    Quick Release Bars

    The Quick Release Bars were created to simplify installation and make it easier to remove and reinstall the tent. Made with military grade aluminum and precision engineering, each bar is custom extruded to our various sizes and models.
    One profile mounts to the tent, the other to your bars or rack. Once aligned, the tent slides into place and tightens from the sides (not from the bottom), avoiding the awkward under-rack access of traditional systems. It is fast, secure, and ready for optional awning attachments.

    Sold individually. Add 2 units for most setups, or 3 units for XL tents and more demanding off-road use.

    How to Install?

    Compatible with most roof bars and rack platforms using the included hardware, while adding only 20 mm ( 0.8 in ) of height.

    For racks, install through the rack channels on platforms such as Sherpa, Front Runner, Rhino-Rack, ARB and Defender-style racks.

    For bars, clamp directly to existing crossbars, or mount to Front Runner feet with an additional adapter ordered sepparately.

How to install

1

Install the thinner release bars onto the rooftop tent’s bottom mounting tracks

Place the tent on the side or upside down on a supported soft surface, and slide the smaller bar into the tent rail gutters. Do not tighten to full torque at this point.

2

Tighten the wider receiving slot bars onto the crossbar or rack system

With the attachment pieces that slide along the side of the receiving slot bars, fix them tight to vehicles existing platform at the spacing recommended for your tent.

For bars, simply clamp the receiving bars into the existing bars with the included hardware.

3

Slide the tent on top and align both sets of bars

Place the tent on top of the bars. Lift the tent to adjust the release bars into the receiving bars. Double check to ensure they fit properly.

4

Tighten the rooftop tent bars and side bolts

From below, tilt up the tent just enough to see the bolt opening and tighten all the bolts of the release bar on both sides. Then lower the tent back into the receiving bar and tighten the side locks.

5

Lock it and you’re set!

Secure each end by bolting the safety cover and you’re good to go.
