Matrax Mounts and locks?

[thejoking__explorer]

Im sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't seem to find anything. I will be getting maxtrax soon but I would like to mount them to either my Gobi ladder or Frontrunner roof rack. What mounts are people using and specifically are there any mounts that will allow me to lock them so only I can remove them?

I made mounts for my trailer but it utilizes the Maxtrax Locking Pins to hold the mounts. The pins have a provision for a TSA style padlock but I don't feel like that will do much so I just run a cable lock with a padlock through the handholds and around the rack. Has worked fine for many miles.

I made mounts for mine for less than $10... some steel, all threads, nylocks, rubber hose, a drill, and a cut off wheel... you can see them in my build thread:

These are the nicest mounts I have found for the maxtrax. I had to wait for a while for someone to come out with them. They are pricey but we'll worth the $.

I can still fit under my garage with these. They are very adjustable.

I use the same clamps. They work great. I went to Ace Hardware, and picked up a pair of locks

Tractor supply special, long bolts with 1/2" hex-head, 1/2" head nyloc nuts, fender washers, and wing-nuts, all on 5/16" thread--- maybe.... 5 bucks..
This has served me well for years and multiple thousands of miles upon my FrontRunner racks.

When you go to there site you will have the option to pick what type of mount. Pick Maxtrax. They are made for that purpose perfectly.

You can also contact them. Their customer service is great. I have their clamps on my Tepui. At that time he didn't have the tepui option, but he got the right one for me that fit it. They're pricey, but functional.

The track on thdd Tepui are slightly different than others I believe.

Much appreciated! Nice to hear your positive comment about their customer service. Although I would be using their mounts for Maxtraxs, I hope they can help.

Yep, I just re-read your other post. I thought you were also looking at the awning mount. The clamps are the same, it's the bracket that makes the difference.
