I love my Maxtrax. It even got our Commodore Wagon out of the sand!!!! lol
Bloke in the club swears by them, he likes to go solo on the Madigan line for example.
They have saved his bacon on may occasions.
A fault with them is in that sand they get driven down and get burried, he has spent some time on the shovel finding them!!
Now he has tied a length of nylon rope in a bright colour to them as a tell tale so he knows where to dig!!!!
He has 2 plus a pair of metal ramps about the same size.
LMFAO wrong colour .. I want purple bit it's orange all the way :)Quote:

I was debating whether to buy TREDS or MaxTrax all week.
Ended up buying a pair of maxtrax yesterday.
Went out to the beach hoping to get bogged today... didn't.
I did try them out on a bogged X-Trail and another Patrol. Worked even better than I thought they would. These guys were pretty deep. They dug a channel and I wedged them under the front tires.
I've been told you need to be careful about wheel spin so I guided the driver as they accelerated until they gripped so as to avoid spin. The x-trail had highway tires, not an issue.
For beach driving I think a pair is fine.
Bit of a thread dig, looking for storage options, but couldn't help noticing, you can get PURPLE ones online now :toot:
It's a Patrol, no need for these.
I have 2 pairs, got a cheaper type, yet to use em in a really serious bog, got 2 sets for the price of 1 set of max trax coz they were on for a really good price. I went for two pairs as when I was first starting with my patrol I was told 2 sets were better, since it could help reduce wheel spin with a track at every wheel, and that saved damage to the tracks. So far only ever used 1 set of tracks in recovering a bogged car...
We've now got 2 sets as well - 1 in the original orange for Brads troll and a blue set for mine .. Still sitting in the garage unused :(
We haven't been ANYWHERE for nearly a year - it's a sad sad sad state of affairs
