The Front Runner Outfitters Rack Adaptor Plates for Thule Slotted Load Bars (RRAC017) from Nomadic Supply Company® bridge the gap between your existing Thule accessories and a Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack, letting you maximize the gear-hauling potential of both systems. Constructed from powder-coated steel and designed for straightforward installation via the T-slot system, these adaptor plates make it easy to run two Thule slotted Load Bars or Aero Bars on your Front Runner rack without sacrificing any accessories you already own.
For overlanders and adventure travelers who have invested in Thule bike mounts, kayak mounts, or other Thule accessories, the Front Runner Outfitters Rack Adaptor Plates for Thule Slotted Load Bars (RRAC017) offer a practical solution that protects that investment. Rather than replacing compatible gear that still performs well, these plates allow you to seamlessly integrate Thule load bars into your Front Runner Slimline II setup so the entire system works together.
The Front Runner Outfitters Rack Adaptor Plates for Thule Slotted Load Bars (RRAC017) are compatible with both the slotted-square and Aero Thule Load Bar profiles, though it is important to note that they are not designed for use with the basic Thule rectangular load bars that lack slots — a distinction especially relevant for customers purchasing Thule products in the United States. Pre-cut fitment holes and included T-slot bolts mean installation is straightforward, and the durable black powder-coat finish ensures the adaptor plates hold up against the elements on every journey.
