There’s usually at least one time in every outdoor adventurer’s life when they didn’t have a roof rack to store their clunky gear. Sometimes a surfboard gets loaded awkwardly between the driver and the passenger seat. Hey, we’ve all been there. That said, it’s much safer for everyone in the vehicle when bulky items are properly carried outside the vehicle via racks. Roof racks are an easy vehicle modification that increases safety, efficiency, and storage capacity.
The storage capacity of Broncos, Jeeps, and other off-roading vehicles range from exceptional to just okay, depending on the model and size you get. When riding any type of two-door vehicle, it’s safe to say that storage space will feel a bit limited. The beautiful thing about vehicles is that you can customize them with all the trimmings you want to best prepare for adventures afoot. Roof racks are a phenomenal way to increase storage capacity while increasing the amount of cargo space for luggage and gear inside. I’m talking about kayaks, canoes, tents, bikes, surfboards – anything bulky that you don’t want to go inside. With the ability to carry a wide variety of outdoor gear, your vehicle can be converted into a versatile outdoor adventure “Jack of all trades.”
Believe it or not, the right roof rack installation will also make your vehicle more aerodynamic and streamlined. This can have positive impacts on your gas mileage, which is basically one of the biggest money-saving wins you could have as an outdoor adventure enthusiast. Smittybilt Racks & Carriers are some of the most durable and trusted roof racks you could get to accompany you on your off-road adventures.
