Expensive?
A fraction of the cost of a winch, great for solo sand driving, good for bridging, and not too shabby when it comes to getting up wet clay slopes (hard work but do able). :DQuote:

Never had to use them but it was good to know they were up there. I just wish they weren't ORANGE ( theft magnet ) :(
I like the Bushranger X-Tracks about $170 a pair and heaps more versatile than Maxtrax.
Main disadvantage of them is their much greater weight than the Maxtracks.
Ultimate suspension sells (at $15 ea from memory) A long hesian sack which packs into a very small space, and which you fill with whatever you're bogged in ,lay them in front of the wheels and drive out. Sounds too simple, but they reckon they've set the malasian army up with them for jungle use they're so good. Tel (02)96037677
And no, I don't work for them , nor do I have a set ... yet. Don
Have you ever lifted both of them at the same time, there is not much in it and the X-Tracks pack away heaps smaller than Maxtrax.Quote:

Sand Trax Traction Mat - Dolium Pty Ltd
Another choice at $75 each from dolium. They are 1.2m long and can be joined.
I run a small business that has started making 4WD bog mats from recycled plastic. They're called PolyTrac, Size 1200 x 380mm. Raised traction cleats on both sides. We're just doing factory tests now, as we've only sold them into the heavy truck and crane industry, but they're doing great. I've also approached ARB to distribute them, but no reply yet.
I'll have prices for direct delivery soon. Stay tuned.
At work we get stuff shipped in on Pallets similar to these.

I cut them so I get a long flat track out of them and tie them into pairs with rope. They double as shower matting as well when camping.
I generally take 6 out with me for sand trips
