The ARB Base Rack is positioned as one of the most modular [roof racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-aeroblade) on the market that will provide avid adventurers and travelers alike with a way to keep their essential gear securely stowed outside of the vehicle.

The rack is crafted with an extremely [low-profile design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groenberg-weekend) that is strong and aerodynamic in order to not inhibit the driving capabilities of the vehicle. Drivers can utilize a series of moveable peripheral pieces in order to change the setup to suit their needs when stowing luggage, [camping supplies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-camping-accessories) and the like.

The ARB Base Rack also features the ability to have cables internally routed through the unit for a clean look that won't draw too much attention.
