Storage for All Your Gear
Your Ford Transit is home when you’re on the road and that means you’re bringing along a lot of gear. The longer the adventure, the more plentiful and complex your gear requirements become. One thing’s for certain – even though your Transit is large and roomy, you still need more storage. If you’re on the lookout for effective storage that keeps all your stuff clean, dry, secure, and accessible but doesn’t add bulk or unnecessary weight that hampers your fuel economy and overall vehicle performance, then the Ford Transit DRIFTR roof rack is for you.
The Backwoods Adventure Mods DRIFTR Roof Rack offers you a secure, lightweight place to mount solar panels, cargo boxes, or any other gear you need or want to bring along. The rack plus our easy-to-use triple T-slotted extrusions make customizing your rack a snap so you can get exactly the storage you need.
