Roof Racks & Accessories
Make room for the equipment that makes your trip possible. At Uncharted Offroad, we install roof racks and accessories for camping, overlanding, hunting, paddling, and everyday travel.
From vehicle-specific rack systems to custom builds for vintage adventure vans and classics, we work alongside you to find a setup that fits your vehicle, budget, and adventure style.
A Roof Rack Built Around What You Carry
Choosing a roof rack starts with the equipment you want to bring.
Are you carrying kayaks to the lake? Making room for camping supplies? Mounting a rooftop tent for longer trips? Building a vintage van with a layout that requires custom fabrication?
Those answers help us narrow down the right rack style, mounting system, and accessories. We also consider how your vehicle functions between adventures, including garage clearance, access to your equipment, and the convenience of removing accessories when you don’t need them.
The goal is a system that makes packing and traveling easier.

Roof Rack Accessories for Your Adventure
A well-planned rack gives your equipment a place and keeps it accessible when you need it. We help you select and install compatible accessories for the way you travel.
Rooftop tents and camp equipment
We plan tent mounting, opening clearance, and access around the rack and vehicle. Compatible under-rack tables can also provide a convenient place to store a camp table.
Kayak and paddleboard carriers
We help you choose carriers and mounting hardware suited to your watercraft and rack, with attention to loading access and secure transport.
Storage boxes and cargo mounts
Roof-mounted storage can free up interior space for passengers and everyday equipment. We consider box dimensions, mounting options, access, and the weight of the complete load.
MAXTRAX and traction-board mounts
Dedicated mounts give recovery boards a consistent storage location. We help position them where you can reach them without unloading the rest of the rack.
Off-road, camp, and chase lights
We install compatible off-road lights, light bars, camp lighting, and rear-facing chase or dust lights. Placement, wiring, and switch access are part of the installation plan.
Starlink, weBoost, and solar accessories
We can integrate Starlink mounts, weBoost antennas, and solar panels into your rack layout, accounting for mounting requirements, cable routing, and the space needed by your other equipment.
Custom Roof Racks for Vintage Vans & Classics
Some vehicles call for a custom approach.
We build custom rack solutions for vintage adventure vans, classics, and other applications where an available rack doesn’t meet the vehicle’s needs. That can include custom brackets, mounting arrangements, and layouts designed around specific equipment.
We start with the vehicle’s roof structure, mounting locations, condition, and intended load. From there, we work with you on dimensions, clearance, accessory placement, and a design that complements the vehicle.
Whether you’re outfitting a classic for weekend camping or developing a vintage van for longer adventures, we’ll help you explore a practical solution.
Lighting, Solar & Electrical Integration
Adding powered accessories to a roof rack means planning how they connect to the rest of your vehicle.
We can coordinate rack-mounted lighting, solar panels, and connectivity equipment with your existing electrical system or a new onboard power setup. We consider protected wiring routes, switching, service access, and appropriate weather sealing wherever cables enter the vehicle.
Planning a dual battery system or solar charging at the same time? Discussing the rack and electrical layout together helps us place components where they work well as a complete setup.
Advice From People Who Live the Lifestyle
We spend time outdoors and use aftermarket accessories ourselves. That experience shapes the questions we ask and the details we consider when helping you plan a build.
Can you reach your recovery boards with the tent installed? Will a storage box open where you want it? Is there room for both your solar panel and the gear you use most?
We work through those practical details alongside your budget. Whether you’re starting with a rack and a few essential mounts or planning a complete overland setup, we’ll help you prioritize the equipment that serves your needs.

Roof Rack Installation FAQs
How much does roof rack installation cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle, rack system, accessories, and installation requirements. Custom fabrication, wiring, or roof modifications can also affect the estimate. Contact us with your vehicle details and the equipment you want to carry for a tailored quote.
Which roof rack is best for my vehicle?
The right choice depends on your roof configuration, intended cargo, accessory needs, and budget. We help you compare compatible options from the brands we work with and explain the differences that matter for your use.
Can I mount a rooftop tent on any roof rack?
No. The vehicle, rack, mounting hardware, and tent must be compatible. We review the applicable limits while driving and while parked with the tent occupied, along with the tent’s mounting and support requirements.
Will installing a roof rack require drilling?
It depends on the vehicle and selected system. Some racks use existing mounting points or compatible roof rails, while other installations require drilling or additional mounting hardware. We explain the proposed mounting method before work begins.
Can you add accessories to my existing rack?
Often, yes. Share the rack’s brand and model, along with the accessories you want to install. We’ll review mounting compatibility, available space, and load requirements.
Can I build the system in stages?
Yes. We can help you choose a rack with your future plans in mind, then add compatible accessories as your needs and budget develop. Discussing planned tents, lighting, or solar equipment early helps us account for their space and mounting needs.
