Front Runner Outfitters KRLD024 Gutter Mount Load Bar Kit 1425mm for Land Rover Defender

The Front Runner Outfitters KRLD024 is a complete gutter-mounted load bar kit designed for the Land Rover Defender (1983–2016). Ideal for overlanders and off-road enthusiasts who need a low-profile roof-mounted carrying solution without committing to a full roof rack, this kit attaches directly to the vehicle's rain gutters and provides a strong, versatile platform for hauling gear, mounting a rooftop tent, or fitting a wide range of Front Runner accessories.

What's Included:

• 2 x LASS107 — No. 7 Gutter Mount Leg, 225mm (sold as pairs, 4 legs total)
• 1 x LBSK016 — Roof Load Bar Pair, 1425mm wide
• 1 x WDLB001 — Load Bar Wind Deflector, 10mm
• All mounting hardware and installation instructions

Key Features:

• Gutter-mount design — Load bars attach directly to the Defender's rain gutters via 225mm No. 7 legs for a secure, rattle-free fit
• Slimline II-compatible aluminum slats — Uses the same corrosion-resistant, black epoxy powder-coated T6 aluminum extrusions found in Front Runner's Slimline II roof racks
• Dual-sided T-slot system — T-slots on both the top and bottom of each slat accept standard 8mm bolts, allowing quick attachment and removal of accessories and equipment
• Wind deflector included — The 10mm front wind deflector reduces wind noise and drag at highway speeds
• Upgradeable to a full rack — The load bars and gutter mount legs serve as foundational components that can be integrated into a complete Front Runner roof rack system in the future
• Rooftop tent compatible — Supports a Front Runner Roof Top Tent or other accessories where a smaller footprint is preferred
• Durable construction — Built from black epoxy powder-coated T6 aluminum and high-strength steel for long-term weather resistance

Specifications:

• Load Bar Width: 1425mm (56.1")
• Leg Height: 225mm (8.9")
• Load Bar Height: 22mm (7/8")
• T-slot bolt size: Standard 8mm
• Installed Weight: Approx. 8 kg (18 lbs)
• Maximum load per bar: 25 kg (55 lbs) — distribute weight evenly across both bars

Installation Note: The height from the vehicle's rain gutters to the top of the installed load bars equals the leg height (225mm) plus the load bar height (22mm). The NAS roll cage found on some Land Rover Defender models may interfere with gutter mount leg placement — verify compatibility before ordering if your Defender is equipped with a NAS roll cage.
