The Sherpa Offset Traction Board Mount is engineered to solve this problem by shifting your boards outward, hanging them off the side of your rack. This \"offset\" design clears up the center of your rack for bulky items like rooftop tents, storage boxes, or kayaks, while keeping your recovery boards easily accessible for when the trail gets tough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProudly made in the USA (Colorado), these mounts are laser-cut from high-quality aluminum and finished in a durable black textured powder coat. Designed specifically for Sherpa’s \"The Peak Series\" racks, these mounts utilize the modular T-slot channels to provide a rock-solid attachment point. Whether you are navigating deep sand or thick mud, having your boards mounted on the side ensures you can grab them in seconds without having to climb onto your roof or move other gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision Engineering \u0026amp; Universal Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSherpa is known for \"Adventure with Confidence\" build quality, and these mounts are no exception. The offset brackets are designed to accommodate the most popular recovery boards on the market, including \u003cstrong\u003eMaxtrax MKII, Maxtrax Xtreme, and TRED Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e. The brackets feature multiple mounting holes and slots, allowing you to adjust the height and positioning of the boards to perfectly align with your vehicle's silhouette and ensure they don't interfere with doors or windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow-Profile \u0026amp; High-Strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using heavy-duty aluminum instead of steel, Sherpa has created a mount that is incredibly strong yet lightweight, preventing unnecessary top-heavy weight on your rack. The low-profile design ensures that even though the boards are offset to the side, they remain tucked close to the rack to minimize wind noise and prevent snagging on tight, overgrown trails. This balance of strength and slim design makes it one of the most popular accessories for Sherpa rack owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple, Bolt-On Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a straightforward process that requires no drilling or permanent modification. The mount bolts directly into the side profile or crossbars of your Sherpa roof rack using the included stainless steel hardware. The kit is sold as a pair (two brackets), providing everything you need to secure a set of two or four traction boards. Simply add your brand-specific mounting pins (like Maxtrax pins), and you are ready for the trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; width: 40%;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eSherpa Peak Series Racks \u0026amp; Most T-Slot Racks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eBoard Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMaxtrax (MKII\/Xtreme), TRED Pro, \u0026amp; More\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eLaser-Cut Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eBlack Textured Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStainless Steel Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eComponents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eSold as a Pair (2 Brackets)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePros \u0026amp; Cons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePros\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximize Roof Space\u003c\/strong\u003e — Moves boards to the side to make room for tents and large boxes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Access\u003c\/strong\u003e — No more digging gear out from under a rooftop tent in an emergency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust-Free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Aluminum construction and stainless hardware prevent corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Adjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e — Slotted design allows for custom height and width positioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCons\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePins Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mounting pins (like Maxtrax Pins) are sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Width\u003c\/strong\u003e — Increases the effective width of your vehicle's roofline slightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this include the mounting pins?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. These are the structural brackets that attach to your rack.
