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

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.
