Great idea, they only have to get you out of the mud once and they have paid for themselves.
At that price not as many tears if they break or fail, works for me. look forward to the update

I did see it done once on Pat Callinans show but I'd only try it as a last resort. Be looking for some rocks or wood first - cheaper.Quote:

Once the wheel spin started it tore off the zip ties, but if I had my zip ties I could have tied them back up but thats a pain so I have decided to by 2 sets of TREDS from RVTEK for the great price of $170 a pair. Yes I rang TREDS head office and they will honour their lifetime warranty if buying from E-Bay but you must show proof of sale & register.
I thought this idea might have worked, well it sort of did, it did get me out because if I didn't have them I don't think I would have got out on my own.
Even Albert Einstien found over 2000 ways on how not to make an electric light bulb.
Takes a great man to admit defeat ha ha. Nice idea though but I guess in theory you've just proven why TRED's and Maxtraxs are so popular
Could you try steel cable ties??
might not be so good for your tyres thoughQuote:
