Quick Release Bars
Easy installation on most platforms or rack systems, quick to to take your tent on and off, and can have awnings mounted directly into it, the Quick Release Bars were made to simplify rooftop tent builds.
Made with military grade aluminum and precision engineering, one profile mounts to the tent, and the other to your platform, rack or bars. 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.
Sold individually. Add 2 units for most setups, or 3 units for XL tents and more demanding off-road use.
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.

Rhino-Rack Leg adapter kit
If your vehicle is compatible with most Rhino-Rack leg models, this is one of the cleanest ways to mount your rooftop tent. Instead of buying a full rack platform or extra crossbars, the Rhino-Rack Leg Adapter connects the Quick Release Bars directly to the legs.
The result is a lighter, lower-profile, and more cost-efficient setup, built specifically around the Quick Release system. Add the adapter with your Quick Release Bars for a practical tent mounting solution without custom fabrication.
Each unit fits 1 Quick Release Bar
