Santa Wife was great to me this year...can you say traction boards ;) Now the question is how to mount them? What have you done on your rigs...More specifically Jeep Wranglers or mounts on the spair tire/tailgate area. TIA

I did something similar, with 1/4-20 threaded rod through my roof rack cross bars and plastic knobs from the local Ace Hardware to secure the boards down. I used a spare gun cable lock threaded through the four boards for modest security.Not tire carrier, but maybe some food for thought. Custom board mounts secured to rack crossbars. Board mounts are made from stainless all-thread welded to plates. Knobs tightened down on boards to secure them. All-threads long enough for stack of up to 4 boards. Then a simple padlock at top of all-threads to keep honest people honest, not a serious theft deterrent for true misfits. one mount at each end of boards, and 1 knob on each mount even though pic shows both on one single mount. Overall much cheaper than purchased options, though slower to remove boards as have to unscrew knobs.

Went I didn't have a rack, I re-used some old yakima ski rack mounts with stock crossbars.Santa Wife was great to me this year...can you say traction boards ;) Now the question is how to mount them?

1/2”-13 as that is largest would easily fit through holes in my particular boards. I wanted to use largest bolt I could for sturdiness. And length will vary depending on your boards and number of them.nice. What size bolts?
I need to make some for my half bed rack.

Thanks, I two different types of boards (2each), one set came with buying my Ironman suspension, so I will only mount 2 on the side until I can get 2 more of the same. But I also hope I will also use this for mounting my axe, shovel on the other side.1/2”-13 as that is largest would easily fit through holes in my particular boards.
