Traction boards and a Jeep

[Jeep15631]

I’m looking for a setup to secure traction boards to my rear Jeep tire that allows quick access. I want to be able to use my trasharoo. The idea I have is a bag system that sits behind my trasharoo allowing the boards to slide out and in. Anyone use a traction board bag like this or have other ideas to accomplish this?

I saw those. Little pricy but might work. Any others?

Nothing but a hand held carry bag by Maxtrax. It doesn't have mounting straps. I will say that Blue Ridge overland gear produces a quality product. I have many of their internal storage systems in my Tacoma.

Vector off road makes a sweet spare tire mount carrier for gas can ( fuelpax ) I believe you can mount traction boards as well with simple hardware.

And Rotopax universal mounting plate for their cans will work for boards as well. Either a side mount on the passenger side of the spare tire or what you are looking to do, by putting it between the spare and trasharoo.

You could use the maxtrax spare mount and put the trasharoo over it. I have both but have been too lazy to put it on.

Do you have to remove the trasharoo to get to the boards?

 

[MOAK]

I have mine in front of my trash bag. And yes, the trasharoo must be removed to access the boards. I’ve been dragging them around now for 5 years and have yet to use them. Kinda like my heavy 1/2” tools, they are buried in a hatch compartment beneath everything. They’re there if I ever need them, but so far, they’ve yet to be used.. we pack things giving a high priority of practical usage in mind. If something is used often it is packed for easy access. So, you need to ask yourself, how often will I actually need to use the traction boards?

I have a set if these sand tracks......



I just havent figured out where to carry them yet on my Defender 90. I am considering cargo tracking and mounting on the drivers side of my vehicle. The passengers side has my awning

 

[elizer]

Moak has it right. The things you use the most should be readily available. And honestly when its time to use the traction boards you are already stuck whats the rush?

This discussion about storing traction boards reminds me of a guy I met camping. He was talking about the mounts he made for his traction boards and giving me a bit of grief for not carrying any. His were mounted underneath his truck! I told him I have never had to use them in decades of wheeling and I hoped he wouldn't have to either because he was never going to be able to get to them. I do a lot of sandy desert travel but I avoid mud if I can. If my junk was more stock I would carry them.
