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

Why this product
Here's the thing — the Slimline II Tall is the expedition rack that defined the overlanding category. At 44 lbs in aluminum with 55+ compatible accessories, it's a modular platform you build your entire setup around, not just a basket. The downside? The tall profile adds wind resistance, and this system gets expensive fast once you start adding accessories.
