ARMORDILLO® CR1 Heavy Duty Roll Bar Chase Rack (For Full Size Truck)

What Is the Armordillo® CR1 Full-Size Chase Rack?

The ARMORDILLO® CR1 Heavy Duty Roll Bar Chase Rack for Full-Size Trucks is a steel off-road rack system designed to provide structural rear-cabin protection, above-bed spare tire mounting capability, and auxiliary lighting support — without sacrificing truck bed usability.

It is engineered for full-size pickup owners who require durability, balance, and cargo efficiency in demanding environments such as desert trails, overland routes, job sites, and high-speed off-road terrain.

Armored Yet Agile — built for real off-road performance.

What Problem Does the CR1 Solve for Full-Size Truck Owners?

Many roll bars and chase racks:

• Take up valuable bed space
• Interfere with cargo systems
• Add unnecessary rear weight
• Offer minimal structural reinforcement

The CR1 solves this by using an above-bed angled spare tire mounting system, allowing you to run up to a 37-inch spare tire while preserving functional cargo space.

This makes it ideal for truck owners who want off-road capability without compromising daily usability.

Why Choose the CR1 Over Other Full-Size Chase Racks?

The CR1 is constructed from 3-inch diameter premium steel tubing, engineered for strength under vibration, trail impact, and long-term environmental exposure.

Key advantages include:

Preserves Bed Space

The elevated tire carrier design maintains access to your truck bed for tools, recovery gear, job-site materials, or overland storage systems.

Heavy-Duty Structural Reinforcement

Built to handle aggressive off-road conditions, including desert terrain, rocky trails, and high-speed vibration environments.

Supports Up to 37-Inch Spare Tire

Angled mounting improves clearance and weight distribution compared to flat-mounted alternatives.

Auxiliary Lighting Integration

Four integrated light mounting tabs allow installation of off-road lighting systems for improved nighttime visibility.

Professional-Level Durability

Inspired by performance demands seen in Baja racing and extreme off-road competitions.

Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Durable black powder coat protects against rust, moisture, and harsh weather exposure.

Patent Registered Design

Unique structural engineering developed to maximize rigidity and functionality.
