Hardshell Crossbars: Carry more gear. Infinite mounting options.
Perfect for: Aspen Pro / Evolution owners • reclaiming your roof storage on SUVs • carrying extra gear without sacrificing interior vehicle storage • traction boards, rotopax, storage boxes, solar panels, surfboards, etc
A hard shell rooftop tent is the only vehicle-mounted platform that gives you flat, elevated cargo space on top of a sleeping system. The crossbars make that space usable. Sliding into the T-slot tracks built into every Odyssey, Evolution, and Aspen series tent, they give you two anchor points for straps, mounts, and accessories — without drilling, without extra hardware beyond what's included. One owner runs a top box for family trips. Another runs an extension ladder and a kayak for work and play. The bars handle it.
Features:
Integrates with existing T-slot tracks Every Odyssey, Evolution, and Aspen Pro series tent has T-slot channels built into the frame. The crossbars drop straight in — no modification, no separate mounting hardware required beyond the included kit. Installation is straightforward: "strong, sturdy, easy to install."
Black powder-coated steel Built for load, not aesthetics. The powder coat keeps them looking clean between trips without any maintenance beyond a wipe-down.
Universal mounting slots on top The slots running the length of each bar accept standard mounting hardware for virtually any overlanding accessory — traction boards, Rotopax, storage boxes, solar panels, bike mounts, cargo nets, and more. If it has a standard mount, it attaches.
Two size options Standard and XL tent models. Measure your tent before ordering — the crossbars are sized to match the tent width exactly. Sold in pairs. Check specs below.

If running gear while the tent is open: heavy loads on top while deployed will add resistance to the gas struts and wear them out quickly. We recommend removing heavy gear when opening your tent to avoid this.
