Traction Board Mounting in-bed

Its winter here and I have a set of Max Traxs that I needed a good mount for so I started a project to mount them in the bed of the truck (Stealthish). I ended up realizing that the long beds have plenty of room for a front bed mount and this is what I've ended up with so far.

I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death but I felt like this may help someone looking to build their own.

 

Yes it works...don’t know how necessary the unistrut? Is...

 

I wanted to make sure the dirt bikes I carry would have more support than just the top two nuts holding the traction boards and it keeps the boards from flapping.

 

Looks like this is a pretty old post but thought I’d see if I can get some info from you. My wife gave me some Maxtrax pins for Christmas and I’m looking to mount my boards along the bedrails in my Taco. Did you machine those T nuts? I’m looking for something just like that but with the thread to match the Maxtrax pins. I have a short bed so I’m looking to make something like this pic I found in another post. Unfortunately the T nuts used in the other post are no longer available.

 

I did machine them.

 

Nice job! Any chance you’d be interested in making a set that will accept the Maxtrax pins?

I use them and they work great.

 

Thanks for the reco, I saw these and they do look like they do a great job but I already have the bed rail installed. Plus my wife gave me the mounting pins for Christmas, so I’m trying to use them.

 

That’s mine! Check out your other post, I updated it for the t nuts from Amazon.

 

How much?

 

I don't have the MaxTrax pins or anything to go off of, send me a link to the one you guys are using?

 

I mounted mine the other day

 

The pins are M10-1.5. They have 40mm of thread so I’ll need to cut them down.
Here is a link to them if you want to get an idea of what they look like. https://maxtraxus.com/products/maxtrax-mkii-mounting-pins

I was able to find these t-slot nuts that I’m thinking of trying. Just wish they were stainless or aluminum.

I dream of having a shop to fabricate brackets! You have skills!

 

I bear the scars of many failures but the knowledge that comes with them!

 

I'm not sure what you are asking, I wasn't selling anything.

 

Oh darn. Let me know if you change your mind!
