The Tier One Metalworks Roof Rack Rail System is the ultimate slimline mounting solution for the 78 series — Designed to be clean, strong and incredibly versatile. Proudly Australian-made and built for harsh touring conditions, this low-profile modular system delivers exceptional strength and durability without unnecessary bulk. With over 2 years of in-house development and real-world testing, these rails have been refined into one of the strongest slimline systems available.
Originally designed for direct-mounting rooftop tents, this platform now supports full touring setups with the addition of crossbars. The included crossbars create a complete roof-rack platform.
Manufactured from 3mm 304 Stainless Steel — a premium material choice selected for maximum corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
All items can still be purchased separately. For direct-mounting rooftop tents or existing platform racks head to Roof Rack Rail Sides

DIRECT TENT MOUNTING (IMPORTANT)
This complete system includes six crossbars, however For the lowest possible tent height, you can mount your rooftop tent directly to the rails. To do this, purchase the Roof Rack Rail Sides separately.
WHY IS STAINLESS MORE EXPENSIVE?
Stainless steel costs significantly more than mild steel in both raw material and manufacturing time. We’ve chosen 304 stainless because it delivers superior corrosion resistance, long-term durability and a premium finish — making it the best option for serious touring and harsh Australian environments.
