MAXTRAX Mini + JaxBase Combo (Olive Drab)
MAXTRAX Mini + JaxBase Combo (Olive Drab)
The MAXTRAX Mini + JaxBase Combo bundles one Mini traction board with one JaxBase to cover two recovery jobs in a single kit. The Mini board is 25 x 13 x 3.5 in and weighs about 4.4 lb, molded from UV-stabilized engineering-grade reinforced nylon with 44 raised treads for grip in sand, mud, and snow. It is the short-format MAXTRAX, sized for vans, UTVs, trailers, and any rig where storage space is tight.
The JaxBase is the second half of the combo, and it does two things. First, it is the mount: it locks the Mini board to your rig with no tools, so the board rides where you can grab it. Second, flip the JaxBase over and it becomes a wide, flat base for a bottle or scissor jack on soft ground — the kind of footing that keeps a jack from sinking when you are changing a tire in sand or mud. The JaxBase weighs about 4.85 lb on its own.
Both pieces are the same olive drab reinforced nylon. The Mini board nests onto the JaxBase, so the combo stows and mounts as one flat unit. Backed by a lifetime warranty against defects for US purchases from authorized dealers.

Overview
The MAXTRAX Mini + JaxBase Combo is a single Mini traction board bundled with a dual-purpose JaxBase. The Mini frees a stuck rig; the JaxBase mounts the board tool-free and doubles as a stable jack base on soft terrain.
Key features
- One Mini traction board: 25 x 13 x 3.5 in, ~4.4 lb, 44 reinforced nylon treads for traction in sand, mud, and snow.
- One dual-purpose JaxBase: mounts the Mini board to the rig with no tools, and flips over to support a bottle or scissor jack on soft ground.
- UV-stabilized reinforced nylon: engineering-grade material that holds up to long-term outdoor exposure.
- Nesting design: the Mini board nests onto the JaxBase so the combo stows and mounts flat as one unit.
- Lifetime warranty against defects for US purchases from authorized dealers.
Use cases
Built for space-constrained rigs — vans, UTVs, trailers, and compact 4x4s — that still need real recovery capability. Use the Mini board to bridge soft sand, mud, or snow, and use the JaxBase under your jack when you have to lift the rig on terrain that won't hold a bare jack foot. The same JaxBase also works for leveling a rig at camp.

Does the JaxBase actually work as a jack base on soft ground?
Yes. Flip it over and the JaxBase gives a bottle, scissor, or Hi-Lift jack a wide, flat footing that spreads the load across sand, mud, or gravel so the jack doesn't sink.
How do the two pieces store together?
The Mini board nests onto the JaxBase, so the combo stows and mounts as one flat unit instead of two loose pieces.
Can I mount it to my rig?
Yes. The JaxBase is the mount — it secures the Mini board to the rig with no tools needed.
Will it fit a smaller vehicle or trailer?
The Mini is the short-format MAXTRAX, sized for space-constrained vehicles, UTVs, vans, and trailers. It is shorter than the full-size MKII while using the same tread design.
Will the nylon break down in the sun?
The nylon is UV-stabilized for long-term outdoor exposure, so leaving it mounted on the rig won't degrade it the way untreated plastic would.
Any technique tips for using the board?
Keep your momentum low when driving onto the board. Spinning tires at speed generates heat that can wear or melt the treads, so ease onto it rather than flooring it.
What's the warranty?
A lifetime warranty against defects applies to US purchases from authorized dealers.
