About this product
Front Runner Black Tie – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
The most common frustration with a roof rack is that the thing you want to strap down never lines up with a place to hook a strap. These solve that completely. Each ring slides into the T-slot of a Front Runner rack slat and hand-tightens where you put it – top rail, bottom rail or side rail – so the anchor point goes where the load needs it.
No tools are involved. You slide the ring along the slot, position it and tighten by hand. When the next trip carries something a different shape, you move it. That is a small thing that changes how much a rack gets used, because the alternative – improvising a strap route around rack slats – is what makes people stop bothering to tie things down properly.
The rings are galvanised steel with a black powder coat over the top. That is two layers of corrosion protection rather than one, which matters in Dar es Salaam and along the coast where salt air works on any exposed steel fitting. They sit low against the rack when nothing is clipped to them, so there is nothing to snag a rope on or to rattle at speed.
They take Stratchits, ratchet straps, rope or bungee cords equally, and they are sold in pairs. Most vehicles end up with four or six of them, because they cost little and each one removes a small annoyance.
