question: with spacers only in the rear do you find any issues in deep ruts with the front and rear not in alignment?

Thank you

In the “wild” of my backyard. Best I can do with photos at the moment. At least it’s gravel?

Thanks mate

I use TredPro mounts (Bought two sets of 2 but only use 1 set usually) . I shortened them by an inch or so with a hacksaw as they're designed to allow 4 boards. I wanted them shorter. Less tall when I'm not using my ski-rack. Drilled a hole in one of each set to replace the hole in stock. Attached to the crossbars with Thule M6 bolts.


Today: A battered pistol lock provides some semblance of theft deterrent


New and shiny

I got two sets but rarely use all 4. Overkill. I use 3 if I mount the boards lengthwise. 2 when horizontal.

Tasman Blue skies. Fugi White snow.

Stealth 100%






A real gem of a weekend. Bluebird days and nightly dumps of snow. Very glad of the Blizzaks on these days.
