Off-Road Roof Racks

Why Invest in an Offroad Roof Rack?

While many people think that off-road tires and a powerful vehicle are enough for a successful offroad trip, the truth is a bit different. Aside from the essential components and accessories, offroad roof racks contribute to an amazing off-road experience. 4x4 roof racks don’t increase a vehicle's offroad capability directly, however, they can improve the overall experience and affect the vehicle indirectly. Some vehicles come with OEM roof racks from the factory, but they’re not durable or strong enough to carry larger amounts of weight. This is where 4x4 roof racks show their true value. Investing in aftermarket roof racks will improve cargo capacity and interior space by allowing drivers to safely strap and carry cargo on top of the vehicle. Although this reduces fuel economy due to increased drag and less aerodynamics, it prevents damage in the interior, especially when bulky cargo is in question. When it comes to the effect on offroad capability, it’s worth mentioning that weight distribution plays a massive role, especially in longer overlanding expeditions when a lot of miles need to be covered on difficult terrain. Being that the roof rack is located closer to the center of the vehicle, it’s much easier to distribute the weight more easily, which in turn, improves handling and stability while driving over obstacles. Also, performance roof racks allow various equipment and accessories to be mounted without any modifications made to the vehicle itself. It also improves the car’s look by making it look more aggressive.
