I see a lot of these on roof racks, clean and never scratched, must be display purposes only, like most new 4X4s I guess.
I bought two once. Still haven't gotten bogged.
There's not that many opportunities to get bogged between home, the supermarket, the school and the local soccer fields is there?
;)
:-)I bought them because I was going on sand and my car did get stuck, but I reversed out, deflated more and had a run up.
The issue is people usually get bogged first a couple times and almost risk loosing their car to the beach before buying these. Then they buy them to help out next time but they wised up on how to actually 4wd safer and then may not need them as they know how to get out of a bog, or not get themselves bogged as much any more. Speaking from experience btw..
never driven off-road myself personally but planning to go with some mates in a couple of months.
You seem to know what you are talking about but do you care to explain what you mean by real ozbargainer just deflates early and how's that related to if mounted externally = less drag? Are you suggesting we get this recovery tracks?Hi there h4zey
I was just being facetious about people clamping these things to the side of their 4x4 and driving around for years thereby crating more drag on the highway = higher fuel consumption. As for deflation was just talking about how 99% of "bogging" can be prevented by deflating tyres when you anticipate some soft sections (or even once bogged). A large % of these track thingys never get used and when they are used there are usually alternatives to get you out. These are fine to have but by no means necessary. If you want to buy some useful things get tyre gauge and a shovel (both will get you out of more "situations" than these) if you can afford it get a decent 12V compressor if you are going to make a habit of heading off the bitumen.In summery these are fine to buy if you feel like spending money and one day a year or two down the track they may save you 10 min of shovel work, but in no sense a necessity.
ah cheers mate, will take your advice and let me mate knows.
I got 2 pairs. Used them so far on each and every trip I did. ONLY once for my own vehicle and rest for other's :-)
Damn…I thought the thumbnail was of a giant $215 Cheeto type snack. Oh well, back to reality it is.
A good Oz Bargainer uses logs, a lazy ozbagainer brings carpet mats, a motivated Oz bargainer uses milk crates telstra rope and a Jigsaw to build light weight tracks…… But a real Oz bargainer just deflates early (= savings on initial overhead, less storage, less weight and if mounted externally less drag= savings on diesel over the yrs)
