The modular roof platform that built the overlanding industry
Last reviewed: March 2026

Why this product
The half-size Slimline II gives you the same expedition-grade aluminum construction and modular accessory system at 33 lbs — just on a shorter platform. It works well for SUVs where you don't need full-length coverage or want to keep some roof space open. The downside? You're still paying premium Front Runner prices for half the rack, and the direct-mount system means a more involved install than crossbar-based baskets.
