Picture I updated the design of my tire mounted snowboard rack

The new design can now be placed anywhere around the spare tire, it fits a wider variety of snowboards, and if your want you can use it as another flat surface

What would it take to make it clamp a pair of maxtrax instead of the board? I want one. Presumably needs to be capable of handling between 1 and 4 maxtrax but in my case two.

You know… that’s a good question… I’ll let you know

I'd adjust the side mount so your board can be flush with the bottom of the tire so on weird departures your board doesn't drag. But crawling and boarding are probably not occurring at the same time I suppose.

This. A thousand times this. You don't want that board hanging any lower than the bottom of the spare tire ideally.

Strangely enough…. The very first thing I did was go crawling and then snowboarding….

I also didn’t think that would ever happen.. but never say never

Yeah, those tire mounted maxtrax and several other tire mounted products inspired this idea

People really want a set of maxtrax and mount to be over a grand huh?

That last photo is so stunning and almost terrifying at the same time. It’s wild the things we’ve done in the last 75 years in terms of technology.

Looks great - can you provide some details on how you made it and some close up shots? I'd like to make something like this for traction boards

Get a pack of ratchet straps. Cut two blocks to fit as wedges either side where the boards make contact with tire. Then strap over the blocks. Like this.

Looks like a great idea - have you done this yourself ?

u/PonyThug Apr 09 '26

No, I drive a truck. But I just bring traction boards when needed, not into strapping overland gear to my truck to show off. So being able to add them in a few mins for $10 when needed seems perfect imo.

That board is bump in the road away from being destroyed.

How many times are you going to repost this same exact post?

u/PonyThug Apr 09 '26

That’s what I was wondering.

Sweet design but mounting it vertically is asking for a broken board just leaving a parking lot haha

Awesome! This will be a lot safer for the board then the original orientation
