Our Load Bars are the most versatile diameter to fit the accessories you are looking to put on your rack. The Strong Aluminum tubing has a black texture powdercoat finish and will hold up to years of use, unlike some that are plastic-coated.
The ARS low-profile Tombstone Mounts are the solution for adding accessory load bars while keeping the overall assembly height minimized. Made of solid rust-proof billet aluminum, the mounts have a type III anodized finish and they fasten using a total of eight zinc-plated bolts/nuts.
