Traction tracks

Post by ChrisR » Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:25 pm

Wife spotted these in our local Argos... Probably useless but I'm tempted to get some to try for that price.

Opinions??

for once I find myself agreeing with Neil...

Even if they are used once and crack, at 15 quid it sounds like a cheap (and compact ?) solution for snow conditions ?

I would just throw the rubber floor mats under the wheels and save 15 quid.

I don't think they'd survive being rolled over by a D3 and although they're cheap enough to be worth buying for a "one-off", the floor mats will do just as good a job :thumbright:

Interesting; as has been said, if these get you moving just once they've paid for themselves.

Agro's part number has changed though; found it here :

Look like the same thing.

Not sure if in the real world they'd cope with the weight of a discovery on them... Tempted to make a set for proper use.

Sorry for dragging this off-topic, but am I the only one to have used the rubber floor mats (several times) to "unstuck" the D3?

I've used them quite a few times and it's worked a treat. They're also a lot easy to throw on top of the roofrack when dirty unlike my sand ladders :lol:
