Fibreglass recovery tracks

These are not new to land Rovers

This was my winch challenge 90, 10 years ago

I had the bridging ladders mounted on the back of my 90 made from Fibergrate

That's right- your pictures in an earlier post is where I got the idea from!
Took me a while to track down a source, but got some eventually.... but I couldn't find any posts showing how well they work, so decided to try them myself and photograph the results.

Here is a pic of me using them , had a look but can't find a lot of pics of me using them

This was a brick works in Northampton and it was in the LRO santa's challenge. This place was very very muddy and they came in useful

I've just got some 'bridging ladders' for a couple of local members, worked out at $180 +gst delivered
They are 1220x320 and these ones were yellow or green
Happy to facilitate Aulro members buying them.

I ordered a set of thinner ones (not suitable for bridging) but should be good in sand and mud. Chasing a price, so will let you know when I have the quote.

The material is available in two thicknesses, 25mm and 38mm. The costings for 25 and 38 is very close, as most of the cost is in the labour, cutting and sealing etc.

1220x310x38mm, suitable for bridging, $180 +gst
1220x310x25mm $164 +gst

I got a couple of 1000x310x25mm, as easier to store in vehicle, and should do the job in sand or mud, plus could be posted to me.

I've been advised that if I ordered say 20 sets, almost any colour, would save more as they would get made in China to our size etc. and shipped out with their next bulk supply. Chinese labour is cheaper than Aussie!

When I get back from my forthcoming OLRHD trip I'll investigate.

try this link,

Grating FRP Australia -

That stuff can also be bought in Melbourne in similar sizes for recovery use... OR, you can buy big sheets and cut a few sets out of it. I did that a few years ago with a mate, a circular saw and a dust mask!

We did it with the intent of making some money on it but some other mob beat us to it. I often see them with a ute and a trailer load at shows like Wandin. They work, but function a lot differently to Max Trax.

Easy DIY $ saver.
