Do i NEED a roof rack to get a waffle board?

Socialseb83 · Nov 1, 2019

I want to get a waffle board, but its kinda big which makes me think the only way to take it around and still fit 5 people in the rover is to fit it on the roof. However, decent roof racks can be pricey from what i gather, so i wonder if there is another popular way to carry these around, without disrupting the first two rows of seats.

or do i just need to wait to get a roof rack first?

I've no idea what a waffle board is, but I've hauled 5 people + 5 sets of skis by putting down one seat in each of the two rows so 2 in front + 2 in middle + 1 in back.

its a board you put in front of the tires to gain traction in the event you're stuck during off roading or in a snow storm.

instead of a waffle board, keep a bag of cat litter in the truck, or use your floor mats hahaha

Roof, hood, exterior spare tire, or a rack that covers the rear sides of the vehicle are the options I have seen on various vehicles.

Mine serve as the decking on my roof rack.

You should check out Traction Jack as a waffle board. They fold in half and store in the rear cargo area nicely. Pics below. I’ve used mine for my LR4 and my Defender 110. I use them folded as I’ve seen them snap at the hinge in the middle. I’ve seen the work fully open too but that’s my recommendation.

better yet >>>>> carry TIRE CHAINS! A fraction of the price, compact and guaranteed to work every time.

Get both. Hard to bridge up a shear obstacle with chains. Also hard to to get past a CALDOT checkpoint without chains.
