Not as good as the supercheap auto sale + ebay deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/200571 but this is still worth a mention for those that missed out.
These do work, and I have had both the TREDS and Maxtrax. Snapped 3 of 6 TREDS during a nasty river crossing exit (6 cars + 50 motorbikes crossing either in a trailer or own power), only 1 maxtrax sustained damage because a f-wit decided to spin his wheels (he became an owner of a used pair of maxtrax that evening). Mainly due to the design of the edges - the engineers in the group were surprised how quickly the TREDS split in the same point.
Yes, yes - carpet, sticks, paper mache, bodies work better… but then you won't get the bright orange macho boards on your car… nothing screams awesome 4WD'er more than a set of Maxtrax on a Kia Sportage roof rack!
This is THE best and safest recovery tool out there imo. Well worth the money for legit max trax and $209 is a great price.
