Front Runner roof racks are characterised by a raised outer lip. This would generally interfere with the functionality of our foldable Croc Hinge brackets however we don’t want you guys to miss out. As such, we’ve developed specially designed spacers which attach to the Croc Hinge brackets, lifting them level with the lip should you want to use this method.
For one set/pair of awning brackets you’ll need four spacers. If you’re purchasing a set of three awning brackets you’ll need six spacers (i.e. 2 per individual bracket).
Included: Six UV stabilised HDPE 25mm high spacer blocks.

Front Runner roof racks often feature a distinctive raised outer lip, which is designed to help secure cargo and add functionality. However, this lip can interfere with the operation of the Croc Hinge foldable recovery and awning brackets. To resolve this issue, we created 25mm-high spacers that elevate the Croc Hinge brackets, allowing them to align seamlessly with the raised lip.
These spacers make it simple to use Croc Hinge brackets without compromising on performance or convenience. Whether you’re attaching an awning, recovery boards or other 4×4 accessories, these spacers enable the smooth folding motion of the Croc Hinge brackets on Front Runner roof racks.
Each set contains six UV-stabilised HDPE spacer blocks, designed to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions. These blocks resist wear and damage from Australia’s harsh weather, ensuring long-lasting reliability for all your off-road adventures.
We specifically design Croc Hinge spacers to integrate perfectly with Front Runner roof racks. Designed for 4WD enthusiasts, these spacers help you overcome compatibility challenges without compromising on quality or usability.
At Croc Hinge, we focus on creating innovative and practical solutions for mounting 4×4 accessories. From recovery board brackets to awning mounts, we deliver products that are durable, reliable, and versatile. We build our products to meet the demands of off-road enthusiasts.

Laying your awning flat on the rack can potentially* lower your vehicle's profile, helping you clear carparks, garages and low overhangs.
Branches, banks and tight terrain can damage exposed gear. Folding flat keeps your awning and boards safe from snags.
All you need is a spanner. Seriously. No drilling, no hassle.

Hi a big shout out to Croc Hinge for a fantastic product that has solved my problem with getting my awning up higher by using the black spacers, it allowed the height I needed to get the clearance above the bat wing doors when it is opened on the canopy without hitting the support rails of the awning, and folding the awning back down onto the roof top so it doesn’t sit to high for travelling.
The service provided by the owner/inventor of this product was outstanding above and beyond when all the other experts in the industry that I asked for help said it wasn’t possible, well they were wrong. Would recommend this product to anyone.
