DIY Maxtrax Mounting Solution for Factory Roof Rack (1 Viewer)

[PharmerDan100]

Wanted to share what I did since I hadn't seen this method on YouTube or the forums.

Materials:
Maxtrax pins (17mm option)
Mending plates x8
Bolts, nuts, flat washers, lock washers x8
Weather seal strip (auto/marine grade)
(Drill bit to widen hole on mending plates it the pins don't fit the mending plate holes)

Pics self explanatory:

I like this, simple but elegant!

I might add a jamb nut to the other side of the plate above the lower nut. Will allow to tighten/clamp without over flexing the plates.

Think I'll borrow the idea of using these plates to mount a Plano case to the oe rack. Thanks!
