Traction Board Holder for the Horizon Rooftop Tents

Overlanding is freedom. You drive out into the unknown, sleep under the stars, and wake up ready for a new trail. But freedom comes with a challenge: space. Your car only fits so much gear, and when you share it with family, or friends, every centimetre counts. The traction board holder for the Horizon rooftop tents solves this problem in a clean, simple way. This holder moves your traction boards directly onto your Horizon rooftop tent, making your packing stress drop to zero. Instead of playing Tetris with gear, you close the boot, lock the doors, and go.

Traction boards are one of the most important recovery tools for off-road driving. They help when you lose grip in deep sand. They push you out when your wheels spin in mud. They give you a firm surface when snow swallows your tyres. They can even act as a small bridge over a hole or rock. Every overlander who has ever been stuck wishes they had traction boards within reach. But storing them inside your car is messy. Mud, snow and sand fall everywhere. With this holder, dirt stays on the outside!

Mounting and unmounting your traction boards is simple. You undo four screws, lift the boards off, and you are done. It takes less than a minute in most cases. When you are stuck knee-deep and the sun is going down, this speed matters. You want to grab your boards, place them down, and get moving again. No hassle. No wasted time.

The bracket system suits almost any traction board on the market. It fits brands like Maxtrax, Ironman, and most boards that use mounting holes. The mounting points slide across the entire length of the tent. You can adjust the height between 105 mm and 305 mm. The bracket lets you mount one board, two boards, or up to four boards on a single holder.

Installation is simple. You use the T-rails on any side of your Horizon rooftop tent. Once you mount it, you can leave it on permanently. It does not rattle. It does not affect how the tent opens or closes. The tall version of the holder offers more clearance and gives you room to mount it even on the back hinge area of the tent. If you like a low-profile style, you can. also flip the brackets upside-down to drop the boards lower. You get freedom to set it the way you want.

Material matters when gear lives outside in the cold, heat, and rain. This traction board holder is full stainless steel. It is powder-coated in matte black, so it blends into the tent design, and it will not rust, even if you cross salty beaches or leave the tent outside for months. It looks clean, strong, and built for travel.

Security is simple too. If you leave your traction boards on your tent while parked in a city or fuel station, you can lock them in place. Thanks to the eyelets that are used to fix the boards to the brackets, these can easily be locked using a steel loop-style lock, which you can buy from any hardware store. This is not included in the kit, and you can find a picture with a reference setup within the product photos.

If your goal is quick weekend trips, long off-grid expeditions, or cross-country drives, this small upgrade will make every kilometre easier. It is simple gear that delivers a big result: more space, less stress, and one less thing to worry about on your adventure!
