Maxtrax

Re: Maxtrax

We had 4 Maxtrax that none of us had ever used before and I can tell you that we all will be buying a set as soon as the pay comes in. $300 or $60K drowned...hmmm not much of a choice.

So quoting $300 makes me think you only needed to use them two at a time. Is that correct?

That's how they're sold, groups of 2... 2 is good, 4 are better.

Hi Ben,

I know they are available at ICON, I am just trying to find out if I can buy them cheaper. It seems that we pay through the nose for everything here because retailers are under the impression that everyone here is on vacation and makes money by the bucket load, how wrong!

The couple of retailers I spoke to from down under already told me that they do not ship overseas, my last resort would be somewhere in Asia if I can find them.

At these "mad" local price, I will only consider them if I plan on doing more offroading by myself, which would make them mandatory.

Thanks for the heads up.

Try Wil at http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/. He is the US distributor for MAXTRAX, a friend of PradoPoint, my best mate, and all around good guy. I will text him and let him know he now ships to Dubai.

Re: Maxtrax

Hi all

Just a backup support for the mighty Maxtrax. I took two other trucks for a run along the beach at Whitehills today and we discovered that the beach doesnt exist a little further down. Steep slope to water and three trucks over the edge trying to get the others out by snatching.

We were in very serious trouble as none of us had a winch, wouldnt have mattered anyway as the bank was to soft and would have dragged you down to me as well. The water was getting under my Prado as we got the other two out of the way first.
Couldnt even shovel out as no grip to go up bank...just further down toward the water. Exciting feeling.
Two moves over the Maxtrax and I was back on the level ground......I AM SOLD TOTALLY.

I have also found that Prado's are so much better in the sand than the big Cruisers.....to bloody heavy and slide down very quick.
