OZK Customs + Aluminess Rear Door Base Rack

We know – we offer a lot of exterior storage options for your camper van here at OZK Customs! But, that cargo capacity can make the difference in planning trips with all the gear you need for your adventure. As with any set of modifications, you have to start somewhere with your exterior mods as well. The Aluminess Rear Door Base Rack can be a foundational building block of your van’s exterior storage capacity. It is compatible with the Explorer Storage Box, BackPack plate, Aluminess’s horizontal or vertical bike racks, and even more, making it an incredibly functional and versatile starting point to your adventure van rear door upfit.

Made of all aluminum and powder-coated, this is a hard-wearing and rust-free component that bolts on to your Sprinter or Transit van’s rear door. The included limiting straps mean that the rack can be mounted even on 270-degree hinges, and the strap will keep the rack from swinging back into the side of your van. This means no labor associated with swapping hinges or rehanging your rear door after a hinge swap. Because the Aluminess Base Rack bolts on, it requires no drilling through your van door and potentially creating a place for possible rust ingress.

With an impressive weight capacity of 200 lbs., this base rack includes 8” support posts to mount one of the Aluminess storage boxes and offers an impressively wide variety of storage configurations. It is compatible with both low roof and high roof vans and will not interfere with backup sensors. The Sprinter Base Rack is compatible with 2019-2023 Sprinters, as well as Revel and Storyteller vans. The Transit Base Rack shares all the features of the Sprinter rack and is compatible with any 2015+ Ford Transit Van.

Sometimes you just need a blank page to start – and this Aluminess Rear Door Base Rack for Sprinter and Transit camper vans is the perfect blank page to begin your exterior storage and cargo arrangements. This is a rugged, versatile, and practical all-in-one foundational storage solution that will keep your gear organized and secure, and get you on the road to a fully outfitted adventure.
