Features & Specs
Cali Raised designed this rack to be very easy to install, requiring no major modifications (no drilling). To minimize weight, it is constructed from 3/16″ aluminum, but it can still support more than 1000 pounds (at a testing maximum, which exceeds roof load rating) of additional weight to carry all of your gear.
This options stands out from the others because of its adjustable LED wind deflector, or ALWD for short. No other rack on the market has anything like this, and it allows for easy hiding and protection of your lightbar when off the trail. They also offer a 360 degree lighting package, making it easy to outfit – all in one spot.

360 Degree Lighting

If you’re just looking for a reliable option to store your gear then you can opt for no light cutouts as well.
