Always stay within the maximum roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer and use all available attachment points on the van roof to distribute weight properly. After installation, recheck and retighten all hardware at approximately 100 miles, and then every 600 miles thereafter. At the same time, inspect the overall integrity of the rack every 600 miles or at least once a month, whichever comes first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tec Vanlife","offers":[{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 130\" High Roof","offer_id":45603713843390,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-130","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" Mid Roof","offer_id":45603713876158,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148M","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" High Roof","offer_id":45603713908926,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Modular Roof Rack For Ford Transit 148\" EXT High Roof","offer_id":45603713941694,"sku":"E-RR-T-TR-148X","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6359\/2382\/files\/Screenshot2024-04-04at3.20.40PM.png?v=1763410421"},{"product_id":"tec-vanlife-roof-rack-mounting-brackets-pair-ford-transit","title":"Tec Vanlife Roof Rack Mounting Brackets (Pair) - Ford Transit","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstablish a secure and modular foundation for your custom van build with these heavy duty aluminum mounting brackets, designed to connect Ford Transit factory mounting points to crossbars, roof racks, or 8020 framing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product-details__product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Free shipping to the lower 48 states o\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003en orders $150.00 or more.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eConstructed from 1\/4 inch high strength aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eFinished with powder coating to resist rust and UV damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eEngineered specifically to align with the factory mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eTop flange designed to create a flexible platform for mounting roof racks, roof rails, or crossbars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eSet includes two brackets for custom configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eBase length: 4 1\/4\" (108 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eTop flange length: 2 1\/2\" (64 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003eTotal height: 2 3\/4\" (70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"407\" data-start=\"153\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese mounting brackets provide the essential structural interface required to build a custom roof rack system on a Ford Transit.

Since the majority of airflow occurs at the front of the vehicle, the rack includes a front fairing designed to divert air above and below the rack structure.

Always stay within the maximum roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer and use all available attachment points on the van roof to distribute weight properly.
