Front Runner started as a handful of friends who are engineers, designers, outdoor enthusiasts and professional off-road drivers with a shared history of adventures into the wilds of Africa spanning 40 years. We set out to make the strongest and most versatile roof rack ever (and we also decided it should be nice to look at). 

Our South Africa factory is equipped with the very latest technology and manufacturing capabilities that help us dream big, design, build, test, sell and travel as we relentlessly pursue the strongest materials and best designs to perform in the most demanding environments on the planet. 

Today, Front Runner is the leading manufacturer of Expedition Grade roof racks, roof rack accessories, camping gear, storage systems, fuel tanks, water solutions and more. Whether you bike, climb, hunt, kayak, camp, ski, fish, or surf—Front Runner makes the best gear to get you there and back safely and reliably in comfort and style.
