    Maxtrax on Rijidij wheel carrier

    https://www.maxtrax.com.au/mtxrwh

    Has anyone used the Maxtrax mounting kit? More specifically has anyone mounted them at an angle, this would be to allow the wheel carrier based camp light to continue to function.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    If the Maxtrax are mounted to a dual carrier they have to be vertical (like this) so they don't stick out the side of the vehicle.
    On a single carrier where the wheel sits more central the Maxtrax can be mounted horizontally.
    I made this Maxtrax mount for a customer which mounts to the centre of the spare and incorporates the Maxtrax mounting pins.

    Cheers, Murray

    Murray,

    How much please, with or without the pins?
    This is for the current MKII Maxtrax ?

    Or i suppose i could use two ratchet straps criss crossed

    Yep, the pins only work with the MKII Maxtrax as the early ones don't have the holes.

    I'll PM with more details.

    Down the track this i something I may be interested in so when you get them can you post some details regarding ease of use. Also can you lock the maxtrax on to the wheel carrier.

    Murray could you maybe post a thread in the vendors section regarding these? Thanks

    I think you would need to thread a bike lock through to secure them.

    i have just asked Murray, how it impacts tail light & number plate visibility.

    Will post once i get it sorted
