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.

Would be keen to see a pic.....

For those that don't think sandbags would work,( for whatever reason)
check this out. Tho not sure he would have got bogged if his tyres were down to start with.

sorry I could not find a clip with actual hessian bags, might have to make one myself

(tho my Vehicle of choice might not get bogged so easy)

The wing-nuts go through the standard MaxTrax mounting points to an aluminum block. They've got a decent length thread designed both as a deterrent to opportunistic thieves (takes a minute to unscrew) and to ensure the thread isn't damaged.

The bottom bracket catches the side grab handle of the MaxTrax and then has a small stainless steel bracket which is threaded through and padlocked.

When mounted 2 MaxTrax sit in line with the protrusion of the standard Defender flares.

I might be biased, but they look dodgy

They also look to be nowhere near as effective as Maxtrax, tiny lugs don't look like they'd do much.

Whose for pink...

**clubagreenie** · 3rd September 2013, 07:30 AM

I believe I can comment on that. As a past life commercial diver imaging rocking up onto an oil rig and having all pink diving gear. Now when it's time to pack up after 30-45days on the only person who can find their stuff or not have it stolen is...

The pink stuff because no one wants to be seen with it.

I like it. My brother sells these. I am perverse enough to get Pink and strap them loud and proud on the roof racks of my Bonnati Grey and Black D2...

Cheers

I've never used the Maxtrax in the sand though quite a bit in muddy situations in the High Country and they work a treat. Though a rope is a must we learnt after a few recovers. We tied the rope to a tree on either side of the bog hole. As our first test recovery ended up with one of us in the mud fishing around for the track which had been forced down and jammed in under there. Very messy

Once the ropes were attached. The car would drive out and we could pull on the rope to recover without getting dirty.
