Key features
- Carries up to 5 MAXTRAX boards (4 if they're too muddy to nest cleanly)
- 25mm nylon webbing with a stainless steel hanging bracket (10mm diameter)
- Two ratchet straps rated to 400kg each
- Integrated pouch (32 x 28cm) for fixing pegs and linking straps
- Tested to fit spare tires up to 37 inches

Use cases
Built for rigs running a swing-away carrier or rear bar that want their recovery boards grab-ready outside the cabin. It frees up interior and roof space, keeps dirty boards out of your packed gear, and puts the boards within reach the moment a tire digs in.
- Board capacity: Up to 5 MAXTRAX (4 if heavily caked)
- Webbing: 25mm (1 in) nylon
- Hanging bracket: Stainless steel, 10mm (3/8 in) diameter
- Ratchet rating: 400kg per strap
- Pouch size: 32 x 28cm (12.6 x 11 in)
- Tire fitment: Up to 37 in
- Item weight: 1.5kg (3.3 lb)
- Mount requirement: Clearance behind spare (swing-away carrier or rear bar)
How many MAXTRAX boards can the harness carry?
Up to 5 boards stacked, or 4 if they're caked in mud and won't nest together cleanly.
What spare-tire size does it fit?
It's tested to fit spare tires up to 37 inches.
Will it work on any spare-tire mount?
No. The harness needs easy access behind the spare-wheel mount — typically a swing-away carrier or rear bar. A bumper-recessed spare with no clearance behind the wheel isn't a good fit, so check your rear setup before ordering.
Does it include the fixing pegs and linking straps?
The harness includes a pouch sized to stow your fixing pegs and linking straps, but those board accessories are sold separately. The harness itself is the carry system, not the board hardware.
How much can the ratchet straps hold?
Each ratchet strap is rated to 400kg — far beyond the weight of a full board stack, so the load stays locked even over rough terrain.
How do I keep it weather-ready?
The stainless steel bracket and nylon webbing shrug off sun and weather. Rinse trail grit off the ratchets now and then so they keep cinching smoothly.
