This Kaon Stealth Folding Maxtrax & TRED setup keeps your recovery boards low and flat across the ARB BASE Rack so you can still clear low carparks and tight bush tracks. The folding mounts swing up to give space when you want to load swags or firewood down the centre of the rack. The east west layout suits long base racks and keeps the boards ready on top when you hit soft sand or mud. The gear uses steel plate about 3 mm thick with a black powder-coat finish that holds up to stone hits and gritty country roads. Stainless bolts and nylock nuts stay solid in wet coastal air and creek crossings. The mounts are drilled to match standard Maxtrax and TRED bolt spacing so you do not need odd hardware. This is smart buy kit for 4x4 owners who want boards secure without wasting roof height.

Q: Do these mounts fit standard Maxtrax and TRED boards?

Yes, the mounts are shaped to suit standard Maxtrax and TRED hole spacing. That means you can use the existing pins or hardware from those brands. The layout keeps the boards aligned along the rack slats. You do not need to drill extra holes in the boards.

Q: Can I still use the centre of the ARB BASE Rack with these fitted?

Yes, the brackets fold to open up the rack centre. You can swing the mounts up when you want to load swags or other gear underneath. Once packed, you fold them back down over the top. This keeps the rack useful for both recovery gear and touring loads.

Q: Will the mounts add much height to my vehicle?

No, they keep the boards low over the slats. The brackets sit just high enough to clear the rack frame and cross beams. This helps with garage access and low branches. It also keeps wind noise down compared to tall side mounts.

Q: Are these mounts suitable for coastal or beach driving?

Yes, the hardware uses corrosion‑resistant materials. The coated brackets handle salt spray and damp sand better than bare steel. Regular rinsing after beach trips will extend the life of the kit. This makes them a solid option for frequent sand driving.
