Anyway, maxtraxs and treds are great. Well worth the space imo. By the time you have gotten out the winch, found a suitable tree, winched out, packed up, you could have been well on your way. Also, they can work when reversing, while a winch can't. (Unless you're a rich person with a winch on the rear)

Also, it's safer than either a winch or a snatch recovery, and places less strain on the vehicle.

When my mate asks for his set of maxtraxs back, I will definitely be going out to buy a set.

seeing you go to Fraser a bit we should chip in for a set of cheap traxs for you to road test.
that way we get real world feed back to spin doctoring. What do you think
