TRED has released two new mounting adapters, allowing for either a side-mount or flat-mount option when used with the TPMK mounting plate. The TRED Mount Adapters are made from glass reinforced nylon, a similar material to the famous ARB TRED PRO Recovery Boards but containing a higher concentration of glass to improve strength. This material provides a lighter-weight option and a more flexible solution for keeping your TRED Recovery Boards within easy reach and out of the way of cargo storage on your vehicles roof rack. The TRED Mount Adapter system also includes all stainless hardware for whatever mother nature can throw at it. The TRED Flat-Mount Adapter was specifically developed to be used in conjunction with the TRED Mount Baseplate (Part Number TPMK) for mounting TRED Recovery Boards to the 1-inch crossbar support tube under the mesh of your roof rack. If there is no mesh on the roof rack, additional bracing might be required to eliminate twisting, and the supplied hardware might need to be shortened for a neater finish. ;
