Maxtrax mounting on stock 2017 rack?
So my sweetheart ponies up big and got me a set of Orange Maxtrax boards! I am looking for a good way to mount them on the stock roof rack of a 2017 SR5. Any input much appreciated and Merry Christmas to everyone out there!

Looking at the same thing. Just drill holes through the crossbars, and use the maxtrax locking pins.

Zip ties can work loose. Zip ties can be cut against any rough edge releasing unsecured cargo. Where I live unsecured cargo is a big penalty. My work strictly forbids zip tie for tie downs. Leather straps with metal buckles are ok. We had numerous techs that had zip ties fail. The large , wide buckle zip ties failed. Strong zip ties will stretch too.

I just did this a week ago. I kept the crossbars on the truck so I didn't have to deal with keeping them still. Put the Maxtrax up there and mark the hole locations, put a .5" thick piece of wood under the cross bars, and drill through with a 3/8" bit. You will have to watch the angle in which you're drilling since the cross bars are curved, as it may end up being somewhat difficult to place the boards on the pins if they aren't close to parallel.

You will also have to remove the little rubber inserts toward the back ends of the roof rails. They'll just pop out with a screwdriver.

Can you post up some pics? What rubber tabs are you referring to? I don’t see them on my rails.

Alrighty then... You do you with your whole “drill through the f-ing crossbars” thing. Looks superb, bro. If you need a lock, stick a padlock through the hole in the bolt. I’ve never had a need to lock my boards up because I wheel in the middle of nowhere... but since you’re probably only doing mall crawling I can see why your boards might get stolen.
