Optimize your bivouac with the ARB Intrepid crossbar kit
The ARB crossbar kit is the essential accessory for ARB Intrepid rooftop tent owners looking to maximize the usefulness of their off-road setup. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your tent's hard shell, these bars allow you to carry extra gear without compromising interior space or sleeping comfort. Whether you're driving a Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, or any other equipped 4x4, this system of Roof Racks robust, meets the demands of the roughest tracks.
An ideal mount for solar panels and off-road accessories
One of the major advantages of installing these crossbars is the ability to attach a solar panel directly above your ARB Intrepid tent. Depending on the size of your tent (2.0, 2.5, or 3.0), you can select the perfectly sized kit to accommodate your power generation equipment or sand ladders. This setup allows you to keep your auxiliary batteries charged even during extended, self-sufficient camping trips—a crucial point for travelers using compressor refrigerators or LED lighting systems.
Rugged ARB design for all-terrain durability
True to ARB's reputation, this crossbar kit is made from high-quality, corrosion- and UV-resistant materials. The design is engineered to evenly distribute weight across the Intrepid tent shell, eliminating structural stress points. Assembly is quick and easy, transforming your tent into a versatile cargo platform in minutes. This system is especially useful for attaching lightweight but bulky accessories that need quick access during your off-road adventures.

What size kit should I choose for my tent?
It is essential to select the size that corresponds to your ARB Intrepid tent model (2.0, 2.5 or 3.0). Each kit has a pole width and fixings adjusted to the specific curvature and width of the shell to guarantee optimal stability and assembly without mechanical tension.
Can I install a solar panel on these bars?
Yes, that's the primary use of this product. The bars create a flat, raised surface above the rigid hull, which is ideal for mounting rigid or flexible solar panels. This allows the panel to ventilate from below, thus improving its thermal efficiency during sun exposure.
