drill the rack to mount your tent and equipment. Roof racks come in various sizes and configurations to suit all Land Rovers.

Roof rack feature include:

1. Front Runner Roof Racks are all made from 6063 Grade aluminum.

2. The Front Runner Roof Racks are approved by no fewer than 6 vehicle manufacturers in South Africa.

3. The Front Runner Roof Racks are powder coated and were tested by being exposed to a neutral salt for a period of 816 hours without any visible defects. With the method of testing being SABS ISO 7253 under the conditions of 23+/- 2 Degrees C and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity.

4. The fact that the Front Runner Roof Racks are made from aluminum makes Front Runner Racks far lighter than convention steel roof racks.

5. Being made from aluminum means that the Front Runner Roof Racks will never rust.

6. The Front Runner’s powder coated finish prevents the aluminum from oxidizing – oxidization leaves a white film on the racks that ends up rubbing off everything,

7. The outer rim of the Front Runner Roof Rack is bent around the corners with only a weld in the front and rear to join the two halves together. This adds significant strength to the outer construction of the rack.

8. The outer rim is also bent over the top and the bottom to give extra strength and support.

9. The Front Runner Roof Rack has a lip midway through the inside of the outer rim which creates a groove into which the cross slats of the rack are fitted. This patented groove in turn holds the slat both on top and at the bottom meaning that the cross slats of the roof rack are supported in a socket , the slats are then welded in to place for further strength and support. This construction makes the Front Runner Roof Racks extremely tough and durable and amongst the strongest in the world.

10. The slats of the Front Runner Roof Racks are slotted both on top and at the bottom to allow an M8 bolt to be slid from side to side along the slats. This design means that you can attach any of the Front Runner Roof Rack accessories to the top of the rack without having to drill holes in the slats. Fitment of these accessories is made even easier as you will only require one spanner to fit or remove any brackets. The same slot runs on the bottom of the slat for under slung accessories like a table bracket

11. the slats underside on the Front Runner Roof Racks allows you to attach as many mounting legs/feet as required - mainly for people who need to drastically exceed the load limits while on rough terrain. (This is not a recommended practice but people have been known to do it)

12. The Front Runner gutter mount legs are made from one piece of bent aluminum which gives them amazing amounts of strength. The only weld on the Front Runner gutter leg is where the leg is attached to the gutter channel strip. As this weld is at the bottom of the leg, it only takes direct downward force and therefore removing any probability of a failure.”

Double Jerry Can Holder from Front Runner

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Whether you’re going overland or offroad for the day it’s always a good idea to carry some extra fuel in case of emergency. If you happen to run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere or offroad, this could cause you some serious problems!

The easy and obvious solution is to carry a set of Jerry Cans with you on these kind of trips so if the worst comes to the worst and you find yourself running low, you can always have that piece of mind that you have the extra fuel on board in order to get you to the next fuel station!

The Electric Winch Shop now stock the quality built Front Runner Double Jerry Can Holder.

Double Jerry Can holder

This is a lightweight and well made tray with steel straps that are fitted with lockable catches and finished off in a durable black powder-coated finish for added protection against the elemants.

The clever stainless steel design is able to accomodate 2 large 20 Ltr Jerry cans safely and can be fitted to your vehicle without any drilling!

Since many of today’s new jerry cans vary ever so slightly is size (due to manufacturing discrepencies), most fuel can mounting systems seem to fail to secure the cans correctly. There is often room for movement between the carrier and the can causing rattles and wearing of the cans however slight the gap may be. There is little point in strapping down your cans if they aren’t truly secure.

The Front Runner Jerry Can holders offer a smart no rattle no wear solution. The adjustable locking steel clasp means your cans can be secured firmly in place over a lifetime of offroad abuse. In addition, the steel strap overs cover your jerry can filling caps. Once you’ve added your own padlock you will never have to worry about stolen or non-secure fuel while on the road.

The Front Runner Double Jerry Can Holder can be fitted to your vehicle in a number of ways and is even designed to easily bolt onto the flat slotted slats of the Front Runner Range of Roof Racks.

The Double Jerry Can holder can also be bolted to any flat surface and can be used in a wide variety of applications such as mounting to pickup truck beds or other brand roof racks.

It’s supplied as a flat packed kit complete with the brackets etc with little assembly required to have them ready for use. The Jerry Cans aren’t included in the package!
