Roof Racks

You can vastly improve your vehicle's storage capacity by mounting large cargo overhead. The roof rack forms the base of your cargo hauling system. This rack makes a perfect platform to mount your luggage or cargo carrier, and you can use it to mount other equipment like bike racks and ski racks. You can choose from a variety of luggage roof rack kits and pieces, depending on how your stock vehicle is equipped.

Complete Rack Systems

If your vehicle isn't equipped with a factory roof luggage rack, don't fret - we carry a full line of complete rack systems and rails that give your bare roof a secure place to mount cargo. Racks from ProRac are available for a wide variety of vehicles. You can build your rack system from scratch, too. Start with a set of ProRac Lo-Pro Tracks and add ProRac crossbars to complete the package. Instead of a modular system, you can also install a permanent mount ProRac roof rack. This rack includes a pair of fixed crossbars that mount directly to your roof without tracks for high strength and security. Another great brand, Rhino-rack, provides a number of versatile rack system options including the Euro Square Bar Roof Rack System and the 2500 Series Rack System.

Base Rack Systems & Crossbars

If your vehicle already has stock roof rails, go with the Thule roof rack system, which is custom-designed to mount flawlessly to your factory-installed rails. Thule roof racks feature strong crossbars and are compatible with various carriers, ski racks, and bike racks. Because they're custom-made to your exact vehicle, our crossbars and base rack systems simply drop right into your factory racks - usually with no tools required.

Equipment Racks

Once you're set up with a roof rack you can accessorize it with a wide variety of add-ons that let you easily carry large and awkward cargo like kayaks and skis. Our sport racks mount to ProRac and Thule racks to turn your vehicle into a versatile cargo-hauling machine. Here are some of the extra racks you can add to your vehicle:

Ski Racks & Snowboard Racks

There's nothing like hitting the slopes after the first big snowfall of the season. The problem is, driving with a bulky bundle of skis and snowboards running up the middle of your cockpit is not quite as fun. That's why manufacturers developed snowboard racks. These racks clamp onto your roof rails and carry up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards above your vehicle. Our ski & snowboard racks & carriers are also designed with oversize latch buttons so you don't even have to remove your gloves to get your board.

Surfboard Racks

You don't have to call your buddy with the pickup truck every time you want to hang ten. With a surfboard carrier mounted to your roof rack you can take your board to the beach the second the waves call your name. Surfboard racks are easy to install and carry a variety of boards. For maximum board security, go with the Inno BoardLocker surfboard rack. This rack includes a locking mechanism that keeps thieves and other beach bums from snagging your boards.

Kayak Racks & Canoe Racks

Canoes and kayaks make for great fun on lakes and rivers, but they can be hard to transport. That's not the case with our canoe racks & kayak carriers. Thule and Inno kayak racks let you haul your watercraft over your vehicle. They self-adjust to fit the curves of your boat, keeping it safely mounted and centered on your roof. For the easiest loading and unloading, check out the Thule Hullavator kayak carrier or the Thule glide and set kayak rack. These racks feature assisting designs that make mounting and removing your kayak hassle-free. Canoes pose a challenge due to their large size, but they're not a problem with versatile canoe carriers.
