    Ok. I get it now. I didn’t realize there were bolts that fit into c channels. They look perfectly smooth and flat like they wouldn’t hold anything inside them. Thank you!

    I got these same xbull tracks when they were on sale at Amazon. Ended up with mounts that basically copied you:

    I need a way to mount my action traxx directly to Yakima cross bars. I saw someone do this by drilling through the bars but I do not want to do that. Any ideas or examples out there? Thanks!

    Installed Maxtrax mount made by forum member @supralee. It's a really simple and good looking solution. The Maxtrax fit really snug. I'll report back after some offroad trips.

    I can’t believe someone hasn’t 3D printed some sort of attachment to mount to the existing 2 available holes in the front of the bed dead center. I feel like there could be a bracket that would hang down and span side to side with pins to lock into the existing Maxtrac holes. I have a 3 D printer I just don’t know how to use it. Haha

    That looks great, are the Maxtrax snug when hitting bumps? Also are they fairly secure for anti theft?

    Very snug. I haven't tested them offroad yet but I think they will do the job. They are not anti theft. I have a BAKflip tonneau cover so for me it's not an issue.

    I ordered one. Hope it’s nice and tight. I’ll only put them in the clamp when I’m out playing otherwise I’ll remove the boards so theft is not an issue.

    Here is what I came up with this afternoon. Not many idea for putting boards across bars. Need to add a lock of some sorts but this is solid. Can shake the truck when I test their strength.

    The feet are this rubber bumper from mcmaster: https://www.mcmaster.com/9540k36 I was buying other supplies from mcmaster, so I bought these there too, but had to buy a 10-pack.

    Well I’m a knucklehead, I bought that same mount but realize that my knock off traction boards don’t have the center attachment point just one on either end not three of them

    3rd gens don’t have the front rail. I took the one off my 2nd gen before I sold it.

    But you can find them at online Toyota parts dealers or Amazon. The 2nd gen part bolts right up to our trucks.
