Smittybilt Defender Series Roof Rack Mounting Kits

A: Yes the Smittybilt defender crossbar brackets will work with the Baja Rack Mega Mule rack

A: Can be use to attach Yakima- or Thule-type accessories

A: It does, but it’s not permanently affixed to the mount (you add it manually before attaching the mount). As such, it also won’t stay. I’ve lost one side already in just a few months of use, and I never too the rack or mounts off - so tbh, not sure how it fell off. 

A: Yes it has a small one on each bracket.

A: The answer Mikey gave you is probably wrong. 4WP says that this rack is for a 1995 4Runner. There is no track on the roof of a 95. MIKEY. Be honest.

A: Hi! It's hard to say. I had trouble figuring out how it would work on my '97 so ended up taking it to my mechanic(welder) and he did something kinda custom. End result is pretty awesome, I keep a 35" spare and misc. other goods up there. Put about 500 miles on the "Arizona Strip" last Fall without a hitch.

A: Gutter attachment points only. What I purchased is designed to be used with the defender safari style racks not just crossbars.

A: No, it does not increase the capacity and it is very light weight. The bars bend easily and I would probably try a platform rack if I did it again. Plus I would still be able to go in parking structures.

A: 8 come in this kit. DS4 is the part number -8 is the quantity 

A: You would ideally want to purchase DRS-6 (u-bolt style mounts).

A: This is just the mounting kit. I would mount the light bar to the rack itself.

A: That would not fit. I would suggest Thule or Yakima crossbars that mount to factory rails and or a flat rack.

A: This kit is meant for mounting the Smittybilt Defender Rack Roof Rack. Feel free to call into the sales line to place an order. If you live near a store you can set it up for in store pick up.
