Anyone who's into their 4wd'ing seriously enough to get adventurous knows that carrying a set of MaxTrax is mandatory. Doesn't matter whether it's mud or sand or even that pea soup gravel that'll put a truck on it's chassis, having MaxTrax on hand is the ultimate 'get the vehicle home' ticket. And often the only way if you're on your own!
I know, I've seen an overloaded 79 worth two hundred times what I paid for Milo - I should say 'cost', not worth, my little mate's worth more than any new fairy conditioned bauble - driven off a remote beach as the tide rushed in thanks to a road of MaxTrax. That time alone they paid for themselves but there's been plenty of times they've just sorted an immediate problem.
This clip, taken from the second of our last DVDs, 'Darwin Unleashed - The Handbrake's Holiday', proves something else fair dinkum off-roaders know about MaxTrax. Because they're made from the same reinforced polymer nylon used in weapons systems they can take weight even when not fully supported. I've seen them bend to the shape of a wheel when I used them to get our old David Brown tractor out of a mud pit on the test track here at home. Wish I'd got a photo of that but hey, like the best MaxTrax moments, a bloke's usually got something else on his mind!
Here we're stopping Penny's 80 Series Toyota from rolling over by using a couple of MaxTrax under the front wheel in a wet ditch stitched over with a few tree roots. More than half the weight of the vehicle's punching these MaxTrax on an uneven surface but they hardly notice it.
There's a lesson here. If you're serious about off road adventure, don't waste your time with the cheap knock off's made from plastic. Pretending doesn't get you far in a country the size of Australia. Make it MaxTrax and make it home. - Roothy.
