Learn how to install ROAM Rigid Mounts on your 95L Rugged Case, including diagnosis of common issues and step-by-step corrective actions.
Quick answer
ROAM 95L Rigid Mounts bolt directly into the tie-down channels of your 95L Rugged Case, but you must supply your own 1/4" hardware and verify your roof rack or mounting surface has compatible slots.
Why rigid mounts instead of straps
Straps can loosen on rough trails and shift your case. The 95L Rigid Mounts lock the case in place with a hard connection, which is more reliable for off-road or overlanding use. The trade-off is that you lose the ability to quickly remove the case without unbolting it.
What you need to know about hardware
The mounts are .188 black powder-coated steel with 1/4" holes, but mounting hardware is not included. You will need four 1/4" bolts, washers, and nuts (typically stainless steel to avoid corrosion). Choose bolts long enough to pass through your rack's mounting points plus the mount thickness.
Diagnosis and corrective steps
- Symptom: The mount does not fit into the tie-down channel of your 95L Rugged Case.
- Likely cause: The mount is oriented incorrectly or the channel has debris. The mounts are designed to slide into the channel from the end, not snap in from the top.
- Corrective action: Remove any dirt or obstructions from the channel. Insert the mount into the open end of the channel and slide it to the desired position. Ensure the 1/4" holes face outward for bolting.
- Stop or choose another option: If the mount still does not fit, your case may be a different model. The 95L Rigid Mounts are specifically for the 95L Rugged Case. Do not force the mount; it could damage the channel. Consider using universal tie-down straps instead. Check the case model number on the bottom label before proceeding.
