Tackform TRAXX Dash Mount Install

[ADVNTURR]

Thanks to the heads-up by @bdallas9 I was able to get in on the pre-order of the new TackForm TRAXX dash mount system and unlike a lot of other pre-orders, it actually arrived early. I chose the Slim Track option and picked up a mag mount for a radar detector initially with one of their blue anodized thumb knobs.

The parts all came well packaged and nicely organized (and did I mention early). They amazingly include almost everything you need to install other than a small drill and a Phillips screwdriver. I was especially impressed that the mount is entirely aluminum, including the formed "wings" which I really expected to be plastic.

The end result is super clean and seems very sturdy. So far I only have my trailer TPMS display mounted and I am going to be getting a different arm setup to reposition it better along with a GoPro mount just because.

For anyone interested in the actual install process I made a video:

I had the same exact issue over the weekend. ended up not installing the slim track and sending them an email so hopefully we can all get a fix soon.

Are you referring to the heads of the bolts being seemingly too large to fit in the recesses? It's a very tight fit, but when I actually tightened the bolts down they drew themselves down into the recess and I was able to slide a ball mount all the way across the track. Not ideal, but in the end it functions as desired.

Got it thats good to hear i didnt want to crank them down in the moment because when i was trying it was just metal on metal grinding. But maybe ill just see what they say and finish installing it.

Yeah, if I could give you guys any advice. You have to screw those 7 mm bolts all the way down until they bottom them out don’t over tighten. And then you’ll feel that base bracket secure. And then you’ll have to add the two screws on the back for extra stability. Make sure you make those holes nice and small so that screw has something to bite into. And then you’re off running it’s an absolutely simple, simple install and if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
