Default Mounting Accessories on OEM Expedition Roof Rack (e.g Maxtrax, shovel, etc)

Has anyone figured out the best way to mount Maxtrax on the expedition roof rack either flat or on the side without any custom fabrication? Are there off-the-shelf mounts/t-bolts/accessories that works?
In general, for those of you who has the roof rack, how are you mounting things on it?

worked with the accessories that work with the Thule wingbar . The expedition has insert t-bolt openings. Btw save the rubber inserts in the rail it helps eliminate wind noise

just received these from front runner. Seem to fit perfectly - tie down rings for drawer system.

I ordered these from Front Runner and separately ordering t-bolts to replace the bolts that come with to attach them to the expedition rack using the T tracks.

i would try this, but you would need to get T-bolts that work with the OEM rack (Thule or Rhino Rack) to fix it to the rack.

Looks like that would work nicely. The Defenders that we’re used on the African press expedition all seemed to have tires mounted on the roof rack.

Yes, exactly what I have been using for reference.
