Overland Kitted Stealth Folding MAXTRAX® Roof Rack Mount

When you remove your MAXTRAX®, you’re still left with the mounting pins sticking up in the air—and if you’re trying to fit into a parking garage, that’s a problem. You shouldn’t have to unbolt your setup every time. The Overland Kitted Stealth Folding MAXTRAX® Mount solves a real issue we’ve dealt with for years: exposed mounting pins that limit your clearance, even when the boards are off.

This bracket folds the pins flat in seconds—no tools, no hassle—so you can clear garages, carports, or low-hanging trail entrances without sacrificing roof rack functionality. Whether you’re storing your boards at home, reducing wind noise on the highway, or keeping UV damage on your gear to a minimum, this bracket delivers a sleek, no-compromise solution.

The Overland Kitted Stealth Folding MAXTRAX® Roof Rack Mount can also be configured with a 1.25-inch rise to fit a wider variety of roof racks and mounting scenarios. 

Why We Love This:

We designed this Stealth Folding Mount so we could finally fit our vehicle in the airport parking garage without unbolting our MAXTRAX mounting brackets. The bonus? Less wind noise, better fuel economy, and no long-term UV fade on our MAXTRAX®. It’s simple, clean, and folds flat without tools—just remove your recovery boards, flip the pins down and go.

Features & Benefits:

• Modular Folding Design – Four configurations in one bracket:
  
  • Stealth w/ Pins Facing Inward
  • Stealth w/ Pins Facing Outward
  • Raised w/ Pins Facing Inward
  • Raised w/ Pins Facing Outward
• Folds Flat, No Tools Needed – Pressed steel pins rotate smoothly and stop at set angles to avoid over-rotation or rattling.
• "Stealth Mode" - Flush Mounting – Regain full use of your roof rack when your MAXTRAX® aren’t mounted. In the low-profile (flush) position, our bracket folds the mounting pins below the plane of your roof rack, making it easy to slide gear, rooftop bags, or other equipment across the surface  (Note: Requires 12” of clearance between the adjacent roof rack crossbars outside your mounting point, crossbars  must be less than 7” wide.)
• Raised Mounting Option – The bracket can be configured to provide 1.25 inches of rise—just enough to allow the MAXTRAX® Mounting Pins to rotate freely. This gives you the clearance needed to mount MAXTRAX® in either a north-south or east-west orientation on most roof racks.
• Adjustable Folding Direction – Pins can fold inward or outward by reversing the L-bracket and hardware. You can even mix directions to suit your rack layout.
• Engineered and Built in Prescott, Arizona – Built from stainless steel and designed for real-world use with smart tolerances and pressed steel pins for consistent, tool-free folding.
• Designed for Genuine MAXTRAX® Mounting Pins: Sold separately but available at a discount when purchased together.

Installation Notes:

Check fastener torque after extended off-road use. 

To change folding direction:

Pay attention to washer orientation
Belleville spring washer sits beneath the hex bolt
Nylon washer in the middle
Standard washer and nylock nut on the outside
Adjust to your desired tension so it moves with one hand but doesn’t move freely
