Recovery Board Mount

Me and my body did some brain storming and made some mounts for my recovery boards.
Material used was 1/4" aluminum and 3/8" hardware.

These are the genero X-Bull brand boards made famous by eBay and Amazon.
I have used them a couple of times with good results, and plan to run them until I bust one. Then I will upgrade to some maxtrax.



The para-cord keeps the tension plated retained so they do not get lost when the boards are in use.




I also made a new axe/shovel mount because the previous model that I made and used for a couple years needed some improvements.

 

Nice looking rear!

 

Paint used was semi gloss black with primer

 

Love this solution. Plan on buying those same boards and mounting them that way as well. Thanks for the idea!

 

Very clean, nicely done! What hardware did you use to attach them to the track?

 

I purchased t-nuts from Amazon and sourced all of the 3/8" hardware at a local hardware store. I used some washers in front of the t-nuts to distribute the weight onto the rail a little bit.
I can get you some pictures of how they are mounted if you need them.

 

That would be awesome if you could grab a picture of that part whenever you have time. I’m a week or two out from doing this myself so no rush. Thanks!

 

Some of the hardware was sourced online using the below search terms.
T Slot Nuts For Toyota With 3/8-16 Thread
3/8" bolts. I think they were 6" or 7" long.
Plastic 5 Star Go Thru Tool Jig Knobs 3/8 x 16 Metal Threaded.
4 pieces 1/4" X 2" ALUMINUM 6061 FLAT BAR 14" long T6511 .25" Mill Stock

You're welcome

 

I’m interested in getting these and was wondering if you have pictures of them and how you like them.

 

Used the ideas here but modified slightly

 

Made some brackets with parts found at the hardware, 2 M8 bolts off Amazon and some Toyota Bed rail Plastic nuts. Seem to Work well

 

Awesome DIY job - well done

 

What’s the size of hardware that is used to mount the bed rails to the bed of the truck anyone know or have experience with building there own on this forum that can share there knowledge.

 

3 zip ties

 

Kuul, but 3 quick snips and they're gone......faster than cat thieves....

 

Unless if you have a tonneau, then cool, but it’ll get stolen real quick.

Get some t-slot nuts to secure it to your rails.

 

I bet I can cut that line faster

 

That would a bit noisy and not as fast as my pocket knife...and my tunny is in my back yard. Bad scenario for the perp that f**ks with my truck or anything else....career ending decision...just sayin
