Influencer II
Was not super excited to spend $40-60 on a single set of Maxtrax or equivalent traction board mounts, so I went to my local Home Depot and CramAzon and gathered the ingredients to do these on the cheap. Total cost is roughly < $20 for 2 mounts. My mats when stacked are exactly 3 3/4" at the mounting holes. MIght have been able to get away with a 5" bolt, but now I have room for error.
Parts needed:
2 Clamps - Nilight 2pcs Light Bar Clamps :
2 - 5/16" x 5 1/2" course thread full thread bolts
2 - 5/16" course thread nuts
2 - 3/4" washers
4 - 1/2" washers
1 Package Arnold Handle Bolts, Home Depot in the garden section. Replacement lawn mower/pull mower handle kit. Includes the 5/16" nylock nut
Clamp on the horizontal bars of your roof rack, slide boards on, add washer to protruding bolt, tighten the T handle (handle has nylon lock nuts), done. I put them on opposite corners of the mats and it is sturdy enough that you don't need four of them.
One beer install, but I had a 2nd just in case.
