We used pull down straps in the past. They are cheap straps from Bunnings with some old cut up bike tyre tubing around the strap to protect rubbing on the wheel. They say good for 500kg or something.
Has anyone found a cheap way to attach to the rear wheel, im thinking ratchet straps for the Fraser trip but wondered if there is a cheap cheat to the official bracket
Yep I got a set last month. I just said to the guy at BCF can you do better than $299 and he said $275 take them now and I had BCF vouchers so sold I said.
Convinced. Considering that I have zero beach/4wd experience at present, these seem to be a reasonably priced, easy to use insurance policy for the big trip across Australia. Plan on visiting as many isolated and remote beaches as i can on the way (how else to get the missus to go topless?!!?) and the glowing reviews of their performance, coupled with some common sense, should hopefully see me out of trouble!

If you order the mounting bolts from Rays Outdoors they may not come with nuts and washers. They are ment to as of about 2 years ago when Maxtrax started with the nuts and washers. I had this issue recently. It's cheaper to get the mounting kit through Maxtrax website if you call them.
