Along both sides of the Ascend Rack, built-in, fully adjustable accessory panels provide configurable, easily accessible mounting locations for traction boards, hi-lift jacks, pioneering tools, and fuel packs, keeping you outfitted, organized, and prepared for every adventure. An integrated high-mount stop light comes pre-installed and ready to wire in, ensuring your rig stays highly visible—even with a fully loaded rack.
