Maxtrax/TRED, etc.

While looking for traction boards/ramps i saw summit has the tred boards for $105! Am gonna pick up a set - but have any of all y'all used things like them? I saw eleventy-thousand vids - but interested in your experiences.

Them yahoos with "Super Jeep" on that Alaska off Road Warriors (lol) show had some. But you better drill a hole and attach a piece of cable or chain to them, that way you have a place to attach a winch cable to get them back outa the mud afterwards.....

Get a Pul Pal aka lananchor too, that thing worked pretty good for them. They are pricey, the other guys on the show made one. I bet you can get some good ideas from this site? It is the internet free ideas are everywhere. lol

Pull-Pal winch anchor, foldable land anchors for 4x4, Jeep, ATV, UTV, off-road, all-terrain-vehicles

Camel Trophy guys use/used something like them, well more like old pieces of PSP or Marsden/Marstdon Mat....https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=psp+landing+mat

Good call DMP... I was also research in them after I saw super jeep. But the cheapest I found was on eBay at $150. And the Smitty built ones were cheaper but everyone who used them in freezing temps said they got brittle and shattered. . the TRED was the best I seen review wise.

And also after seeing them alaska yahoos jack up a truck in the mud to git unstuck I researched the off road jacks only to find I don't want to pay or build a rack to hold one. But while looking I found an exhaust jack. I can't wait to use it
