The DEK directly mounts to fixed points on vehicles without any drilling to your vehicle’s roof. This allows for a seamless and low profile integration of the rooftop platform.

OVER THE HOOD LIGHTING

Lit variations feature five Diode Dynamics C2 Pro LED Pods encased in a custom-fabricated housing, delivering over 15,000 raw lumens over-the-hood with OEM-style integrated appearance. 

AMPLE T-CHANNELS

With integrated T-channels and a range of customizable accessories, the DEK is ready for whatever gear your trip demands, from kayak racks to bike racks to camping essentials. Our IBEX Shovel Mount, Jack Mount, and T-Nut kit are directly compatible with DEK™T-Channels.

LOW PROFILE

The DEK’s low-profile silhouette reduces wind resistance and noise for a comfortable (and stylish) ride on any terrain. 

ADJUSTABLE CROSSBARS

The adjustable crossbars are designed to give you complete flexibility when loading up. Easily reposition them to fit your gear—whether it’s a cargo box, bike, or kayak—and optimize space for your vehicle’s unique features like a sunroof or antenna. This ensures maximum compatibility without sacrificing accessibility or functionality.
