So, picture this: you're cruising down the road with your ACS, feeling all confident with its 400kg carrying capacity. But then, out of nowhere, a wild speed bump appears! And guess what? Your ACS might just turn into an overloaded beast with 400kg on its back. But hey, don't worry, because when it comes to being stationary, this bad boy can handle a whopping 635kg on its load bars. Just imagine the sight of three big adults snoozing in a rooftop tent attached to your ACS. And just for you off-road lovers, the ACS can carry 181kg of gear on top! Now that's what we call pushing the limits!

Well, they start off at a respectable 584mm when measured from the truck bed rails. But hey, we've got you covered if you need to go higher! Introducing our load bar riser brackets that can take those bars all the way up to 686mm. Perfect for those trucks with high roof lines, because who doesn't want to carry long loads above their cab and feel like a towering giant on the road? Especially if you're rolling in a Ford F250 or F350. Go big or go home, right?

The Active Cargo System is made of some seriously tough stuff. We're talking about a forged 6061 Aluminium upright arm that can handle anything you throw at it. And let's not forget the Military Grade aluminium components, because even your cargo needs to feel safe and secure. Oh, and did we mention the Grade 10.9 Black Zinc-Nickel plated fasteners? These bad boys are so strong, they could probably hold up a small spaceship (just in case you ever need to transport one).

Absolutely! Just make sure it's an under the rail bed liner, unless you want your clamps to feel left out and attach themselves to the wrong rails. A little modification might be needed, but hey, even bed liners need a little makeover sometimes!

Sure, you can transfer your current rack system to a new truck, but just be careful not to hurt its feelings. Racks can be quite sensitive, you know! However, if you're switching to a different bed length or a more particular vehicle, you might need a conversion kit. Don't worry though, we've got your back! Feel free to shoot us an email at sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au for all the juicy details.

On our fancy forged rack, you might be able to work some magic and slide it all the way to the back. But hey, don't go all MacGyver on us and start making modifications that would make even our warranty run for cover! Email us with any questions sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au

Nope, it's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - the ACS rails just can't cozy up with those Rambox side compartments. It's a classic case of "sorry, not sorry" for these incompatible buddies.

Absolutely! The rear sliding load bar may look like it's doing all the heavy lifting, but trust me, it's not a one-man show. Unless you want your precious cargo taking a joyride off the back of your truck, those braces are your best bet. Just remember, without those rear supports, it's like trying to balance a circus elephant on a unicycle. Good luck with that!

But hey, if you're feeling rebellious and want to skip the whole sliding load bar drama, we've got a bed rack that's all about no drills and no slides and is completely stationary.

Well, let's just say it won't give your truck a sudden case of "truck-itis" or make it do squats at the gym. Depending on your bed length, this bad boy will weigh anywhere from a feather-light 32kg for a 5 foot short bed to a still manageable 50kg for an 8 foot long bed. So, no worries about your truck needing to hit the treadmill anytime soon!

Oh, those sneaky little holes in the Ford F150! They're actually there for the factory truck bed extender, but fear not, our ACS rack won't be using them for mounting. So no worries about those holes cramping our style during installation. However, brace yourself for a mini DIY project - you'll need to channel your inner handyman and drill just two more holes. Don't worry, we've got you covered with some fancy inserts that come with the system. Time to unleash your inner Bob the Builder!

Sorry, but the ACS classic and forged are already as strong as a superhero on steroids. We've considered everything from truck bed load capacity to dynamic loading, so there's no need to ask them to hit the gym. The weight capacity on these bad boys is impressive: Classic can handle 113kg off road, 227kg on road, and a whopping 454kg Static. As for the Forged, it can handle 181kg off road, 363kg on road, and a mind-blowing 635kg Static. So go ahead and load 'em up - they won't break a sweat!

We've got you covered (pun intended). Our ACS is a perfect match for the ReTrax PowerTRAX XR Series, Retrax EQ, Pace Edwards Ultragroove, Pace Edwards Explorer Series, and even the JEEP Gladiator with the EGR RollTrac. Check out the next section, aptly named "ACS Forged Tonneau," for all the juicy details.

Unfortunately, the ACS and the GMC Carbon Pro Bed are not a match made in truck heaven. They have different personalities and just can't seem to get along.

Unfortunately, the ACS has a bit of a "braces phobia" and cannot work its magic with the RAM Multi-Function Tailgate. It seems those corner braces just cramp its style. Now, I know you're thinking, "Can't I just give it a little makeover and remove those braces?" Well, some customers have tried that, but let's just say we can't officially endorse any DIY orthodontic procedures for your tailgate.

Finally, after countless requests and a mountain of pleading emails, we have succumbed to the pressure and unleashed the mighty low-profile bed rack upon the world! Prepare yourselves for the ultimate combination of style and functionality, as our Tonneau or Universal low profile bed racks are now available for your truck. Don't miss out on this epic opportunity to elevate your ride to new heights (or should we say lows?).

Absolutely! It's like having two party crashers fighting for the same spot on the dance floor - the rack and case both want to be attached to the d-pillar, causing quite a hilarious tango of confusion.

No worries! Our rack is like a chameleon, ready to blend in with any sprayed in bed liner. So go ahead and spray away, your liner won't be causing any trouble here!

Looks like the Jeep Gladiator is getting fancy with its own exclusive Trail Rail System! If you want to show off your rack-mounting skills, you better grab one of these bad boys. Don't worry, we've got 'em right here for you.

Unfortunately, no. The L shaped bracket seems to have a love-hate relationship with our rails - they just can't seem to get along!

Absolutely! The Go Fast RTT is like the perfect match for the Active Cargo System, they're practically soulmates. Just remember, you'll need to use their hardware to make it all work smoothly. But hey, love always comes with a few conditions, right?

Yes, the Alu-Cab rooftop tent and the ACS are like a match made in camping heaven. Just make sure to grab their brackets and our "Classic Bolt Kit" from our parts shop, and you'll be ready to take your camping game to new heights.

Introducing the ACS Tonneau, the superhero of truck bed storage solutions! Based on our industry leading ACS Forged design, this bad boy is a complete bolt on design with no drilling required. It's like a dream come true for all the lazy DIYers out there! And guess what? It even integrates with a selected few retractable tonneau covers, because who doesn't love good teamwork? Say goodbye to limited storage capacity and hello to the ultimate locked storage solution for your truck. Your truck bed will thank you for this upgrade!

Engineered to seamlessly work with retractable tonneau covers that have a mounting t-slot, it's like a match made in truck heaven. We're talking about the Retrax EQ, Retrax One XR, Retrax Pro XR, and Pace Edwards Ultragroove Electric & Explorer series - they all bow down to the mighty ACS Tonneau. And for our beloved Jeep Gladiators, fear not! The EGR Rolltrac is here to save the day as the only compatible tonneau cover for the Gladiator. It's a tonneau cover adventure like no other!

Well, let's just say it can handle a hefty 181kg on the road and a whopping 363kg when it's not going anywhere. But hey, when it comes to off-roading, we can't guarantee anything because that's where things get a little too wild for us to handle!

Well, we don't have a magical teleportation device to instantly deliver tonneau covers to your doorstep. We're just here to provide you with awesome bed rack compatibility. If you want to know about the tonneau cover itself, you better give Retrax or EGR a call.

Nope, the rear load bar doesn't slide like in the ACS Forged. Why? Well, it turns out the tonneau cover is a bit of a diva and insists on closing all the way against the tailgate. So, we had to bid farewell to those fancy rear support arms that made sliding load bars possible. They're off having their own adventure now, probably sipping margaritas on a tropical beach somewhere.

Sure, you can upgrade your ACS forged to an ACS Tonneau! It's like giving your truck a stylish makeover - just make sure to invite us to the unveiling party! And don't worry, our conversion kit comes with all the necessary hardware, so you won't have to raid your toolbox or bribe your neighbor for extra screws.

Absolutely! The ACS Tonneau is like a fashion-forward chameleon that can effortlessly rock any accessory from Leitner. It's the perfect match made in accessory heaven, ensuring that your truck will always be the envy of the road.

If you go the manual route with the Retrax, just be prepared for a showdown between the release lever and the gear pods on the driver's side. It's like a tonneau cover wrestling match. We highly recommend going with the Pro XR to avoid any unnecessary tonneau cover wrestling matches.

The ACS FORGED NDNS (No Drill / No Slide) is like the lazy person's dream rack - no drilling, no sliding, just bolt it on and call it a day. It's perfect for those who want to keep their Roof Top Tent or gear carriers permanently attached because let's face it, who has time for taking things on and off all the time?

Well, it turns out the ACS NDNS has a load rating that matches our standard Forged bed rack - because who needs variety when you can have consistency in load capacity? Just remember, this rack can handle more weight than your average gym bro trying to impress people with his bench press. Off-Road= 181kg | On-Road =363kg | Static Load = 635kg

Sorry, but if you want a sliding load bar on the NDNS bed rack, you're out of luck. You'll need to stick with the standard Forged rack if you want that feature. Otherwise, your gear will just have to stay put!

Absolutely! You can transform your ACS NDNS into a Tonneau rack or a standard Forged rack with ease. So go ahead and switch it up, whether you're feeling fancy with a tonneau cover or just want to keep things classic with a sliding load bar - the choice is yours!

Load Capacity - Over Cab: See Your Vehicle Manufacturers Rating

Load Capacity - Over Forged: 181kg Off-Road | 363kg On-Road | 635kg Static

Load Capacity - Over Forged Tonneau: 181kg On-Road | 363kg Static | Because the rack is secured to the truck by the mounting hardware of the tonneau, we cannot recommend a safe off-road weight limit.

Load Capacity - Over ACS Classic: 113kg Off-Road | 226kg On-Road | 454kg Static

Load Capacity - Over Truck Bed Universal: 113kg Off-Road | 226kg On-Road | 454kg Static

Absolutely! Our roof rack is like a matchmaker for awnings - it has a special bracket that fits most awnings on the market. It's like the Cupid of roof racks! And if your awning already comes with its own brackets, no worries! We've got a bolt kit that can make them compatible with our rack. We're all about bringing awnings and racks together in perfect harmony.

Nope, not at all! Believe it or not, this rack is like a superhero with its secret weapon - sixteen mighty 6mm screws that hold the bracket to the vehicle. These screws are no joke, they bear the entire weight without any "foot" to transfer the load down. It's like having a roof rack that defies gravity!

The 3/4 platform, full-length platform, and load bar kits for the Ineos only add 50mm of height to your vehicle—so don’t worry, your car won’t suddenly start eyeing the top shelf at the grocery store. It’s just enough to give you a bit more cargo space without making your vehicle feel like it’s auditioning for a role in a monster truck rally!

Sure, you could go through the hassle of removing the platform, mounting the tent, and then putting everything back together. But why not take the easy route and just use the Load Bar Kit designed for the Ineos? It's like a cheat code for roof top tents going on your Ineos.

Due to overwhelming demand for our platform rack and load bar kits, we are currently operating on a "buy the whole kit and caboodle" basis. We're like the cool kids in high school - exclusive and in high demand. If you want to be part of the in-crowd, shoot us an email at sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au and we'll add you to our VIP list for when we start selling individual components. Just don't hold your breath - we move at our own pace, like a sloth on roller skates.

This rack is like the Hulk of off-road equipment - it can handle 113kg off-road, 226kg on-road, and a whopping 454kg when standing still. Just make sure to evenly distribute the weight, unless you want to see some serious drama unfold!

Sure thing! Your 3/4 platform comes with 5 Load Bars. But if you want to go full-on flatness mode, you can add up to 9x more without taking it apart, or a whopping 11x more if you're feeling extra ambitious. Just grab some Extra Load Bars and watch that platform transform into a sleek, smooth surface in no time!

Absolutely! Upgrading from a 3/4 Platform to a Full-Length Platform is as easy as pie—except instead of pie, you’re getting more platform! Just drop us an email at sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au, and we'll help you make the jump from “Hey, this is nice” to “Wow, look at me now!”

Most lights these days, like those from Baja Designs, come with their own fancy bracket. Just grab the bracket from your lights, get our Traklok Bolt Kit, and fasten them to any t-slot on your platform rack. It’s like giving your lights their own VIP pass to the rack party—just don’t be surprised if they start showing off!

Sure thing! The Active Cargo System is like the popular kid in school who gets along with everyone. It's compatible with Yakima, Thule, Rhino Rack, and pretty much any other brand you can think of. Just make sure your accessory can handle our 50mm square load bar, because we don't want any clamps feeling left out and unable to join the party!

Fear not, dear friend! The solution lies in the magical elixir known as Bike Lubricant with Teflon. Just a few drops of this enchanting potion inside the lock, and voila! Your key will be freed from its theatrical aspirations.

Looks like your Gearpods locking core has decided to take a winter vacation in the frozen tundra! No worries, we've got just the solution for you. Grab yourself some "Lock De-Icer" - it's like a tropical getaway for your gear! You can find these magical bottles at your friendly neighbourhood hardware store or simply summon them from the digital realm. They're conveniently sized to fit in your pocket, so you can be prepared for any icy adventures that come your way!

We've put our gear pods through some serious tests, like having them survive a water balloon fight with a mischievous octopus. While we can't promise they'll withstand a hurricane or a dip in the Mariana Trench, they're pretty darn good at keeping your stuff dry in everyday adventures.

Unfortunately, we can't promise that your Gearpods will come out of the box with a secret synchronized dance routine. However, if you desperately want them to be keyed alike, just slip us a note before check out or send an email to sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au with your request. We'll see what we can do to make your Gearpods feel like they're part of the same exclusive club.

Unfortunately, our gear pods are quite the divas and will only tolerate our ACS rack. They simply refuse to associate with any other rack, no matter how charming it may be. And just a heads up, if you dare to modify our gear pods, they'll throw a warranty tantrum like you've never seen before. So, let's keep them happy and avoid any rack drama, shall we?

Need help figuring out how to mount those Rotopax cans to the universal mount plate? Well, it's like solving a puzzle - on the front side, just give it a vertical hug with the locking mechanism. But wait, on the back side, it's all about giving it a horizontal high-five for a perfect fit. It's like teaching those cans some fancy dance moves!

Nope, sorry. We've decided to retire those nuts and give them a well-deserved break. But fear not! You might find them living their best retired life on eBay or Amazon. Just search for the elusive M8X1.25 T-GROOVE TAMPER PROOF SECURITY NUT and see if you can crack the case of their whereabouts!

Looking to take your adventure to new heights? Look no further than our ACS Roof Rack, the ultimate companion for all your rooftop needs. But hey, we get it - sometimes you're already committed to another rack. In that case, we recommend checking out the Rhino Rack, Front Runner, or Prinsue (just make sure it's one of their compatible models, or else it might be a real "roof" awakening!).

While we have seen others attempt this daring feat, we must warn against it. Unfortunately, the universal mounting plates were not designed to accommodate the mighty MAXTRAX pins. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but with even more disappointment. Plus, the length of the mounting studs will make it impossible to have a ROTOPAX on the other side. So, unless you enjoy defying logic and frustrating yourself, we highly recommend sticking to our trusty standard MAXTRAX mounts or our Gear pod XL MAXTRAX mounts. Happy off-roading adventures!

This bad boy is rocking a M8 by 1.25 thread size. And don't even get me started on its head! It's a whopping 20MM x 20MM, making it the envy of all other bolts out there. Trust me, this T-Bolt is not just any ordinary bolt, it's got some serious swagger in the dimension department!

Enough to make a goldfish feel like a whale! The HydroPOD can hold up to 18L of water.

Absolutely! The HydroPOD is not just any ordinary container, it's made from virgin food grade polyethylene, ensuring that your water feels like it's on a luxurious vacation. And guess what? It's so food safe that even picky eaters would give it a five-star rating. Plus, the HydroPOD is BPA Free, because who needs those extra letters in their life anyway? So go ahead and hydrate with confidence, because this potable powerhouse has got your back!

It's like 6m long, which means you can practically water your neighbour's garden while washing your car! And hey, in case of a zombie apocalypse, you can even use it to put out fires on those ridiculously long trucks!

Well, let's just say it'll be heavy enough to make your biceps jealous and your friends question your life choices. But hey, who needs a gym membership when you can have a portable water-filled workout buddy? A full HydroPOD will weigh around 20kg.

Absolutely not! The HydroPOD is like a water connoisseur, it only accepts the finest H2O. So, sorry, no room for your secret stash of unicorn tears or liquid gold.

Well, if you find yourself in freezing temperatures, be prepared for your HydroPOD to turn into a fancy ice sculpture! To avoid this chilly situation, we kindly suggest emptying the HydroPOD before embarking on any freezing adventures. And hey, don't underestimate the power of the sun! If you leave your HydroPOD basking in its rays for too long, you might just end up with a hot tub on wheels. So remember, when it comes to temperature extremes, let's keep our HydroPOD’s as cool as cucumbers or as warm as cozy blankets – anything but frozen or boiling!

Absolutely! It's like having a tiny superhero perched on top, ready to save the day by releasing any excess pressure. Just imagine a little valve wearing a cape, swooping in to keep things under control.

Well, we understand that losing keys can be a real "key-strophe"! Unfortunately, our key combinations are as mysterious as a magician's tricks. So, unless we have your Gearpod at our shop to perform some key voodoo, we'll need to sell you brand new lock assemblies. Don't worry, though! Just shoot us an email at sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au and we'll make sure you're back in the unlocking business in no time!

Sure, you can mount the Gearpod Roof to another roof rack! It's like giving your car a stylish hat that matches perfectly with its outfit. Just make sure to choose a compatible rack, otherwise, your car might end up looking like it's wearing socks with sandals - not a good look for any vehicle! The GearPOD Roof has been tested to be compatible with Prinsu, Rhino Rack, Front Runner, Sherpa, and other racks that use a t-slot design load bar.

Installation instructions are available throughout our website and on the relevant product pages. If you can’t find the instructions you need, contact us at sales@leitnerdesigns.com.au and we’ll send them through.

Most Active Cargo System installations require only basic hand tools. A 13 mm deep socket is commonly required, along with T30 and T40 Torx tools. We recommend using socket-style Torx bits where possible to make installation faster and easier.

Always refer to the installation instructions for your specific vehicle and rack configuration before getting started.

Most Leitner rack applications do not require drilling. Some vehicle-specific installations may require additional mounting holes or threaded inserts, depending on the vehicle and rack configuration.

Where drilling is required, the necessary installation hardware and instructions are supplied. Selected ACS FORGED applications also offer no-drill mounting solutions. Check the relevant product page or contact us if you’re unsure about your vehicle.

Yes. Installation is available at our Brisbane warehouse by appointment.
