Description
Tuck your gear in for a sleeker, snag-free profile. The XTR Recessed Side Brace Brackets let you set your side brace further into your rack, giving your whole setup a cleaner, lower-profile look. They’re ideal for cases and bulky gear mounted to your side brace — recessing the brace pulls your gear inboard so it stops sticking out and getting hung up on the trail. A smart structural upgrade in our bed rack accessories line for anyone running cases, panels, or wide gear.
The kit replaces the end joints on your side brace, so it integrates cleanly into your existing rack — no awkward add-ons. Pair it with The Mounting Company’s Quick Release Mounts for the ultimate quick-on, quick-off case setup.
