MaxtraxRear Wheel Harness

I ordered it used from Overland Kitted and I'm very pleased. Besides a little dust and missing the instructions it looked brand new. It took me all of 60 seconds to find the instructions on the Maxtrax website and I had it installed in about 20 minutes. It appears to be very solid, fits my new Maxtrax Lite boards perfectly.

Fastened this holder and four Maxtrax to a spare tire mounted on the back of a Sprinter, and immediately started a 2,500-mile trip over a variety of roads, mostly paved. However, the unpaved roads were not smooth. This holder did not require tightening, and the Maxtrax stayed put throughout the entire trip resulting in no damage to anything -- the van, spare tire, or the Maxtrax.A couple of caveats: 1) Although the holder is sturdy, I would not want to expose it to UV 365 days per year. I plan to mount the holder and Maxtrax when I plan a trip where we plan to off-road or when snow is forecast. 2) There's no provision for locking the holder to the spare. A DIY solution with cables is in my future.The holder is a little spendy, so I'm knocking off one star in the value-for-money category, but on the other hand, the materials and design is robust, so got what I paid for. I will update this review if the holder fails prematurely.
