The Diode Dynamics x Kuat DEK Roof Rack (DD8513) is a 54 x 70-inch universal roof rack system with an integrated SS50 Pro Stage Series LED lightbar in a Dual Color (DC) Combo beam pattern. Custom-fabricated to seamlessly blend lighting directly into the rack structure, the DEK delivers a clean, OEM-style appearance that stands apart from bolt-on lighting solutions.
Adventure-Ready Construction
The DEK features a modular, low-profile design built from durable all-metal, lightweight construction. Adjustable crossbars allow clearance for antennas and sunroofs, while generous T-channels along the frame make it easy to mount cargo, gear, and accessories. The rack supports a 300 lb dynamic and 1,000 lb static weight capacity and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Stage Series SS50 Pro Integrated Lighting
This configuration includes the SS50 Stage Series LED lightbar — the larger of the two Stage Series options — for a clean, low-profile appearance on the 54 x 70-inch frame. The Pro power level steps up output and intensity beyond the Sport tier, using high-intensity automotive-grade LED emitters and TIR optics that capture and focus nearly all light output precisely where it's needed, without glare or wasted spill.
Dual Color (DC) Combo Beam Pattern
The Dual Color variant allows the lightbar to switch between white and amber output, offering versatile illumination for varied trail and weather conditions. The Combo beam pattern blends driving distance with wide foreground coverage into one balanced output — engineered for real-world off-road conditions.
Fully Illuminated Backlight
When the main beam is not in use, the SS50 lightbar's backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing distinctive accent lighting that adds style day or night.
