***Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack Systems work on almost all overlanding vehicles and come in several sizes - not just those listed above. Contact us to learn more about the right fit for your vehicle.*** 

The K9 Roof Rack System from Eezi-Awn is a revolutionary advancement in expedition-style racks; it is thinner, lighter, stronger, quieter, more functional, more aerodynamic, more durable, and more aesthetically complimentary to your vehicle than the competition.

Sizes

The K9 systems come in 1250mm (49") width, and 5 different lengths.  Far and away the most popular model is the 2.2M (87") long rack that starts a few inches behind the windshield and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch.  This rack maximizes your roof top capacity.  This is the rack favored by our friends at Expedition Overland.  They have taken these racks, and all the gear they can fit on them, all over the Americas without so much as a squeak.  The 1.6M (62") version is a great choice if you want to maintain the use of your sunroof.  It starts just behind the sunroof and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch.

Capacity

Capacity of the K9 roof rack system is broken into two measurements, static weight and dynamic weight.  Static is when the vehicle is stationary.  Dynamic is when the vehicle is in motion.  We have not tested the K9 racks on vehicles to the point of roof failure.  We can tell you what we have tested ourselves effectively.  A dynamic capacity in the range of 500 pounds is possible.  That load included a RTT, awning, dual fuel can holder, aluminum storage case with recovery gear, shovel, axe, under mount table, light bar, etc on a 2.2M long rack.  A static capacity of 1000 pounds is possible.  An example of static load increase would be adding people in the tent on the roof.  Please understand these capacities are on vehicles that have modified suspensions designed to manage this amount of weight.  They are not a warrantied or guaranteed capacity.  Your load capacity will vary.

No Drilling

The K9 Roof Rack System requires no drilling at all for any size rack.  Our proprietary mounting rail mounts right over the roof pinch weld trim and utilizes the OEM roof rack mounting points.

Installation

Installation of this rack system can be done by one person in approximately 1-1/2 hours.  Help lifting the platform on the roof would be appreciated.  You start by removing the factory roof rack, then attach the K9 mounting rail to the roof, followed by a full set of feet, and finally a platform on top.  Please see our Roof Rack Installation 101 video for more in depth explanation.  Written instructions are also provided with each rack system.

System Components

The components used on the 5th Generation rack systems include a pair of mounting rail, a set of K9 feet (2 per platform cross brace), and a platform.
