Im seriously considering getting some tomorrow.

For someone who 4wd's alone, i think they'd be very usefull.

**Outlaw** · 10th December 2007, 10:10 PM

they look the goods but a bit pricey i think for what they are imho

**Blknight.aus** · 10th December 2007, 10:12 PM

as someone whose worked tracks before..

repairing a punctured tyre is a smeg load easier than fixing a thrown track

Excellent idea, I'd be up for a set but IMHO they are expensive.

**Aaron** · 10th December 2007, 10:17 PM

I will be using a gift certificate so there will be no cost.

**cal415** · 10th December 2007, 10:41 PM

for the right price they would be good, but i couldnt bring myself to pay the 300 odd dollar price tag.

When i was on fraser last year i met up with a guy who was given a set by his neighbour(who worked for the company) we gave them a good testing, they worked well in the soft sand etc but we snapped them using them to ramp up an embankment at the edge of a stream, they dont flex well!

I voted no but just because they are so damn expensive for two bits of plastic !

Not as heavy as proper track/sand ladders, much smaller too.

We had a set in one of the vehicles on a Simpson Trip this August & were used numerous times by a number of the party especially the owner driving a 130 TD5 on multi occassions, & were absolutely brilliant.

If by yourself in sand, cheap at $240 odd dollars to get you out trouble, they never failed each time they were used, highly recommend

dont I feel like a goose, instead of copying the link I typed it in and went to MATTRACKS rubber track conversion systems - all-terrain rubber tracks for 4X4 vehicles.

those orange mat things are also a little ovrerated in my opinion not bad in sand but next to useless in mud the moisture on the tyre pretty much stops your rubber from grabbing the mat untill your spinning the tyre hard enough to make the things melt and then once theyre in the mud they tend to develop a loverly suction into the mud and get freaking heavy once they are caked in it. And the more mud you get on them the less effective they are.

but thats not their only useage, if you find yourself hanging up over a couple of ill placed unavoidale pot holes they can bridge on offering just enough grip to get you by.
