Not that I'm any expert by any stretch but once you get a better feel for it and a better understanding, your confidence grows. What once scared and challenged you before doesn't anymore as you know the car will take it on. I imagine this would be the case if you continually tried harder and harder stuff......which I haven't. But I've easily driven past or assisted plenty of other bogged cars.
Of course, at some point the car can only do so much and the conditions and the laws of physics will win in the end. In other words .... you can still get bogged and stuck ... LOL!!!
On the MaxTrax front. I was surprised how easy it is to burn the nubs off. The first time I used them ... low range ... can't remember if I was in Sand or Rock-Crawl but even with what I thought was very little throttle, I slightly scorched a couple. I now know you have to be really light on the gas. The car has a lot of low down grunt and the MaxTrax are just no competition if the wheels spin. However, I've used them several times since then with no issue. I've seen a few others destroy theirs however.
Maxtrac are ****e. Get the glass fibre waffle boards.much better and you can bridge with then to
I have those glass fibre bridging ladders/recovery tracks, these work really well and I also used them as a flat surface to jack up the daughters Amarok to change the front wheel after the wheel nuts came loose, we were on a very slippery muddy track on a bit of a slope, these things are bloody strong as well as very good recovery tracks.Quote:

Try this.
