Overland Roof Rack Accessories – Getting the Most Out of Your Rig

A quality roof rack transforms your off-road vehicle into a capable adventure machine. It frees up precious interior space while expanding cargo capacity for tools, equipment, and gear essential for overland and off-road expeditions. However, your roof rack reaches its full potential only when paired with the right accessories.

At LFD Off Road, we’ve engineered a comprehensive line of roof rack and crosssbar accessories designed to maximize functionality and reliability. From tool-specific mounts to versatile mounting solutions, our accessories help you organize and secure everything needed for successful trail adventures.

Tool-Specific Mounting Solutions

Hi-Lift Jack Mounts

Hi-lift jacks are indispensable recovery tools, but their size and weight make interior storage impractical. Our hi-lift mounts solve this challenge by securing your jack to the roof rack where it remains easily accessible yet out of the way.

We offer two distinct mounting configurations: standard and angled. The standard mount positions your jack on top of the rack, while the angled version mounts the jack along the rack's side. Both designs feature universal compatibility, working seamlessly with LFD roof racks, crossbars, and many other aftermarket systems.

Traction Board Mounts

When you're stuck in sand, mud, or snow, traction boards can mean the difference between self-recovery and calling for help. Our clamshell-style traction board mount provides secure storage with quick deployment capabilities.

The mount accommodates either two or four boards and bolts directly to one or two crossbars. Roof-mounted storage proves especially practical after use, as muddy boards stay outside your vehicle where they belong.

Jerry Can Mounts

Fuel and water storage becomes critical during extended backcountry travel. Our jerry can mounts, available in single and dual configurations, are engineered specifically for metal jerry cans while maintaining compatibility with Rotopax mounting systems.

A thoughtful design feature includes a cutout for Frontrunner water cans, allowing water dispensing without can removal. Since fuel cans should never travel inside your vehicle, roof-mounted storage provides a safe, accessible solution.

Universal Awning Mounts

Shade transforms any campsite from uncomfortable to enjoyable. Our universal awning mounts work with most aftermarket awnings and attach to LFD roof racks, crossbars, and many other rack systems.

Awnings deploy faster than traditional tents or canopies, providing instant relief from sun and weather. The convenience factor alone makes awning mounts a worthwhile investment for serious overlanders.

Versatile General-Use Accessories

Grab Handles

Simple additions often provide the biggest improvements in daily usability. Our grab handles mount to your roof rack's side, creating convenient access points when loading or unloading gear.

Strategic cutouts in the handle design accommodate work lights, allowing you to maintain grab handle functionality while adding illumination to your vehicle's sides.

Accessory Mounting Plates

When standard mounting points aren't sufficient, our accessory mounting plates provide additional stability and attachment options. These plates integrate with your existing roof rack or crossbar setup, creating versatile platforms for Rotopax containers, traction boards, or custom gear solutions.

Load Panels

Heavy-duty applications require robust mounting solutions. Our load panels span crossbars or racks, creating stable platforms specifically designed for cases like the FrontRunner Wolfpack series, Zarges cases, tools, and other substantial equipment.

Universal Window Panels

Maximize your vehicle's carrying capacity with our universal window panels. These steel panels mount to LFD roof rack side rails and may be compatible with other flat-face designs. The system includes RAM Mount suction cups that secure the panel to your rear window, providing additional stability. This configuration excels at organizing recovery gear, first aid supplies, tools, and Rotopax containers in an easily accessible location.

Configure Your Perfect Setup

Adding roof rack storage represents just the first step in creating an effective overland vehicle. The second crucial phase involves configuring your system to carry everything your adventures demand.

Our accessory lineup addresses this challenge with American-engineered solutions built to withstand harsh trail conditions. Whether you need specialized tool mounts or versatile mounting platforms, LFD accessories help you organize gear efficiently while maintaining easy access when conditions demand quick action.

Quality roof rack accessories aren't just convenience items—they're essential components of a well-prepared overland vehicle. Invest in proven solutions that enhance your adventures rather than complicate them.
