I don't see any specs on the spacing between mounting holes, however, they look very similar to ARB and MaxTrax so I believe they'll fit fine.

Here's the specs the board mounts support - "The bracket supports board hole widths at either 4.2" or 10.63" and board hole lengths between 34" and 41""
Awesome. Ordering now!

I just decided I need this to mount fishing poles and stash recovery gear - but, then I realized - mine is an early 2021 that doesn’t have the threaded mount points on the D-pillar. I’m assuming drilling through that boron steel is more difficult than it’s worth…

I’ve seen a few people that were drilling through the roll bar to install the nutserts so I’d say it’s definitely doable. I’ll have to get some measurements for placement and share that. I’ll also see if I can find the forum thread where they were discussing it.

Thanks! A search was my next order of business. Any info you can share is much appreciated.

Latest upgrade to the rig. Thanks @UtahBrandon for help.

Question - does anyone know if these ARB boards from Ford will fit with the attic tray?

I don't have those boards or the attic shelf so I don't definitively know but I think they will be .5-.75" too wide.

Attic shelf specs says it's 44.5" wide, my traction boards (the other ones available from Ford Performance) are speced at 45". The ones you linked are 45.67"

You can see how mine go edge to the without the attic tray

I think you're right. Sounds like I'll be breaking out the hack saw!

That looks amazing and I love to see it!!

Those boards look to be 45.67 inches long which is a bit too wide to fit underneath the Attic Tray. Tred GT boards fit perfectly. Basically, if it fits between the rollbars, it will fit underneath the attic tray.
Appreciate the quick response! Since it just barely fits in there and I've thrown away the packing materials to return what I've got, I'll just trim them down.

@UtahBrandon enjoy your time at the salt flats! Send pictures!

A little effort with the dremel tool this morning and the Ford Performance boards are in! Had to cut off the v-shaped "shovel" off the end.

For those who plan to use the larger ARB boards and want to know where to cut, here's the result of trimming down to 44.5." You lose the "shovel" but I really never imagined using these heavy/cumbersome boards as a shovel to begin with.

Lastly, for those who are curious about visibility out of the rear window, here's two pictures. Not bad at all.
