    Planning on getting bogged? :P :P :P
    Ha ha. Didn't plan on getting bogged - but did!!! Managed to belly out in some soft stuff near the top of a dune. After less than a minute of digging to get the Maxtrax wedged in managed to drive straight out without a hitch. Unfortunately my daughter isn't very good with the camera so the photo she took only shows the roof of the car! :wink:

    Money well spent.

      Excellent idea with the floor mats, I didnt even think of them, I have rubber mats as well. We all carry them but I am willing to bet not many people will use them. Cant have them getting dirty or ruined I guess. I am lucky in that I havent had to use anything till last weekend, now I have a set or Maxtrax so it will be easy if ever needed again.
      Don't use floormats when joining snatch straps..........KAPOW! - GONE.

                        I may have ran these up to $255, but wouldn't go any more.
                        Hope no one from the forum was an opposing bid.
                        Would have been value at 2 hunge though!

                          I was going to bid but not after it got above $248 and found out how much I could get a new set for.

                          They are heavier than expected.

                            Most people had them marked as $295 at the Perth 4wd, Camping, Caravan show on the weekend. The cheapest I saw were $275.

                              Cheapest I seen and bought at the show was $279. Was happy with that price, now I just have to wait until I get stuck to give them a crack.

                                Originally, when they first came out... $295.00 was the RRP. I've been told in very good faith that there is very little mark up on the Maxtrax to keep them at a reasonable price.
                                I have been quoted by Maxtrax a price of $275.00 but that was for the factory 2nd's... they had a batch where the 'orange' wasn't quite right.
