Provides emergency traction for your tires in snow, ice, mud and sand. Works on all vehicles with summer, winter, or all-season tires.Comes with 2 reusable polypropylene solid and virtually indestructible traction mats.No installation required, making it hassle free, easier and safer to use than tire chains and snow chains.Each only 2.5 pounds and 36 inches long, allowing easy storage in your trunk or under your seat.Avoid the stress of shoveling, slipping and sliding, being stranded, or calling for a tow truck in emergency situations.
By not driving on a dry lake bed?
The tires look like they are inflated to normal highway driving pressure when they should be under-inflated, and pushing the pedal to the floor is probably the worst way to try to get out of sand. So a blend of approrpiate technique and appropriate caution. And like u/paragonncrazy said, I also learned from experience.
Also, personally, I keep a duffel bag full of recovery straps, mats, and shackels, and an emergency shovel, plus a couple of traction mats and a mankiller jack for those TIFU/emergency situations after I have (it's a job requirement, otherwise my JK stays mostly on pavement) to go offroad in adverse conditions.
I assume the dude in the picture is trying to get a winch set up, but he has no anchor point nearby.
Besides shovel and a recovery strap I recommend a traction mat like this as well. It works much better than floor mats, I just used it to get 2 cars out in a roll in a parking lot last week.
>Part of off-roading is accepting that your car is going to get hurt. :p
I know, small annoyances seem to piss me off more than large problems and damage. :P
I mean if it were something major, I'd just go and fix it or whatever, but this thing is bent literally..... maybe 1cm? just EVER SO SLIGHTLY that the cover won't fit. Bah.
You need a pair of these (or the more solid/rigid variants). Best investment I ever made.
That myth has been busted and doesn't work 99% of the time. If you're worried about getting stuck, get some traction plates You need those spikes to be able to dig into the ground.
You can buy these traction pads to get out of ice and snow. It's a more-neighborly solution than calling dibs, IMO.
Thanks for the info. I would really want to use it for generator, fuel, extra bs. I thought it would be wise to enclose it a certain amount for security and i have a feeling it's a big no-no to have a container of gas on the back of your vehicle, so to hide that as well. and i went the cheap route on the treads. lol. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046CZKIA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
