i was given a set of these, never used them in anger, sorry used them as a ramp at the land rover 60th. i find them a little heavy and combersome. i just picked tham up from a mates place the other day and am now wondering what i should do with them

no group buys as he needs to look after his stockist's which is fair enough

cal......you can order directly off their website, pretty straight forward....

In Tassie a few weeks ago travelling without any other vehicles, we ran into some soft sand on the beach near the water and got stuck. Drove out within a few minutes using TRED's. They were fantastic I thought. We would have been there a LOT longer if we were just digging with a shovel. I felt much more comfortable driving on the beach after that knowing how easy it was to recover ourselves.

I should also say a big thank you to my girlfriend as they were my xmas present!! Not losing the Disco on the beach was an excellent xmas present. hehe My g/f was the one shoving them under the wheels while I drove out. I think it worked well for both of us....

Maxtrax are awesome, and you can get them in all sorts of colours now (even a Camel Trophy colour)!
Weeds - if you want to organise a group buy, let me know and I'll probably be able to sort you out

Just saw these being used on tv. On sand, they used some little plastic pegs through the matrax to stop them moving.

While the rope idea sounds ok, I doubt it very practical in real world.

I don't think you under stand what he means, the rope isn't there to hold them In place but so once you get unstuck you don't have to stop again to pick up the maxtrax and risk getting stuck again, I've seen this technique used quite a few times and it works well.

Rope is a damn good idea. Like the other guys said, once you get moving you dont have to stop to pick them up and risk getting stuck again.
