For those that have traction boards/ramps, where do you store them on your jeep.... those w/o roof racks please.

Yeah, same prob here. I don't want to block the back up camera with the spare mount...

I only have them with me when off roading, and I just throw them behind the back seat. Same with my hi-lift and shovel/axe.

Great Idea asking LOD! Thanks.

Yeah that'd be great if they could just hook on the tire carrier without needing a roof rack. I don't want those filthy things in my interior LOL

I recommend anyone carrying recovery gear, especially large, heavy items like a HiLift and Maxtrax, ensure that they are properly tied down.

Traveling off-road is inherently unstable. And in the event of an accident, those tools can wreak havoc with the Jeep and most importantly, you.

Same question. With my JLU hardtop it seems like there's enough room between the top and the rollbar to stow them. Anyone tried this?

Have you tried this? Has it worked? Right now, I'm leaning towards putting them in the back seat and making sure they are somehow secured (seatbelt?!), but would love a more "permanent" mounting solution.

If tied to the roofrack, use more than 2 zipties to hold it to the rack.

Someone in the future in the middle of the woods is going to get a free set of traction boards that trees ripped off my Jeep, and I didnt notice till days later.

Oof, hope they weren't Maxtrax!

I have the Texas metalworks shelf. They fit perfectly in/on it and then more stuff can go on top of that.....

alternatively, you could probably mount the boards UNDER the shelf too...

great company. Great product.

more images of another jeep....

In for more ideas...

Maybe between roll bar and back quarter panel window space (in a bag), strapped around roll bar?

Good afternoon,
I have the go tread folding recovery pads and the fit great between the roll bar and my hard top.

Could be worse - like the guy that I saw tear his entire roof rack off crossing under a fallen tree. Guess he forgot it was there.
