Do you have a link for the moutning kit?
Their e-tail site is very clunky. Better to call, likely.

Anyone have one installed yet? With pictures to post?
I have one on the way with the slime line light bar and roller.
It’s quoted to be here by the end of January. I will post up pictures once I have it installed.

Gross! What color slime will it be?
Sorry, I just couldn't resist...

Ha! Sorry in advance for the Slime* Line light bar pictures on the way.
Speaking of... anyone have any details or pictures of the light bar installed with the wind deflector? I understand that this can happen if you knock out the precut holes in the wind deflector.

That's correct...I'll be installing mine this way. No pictures as I'm still waiting on the rack. I have a few accessories and they are all very high quality as is the light bar. I'm hoping for rack delivery next month.
For anyone curious, here are the Base Rack installation instructions.
Anyone know if the fitting kit for the 100 series is available? I'm only seeing 200 series as of now
Anyone have a link to the mounts? The rack....I think i found on quadratec. would 72 or 84 be the right length for full rack?

Can't find the mounts anywhere on karkraftautomotive.com
ARB BASE Roof Rack 84x51in for ARB BASE Roof Rack
The ARB Roof Rack is a lightweight and strong roof that is off-road ready no matter where you take your Jeep. Its sleek low profile design is due to its fully welded design which not only adds extra strength but also allows you to have a much low roof clearance even when packed with gear.

It’s difficult to tell on the Quadratec site as they don’t show the ARB part number, but I ordered the 84 X 51 rack from Mainline Overland. The ARB part number is “Base11” and it comes with the mounts. Mine should be shipping to me from ARB USA next week (I ordered in November).
For the 84x51 rack the 200 Series mount is ARB part number 17915010.

If you want the shorter version of the rack the mount is part number 17915030.
I believe these are the mounts only and do not include the air deflector. The parts numbers for the air deflector are 17915040 for the long rack and 17915060 for the shorter rack.

Thanks @TCM and @catastrofe So looks like desertrat website shows the rack, mount, and deflector all separate. mainlineoverland has the 3 combined already for our convenience. Looks like they both come out to the exact same little shy of $1200. I'm adding 160w solar to my roof, so I'd be looking at the full length 84x51 to replace my smaller Baja Rack
I think the answer to this is, "No" but does anyone know if there would be a way to mount a Yakima cargo box on this? I have one that I use on rare occasion. But I would prefer a rack that has a way for me to put the box up there for special situations. (Like when the kids and grandkids come to town and I need the extra storage). Right now I have a Gobi with moveable crossbars so mounting that cargo box is easy. But aside from the occasional use of the cargo box the Gobi is overkill for what I need so I am going to sell (for cheap). Now I'm looking for lower profile, lighter weight, versatile and shorter options. (I have no need for the rack to extend over the moon roof. All I carry on my rack is a pair of Matrax with a should on top).
It really depends on how the cargo box mounts to a rack in general. ARB makes a few different fittings that can be purposed as needed, but all require the ability to use a bolt to mount the accessory. So if the cargo box can be mounted with bolts, you can probably make it work.
This box, long and narrow, is only a couple of years old. The mounting system is extremely versatile IF you have crossbars whether they are round or "aero". Underneath the box are for "claw-like" clamps that slide around the crossbars and then are clamped tight. Very easy to put on and take off. But you need crossbars. There is some adjustability as to the width of the crossbars and you may need "other crossbars" to be out of the way. I suspect the crossbars on the Base Rack are too close together. I sent an email to ARB about this. Haven't heard back yet.
That makes sense. I have a similar situation with my Thule Hullavator. While not a requirement, the easiest way to attach it to my current rack for quick on/off is to mount it on Yakima cross bars with quick release towers and Landing Pads. This way I can remove everything and pull into my garage. A more permanent mount would require me to park in my driveway.
I’ll be experimenting with ways to quickly attach/detach my Yakima cross bars to the Base Rack. Will post here what I come up with.
Just to double-check. I'm getting a big electrical install at a local shop here, they said they could order this for me through them. I think I'm gonna go for it, fair price and I just lived the look since I 1st saw it. Also getting solar and lighting on my roof, so rather do it on my forever rack instead of the temp rack i have up there now. Anyways, before they order can you confirm that they have all these part numbers correct? Just double-checking. I'm going for the full-length 84x51 rack. I'll be adding 160w rigid solar, So i need all the space
