We were camping in the Coorong over the Xmas break. I ended up getting my Prado stuck belly deep in sand. A couple of gents stopped to assist, one had a set of Maxtraxx.
After I dug the car our with a tri-fold (couldn't recommend it more!), hook up the snatch and ran out over the MaxTraxx, the one under the back tyre literally disappeared!. There were three of us digging in the sand for around an hour and couldn't find the thing. The car must have just buried it right down somewhere.
Anyway, now I need to replace the guys MaxTraxx. I'd rather not
fork out the $300 for a brand new set so wondering if anyone may be able to assist in where I could pick up a good 2nd hand one??
Appreciate the help!!!
Matt

I actually thought it an excellent idea asking around for one. Numerous people on here have said they have broken Maxtrax in the past so it only makes sense there will be a few single ones lying about.
After Matts experience I couldn't see him buying a set for himself anyway.
Cheers Craig.............
PS: Next time Matt get a long handle post hole shovel, don't be afraid to let the tyres down to 8 psi, stick a pair of heavy floor mats under the wheels (or some brush) & don't worry about the
bright orange bits of plastic ;-)
