Traction Boards and elastic strap

[khildebr]

Buy once, cry once. Finally got them mounted in an out of the way spot with the Builtright bulkhead bar.

You're the hero from Facebook who gave me the links to all of this. Was able to finally get my boards mounted nicely. Thank you!

So who’s mounting brackets are you attaching to the bulkhead bar? Appear to be a few options out there with both flat and stand off options.

After reading the description on Tasca, I need to check to see if the truck already has one.

they’re not a default, they’re an add on and IIRC, there is a different p/n for some of the Jen Too years.

I went with Axia alloys. They are made specifically for the maxtrax pins

And the mounting holes line up perfectly with the bulkhead mount spacing. Just need to source some 1/4-20 1/2” socket allen bolts (stainless). It would actually help if they were slightly shorter but all I could get.

Yeah that was a big question that the owner of Builtright answered for me. He said the 6mm Axia screws were super close to the 1/4-20, so I tried it and it worked pretty dam good. If I found the right size 1/4-20 I’d definitely go with them. But so far so good

Good to know. I ended up just tightening the screw so it embedded into the bulkhead rail. Not ideal but doesn’t hurt anything. It’s probably less than a 1/16”. There’s no room for a washer in the countersunk hole on the axia.

I also added some 3/4” spacers on the backside so the bulkhead would have support and not bend forward when transporting motorcycles. Pretty sure it would bend without it, the bed rail bends on some trucks from the bikes.

Thanks guys. Orders placed from Builtright, Axia and CaliRaised. The Builtright Molle panels will have to wait a little while. Extraction capability over cargo convenience.

back on topic a little. i have a kinetic energy rope from freedom ropes. they are based out of the pismo area. they founded the group jerk pirates, which is a group of people who go out to the dunes and rescue people for free instead of paying $500 or more for a tow truck. several videos of them getting tourists (and even locals, like myself) getting them unburied and back to having fun. lea is awesome. i have their 110k rope. i prefer to support a local business and one that demonstrates their stuff on a daily basis. i used my rope to pull out a schoolbus full of kids out of the snow one winter. and then 1.5 hears ago pulled out a semi truck blocking an intersection during the big snowstorm here in colorado where we got 2ft of snow one night.

the jerk pirates group are on facepage as well as have a vhf channel. if you get stuck, reach out and they will come rescue you. they are awesome people.

I have MaxTrax and finally got to use them. And they worked. Only problem was it was in my backyard of my home.

Hey, nothing wrong with that. In fact, having a backyard off-roading area is a feature, not a bug. I know .
