  • New Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack System

    Salt Lake City, UT September 11, 2012.  New for the fall of 2012, Eezi-Awn introduces the K9 Roof Rack System.  It is the next level in expedition grade roof rack systems.  The K9 Roof Rack System is thinner, stronger, more aerodynamic, and more functional that any expedition rack on the market today.  The front to back aluminum extrusion slot slat design slices the air with a 1-3/8”high platform profile, and keeps the rack very light and incredibly strong. With 6mm rack edge slots and two 8mm slots per slat, the surface of the K9 platform is infinitely compatible for mounting your gear. The K9 rack system is offered in many popular configurations, or by individual component.  Now available in the United States through Equipt Expedition Outfitters. (more…)
