TRED Mount Baseplate Adapter Kit – Flat Mount Kit 01 TPMKBA01

Keeping recovery boards securely mounted while making them easy to access is an important part of a well-organised 4x4 setup. The TRED Mount Baseplate Adapter Kit – Flat Mount Kit 01 (TPMKBA01) provides a practical way to mount compatible TRED recovery boards flat onto a suitable roof rack.

Designed to work with the TRED Mounting Baseplate TMBP01, the TPMKBA01 is specifically intended for roof racks featuring 25mm crossbar support tubes beneath mesh.

Designed for Flat Recovery Board Mounting

The TPMKBA01 allows TRED recovery boards to be mounted flat against a roof rack, keeping them outside the vehicle and readily accessible when required.

This configuration can be particularly useful for touring and overlanding vehicles where interior storage space is limited. Mounting the recovery boards on the roof rack also keeps them separate from luggage and other equipment inside the vehicle.

Designed to Work with the TRED TMBP01

The TPMKBA01 is an adapter kit rather than a complete recovery board mounting system. It is designed to be used together with the TRED Mounting Baseplate TMBP01, which is sold separately.

The baseplate provides the mounting interface for the recovery boards, while the adapter kit provides the connection between the baseplate and the roof rack's crossbar support tubes.

Together, these components create a practical flat-mount solution for TRED recovery boards.

Ideal for Roof Rack Mesh Platforms

The TPMKBA01 has been developed specifically for roof racks with 25mm crossbar support tubes underneath the mesh.

This makes it a useful accessory for customers looking to mount their TRED recovery boards directly onto a suitable platform or roof rack while maintaining a low-profile and organised setup.

If the roof rack does not have mesh beneath the mounting area, additional bracing may be required to help prevent twisting. TRED also notes that the supplied hardware may need to be shortened for a neater installation in certain configurations.

Strong and Lightweight Construction

The TRED Mount Baseplate Adapter is manufactured from glass-reinforced nylon, providing a strong yet lightweight mounting component.

The material incorporates UV stabilisers to help protect the adapter from the effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight, making it well suited to outdoor vehicle applications.

Stainless Steel Hardware

The kit includes stainless steel mounting hardware designed to withstand the demands of outdoor use.

The supplied hardware includes:

4 × M5 stainless steel nyloc nuts
4 × M5 × 40mm stainless steel socket-head bolts
4 × M5 stainless steel washers

The kit also includes 1 × TRED U Bracket.

Keep Recovery Boards Outside the Vehicle

One of the biggest advantages of mounting recovery boards externally is the space it frees up inside the vehicle.

For touring and overlanding vehicles, every bit of storage space can be valuable. A roof-mounted recovery board system keeps essential recovery equipment accessible without taking up room that could otherwise be used for luggage, camping equipment or other supplies.

Australian Made

The TRED Mount Baseplate Adapter Kit is Australian made and backed by a 12-month warranty.

Its combination of glass-reinforced nylon construction and stainless steel hardware makes it a practical addition to a dedicated recovery board mounting system.
