Awnings, recovery gear, and side mounted accessories don't always need to stay on your roof rack between trips. These base brackets create removable mounting points so accessories can be swapped out without removing the entire rack setup.
Side-mounted roof rack accessories become harder to rearrange once brackets stay fixed in one position along the rack. These base brackets mount directly to Rhino-Rack Pioneer platforms, Reconn-Deck bars, and Vortex bars, creating removable mounting points for Stow It adapters (sold separately) and side-mounted rooftop accessories.
Accessory brackets take longer to reposition once mounting hardware has to slide through the entire rack channel. Zwifloc channel nuts drop directly into the side rail, letting you place the brackets anywhere along the rack without moving other mounted accessories.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at these Rhino-Rack STOW iT base brackets. Now, this mounting system is designed to make carrying and switching out side mounted accessories much simpler and more flexible. The biggest advantage is the quick release style setup, which is gonna let you easily remove accessories whenever you want extra clearance, need to reconfigure your setup, or simply want to store the accessory when it's not in use. So instead of permanently mounting gear, you're gonna be able to swap things around in just a few minutes.
These are also built to work with other STOW iT adapters, which are sold separately from this. So, if you plan to expand your setup later with additional accessories, this system is going to give you more mounting possibilities without starting over from scratch. The base bracket itself mounts directly to your RhinoRack Pioneer platforms, Reconn-Deck bars, and Vortex bars, making it compatible with several popular rack systems. Installation is made easier, thanks to the included Zwifloc channel nuts, and these nuts are going to drop directly into the side rail channel, so you don't have to slide hardware through the entire track or remove other mounted accessories just to reposition the brackets. That means that you can place the brackets exactly where you want them with much less hassle.
In terms of durability, the brackets are made from diecast aluminum, and they're designed to handle rough off-road and outback style terrain. They have a strong, long-lasting construction while still maintaining a clean, professional looking finish. So this kit includes everything that you see here on my table. You're gonna get two brackets. You're going to get the mounting hardware, the system's rated for up to 44 pounds per pair, making it suitable for carrying a variety of compatible accessories securely.
Instructions are also included to walk you through the pretty straightforward installation process. I think it's gonna wrap up our look today. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
