yeah I'm thinking they don't give a shite on the compound used.
Max traxs used to melt didn't they, or burn?

That's why you buy recovery stuff so you don't use it,lol
but nice to have it on hand when things go pearshaped

X2 , I once thought I had heaps of recovery gear, then yes, it went pear shaped, i used every single thing I had, and could have still used more (lol)


I must admit, i don't bother taking my Maxtrax anywhere anymore, too bulky to carry, and only ever seem to use them on other peoples cars :p

One of my dads old army mates (no tolerance for fools ) carries 2 snatch straps , if he has to help someone that does not have their own , and thinks they are dickheads he sells them his spare , and then helps them to get out using their new purchase !

Always happy to help recover most people, most just dont get the idea of NOT spinning wheels on maxtrax (no matter how much you explain), i pretty much prefer to use the winch to pull people over a snatch nowadays , much safer IMO, just takes longer.

I bought my Maxtrax as i do a hell of a lot of sand driving, and most of the time its pretty just us by ourselves (no other cars), i guess bottom line is, i don't get stuck, so just got sick of taking them all the time. (in fact im thinking im going to sell them)

I take all my other recover gear ,inc a shovel , every time i go anywhere, so its not like im unprepared at all.

Is there no beaches you can drive on down your way ?


To be honest thinking about it, sand driving itself is not overly exciting, but its more about the journey and the places you can get to that I love !

Sand driving can be exciting if you have hills. Sorry about the Toyota badge, was my old car.

This is the type of fun in the sand I was talking about.
Not just a beach run.
