Maxtrax mounting options with a soft top Bronco

[Bird Dog Off Road]

I've only seen one viable option so far with the American Adventure Lab, but it's a little bulky if all you're wanting to do is go off-roading with your traction boards.

Anyone have a different product or idea they are using or planning to use?

A friend of mine gave me his old rockslide Engineering EZ rack set up, as I didn't want to put mine on the roof, I'm getting a 2dr. I found a roof rack mount by Racksbrax on Amazon. I'm going to try and marry the 2 together so i can mount the boards vertically on the side of the spare.

These mounting plates are made for Maxtrax and pins that MaxTrax sells.

This is what I am going with. Currently backordered though.

I have the EZ Rack system now. I guess with this from BA Tents, you could have the boards oposite of 1 RotoPax. Or maybe have a rotopax on each side of the spare, and the Boards mount on top of the spare? All 3 could use the EZ Rack strap.

I haven't seen one in person or the EZ Rack but if you can slide either of them around the strap I wouldn't think it would be an issue to get them all on one strap.

Here is my current setup with the EZ Rack.

My wife asked the same thing last weekend when we were out in the mountain snow and I realized that I left the matrix attached to the camper sitting in the garage. But hey, I at least had all the other recovery gear with me lol.

Thanks for the visual.

This seems like a flexible, reasonably priced solution. Especially since it seems like it would be easy enough to mount it when going off-road and unmount it when not.

Would you feel comfortable positioning them vertically and mounting a hi-lift jack on one side and a set of max traxs on the other? As far as them sliding around?

Adding a 30lb jack plus whatever the mount and the Trax weigh on top of the weight of the spare is asking a lot of those factory hinges, IMO.

Yeah that would work. Trust me, they don't slide around at all.

Hmmm.

2 x 2.5 Gal Rotopax with gasoline are 31 lbs = 1 Hi-Lift Jack

The mount weighs about 4 lbs?

Max Trax MK II are 17 lbs

And this would be mounted only when off-roading. I'm not an "overland" (or camping as old people like me call it) kind of guy so I don't think I'd be opening and closing the tailgate a ton while this was mounted.

But I think you make a fair point

someone has to find out i am betting the max trax have issues clearing the center tail light. personally I'd be fine having maxtrax on one side and a single fuel can on the other.
