    That is what you need, except for the screws. There are five and you reuse the ones that already mount the header rail. Extras are never a bad thing though.

    The end cap prices are stupid. I skipped them for that reason. About the only place they make sense to me is on the aft end of the side rails so that you don't gash yourself.

    A small tip. Remove the header rail and pull the foam tape off of the bottom. Use a some silicone sealant instead. This will help level out the height mismatch a little bit.

    Do you sell these? does it lock them in place so they cannot move easily?

    @tedsm556 yes I do design and sell these. Unfortunately, they're made of plastic and wouldn't be able to secure the Maxtraxs from anyone who really wanted to steal them. I designed them to work with my OEM Tonneau cover which is lockable. You're better off going with what @Captqc posted above.

    @shaggy135 I've actually designed one to hold 4 MaxTraxs but I don't have 4 Maxtraxs in order to test it. I could send it to you for free to test if you can provide me with some feedback :) PM me if you're interested. Thanks

    I have a lockable diamondback cover so I’m not too concerned there... I more so was interested in if it will hold them securely in place.

    Got my test bracket from @supralee the other day. Finally got it mounted yesterday. Looks good and the 4 Maxtrax boards fit perfectly. Nice and snug under the OEM bed cover. Now I need to drive around and see how it does.

    Bracket installed.

    One board mounted.

    All four boards mounted.

    Another angle.

    All four mounted under the OEM bed cover.

    Hey supralee. I'm interested in these also. I would use them under a tonneau cover. How secure do they hold the maxtrax? I'm concerned with them falling out of the bracket doing high speeds in the desert. I only have two maxtrax. I'm assuming you have a bracket made for a set of two? Thanks.

    Hello @JVL1985 , yep I've made them for 2x and 4x Maxtraxs. So far I've only been rock crawling with them and road driving and haven't had any issues. As for desert racing I wouldn't know but I assume they would be secure. The Maxtraxs stack on each other, and the first Maxtrax is actually held under the bed lip. Because they stack the Maxtrax has to be angled upwards to install and remove from the mount. @shaggy135 is actually testing the 4x mount maybe a little harsher than I am so he may have something to mention about the mount during desert racing.

    So far they've stayed in place. With work and everything basic, I've driven about 600 miles and they haven't moved yet. I don't do any high speed offroading but I will be testing how they sit this weekend when I go off the payment. I'll keep you posted.
