get stuck , hop out , half fill a few bags with sand & chuck them under your wheels, out in a jiffy. & can never become a missile.

Work in mud too.

What about repetitive recoveries? Would be a PITA having to fill, use, empty, return to vehicle, fill, use, empty return, etc, etc. on roads where repetitive use is required. Surely hessian bags would wear out pretty quickly?

Maxtrax also work in mud, and I've never seen them become a missile.

I'd rather have a comfortable pillow, and be a few $$$ out of pocket and just carry them rather than the above scenario.

I like the hessian bag idea, and you could roll them up to keep the mud in instead of getting it inside the vehicle. Might not be best in all situations, but better than nothing.

another use for maxtrax, if you have a lowered car and cant get the jack under, drive onto the maxtrax then you can fit the jack under.

I have found the good thing about attaching the maxtrax with some rope to my vehicle is when Im driving around town, it keeps the car behind at a 2 car length gap........

Would love a set of these right now. Wife's amarok is ever so slightly kissing a fence post in our back yard on a side slope, its a wee bit slippery.

thanks god I have a mate with an excavater coming around later to pull me out before it does any damage

I can't comment on their effectiveness yet (haven't used them) but Daniel @ Mulgo designed a novel way of mounting them on the side of my 110 HT...

There's a shot here on his Twitter account.

We did some measurements and something similar would work on a standard 110. Daniel designed them so when piloting the CBD they can be removed without leaving much evidence of the mounting brackets. A great solution for those who have low garage roofs so can't keep them up top and don't want to sacrifice rear vision by mounting the Trax on the rear tyre. I can post up some more pics of the mounts if anyone's interested.
