iKamper, known for its innovative rooftop tents and adventure gear, has just redefined overlanding with the launch of its Raconteur Rack Series. Designed to provide a rock-solid foundation for outdoor exploration, the Raconteur racks are overbuilt and optimized for durability, strength, and functionality. If you’re serious about overland adventures, this rack system might be the missing piece for your rig.
The Raconteur Rack Series are Built to Last
The Raconteur Series is engineered for toughness, featuring a steel frame, stainless steel hardware, and high-strength aluminum cross bars. Finished with a chip-resistant powder coating, these racks are made to endure even the harshest outdoor conditions. Whether you're mounting a rooftop tent, hauling heavy gear, or loading up for a weekend off-grid, the Raconteur has you covered.
Available for some of overlanding's most popular vehicles—the Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, and Jeep Gladiator—the Raconteur Rack Series eliminates the headache of finding a rack compatible with your vehicle. Plus, it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with iKamper rooftop tents and their new adventure-ready accessories.
