FIREBUG Recovery Track, Recovery Traction Mats for Off-Road Mud, Sand, & Snow Vehicle Extraction (Set of 2), Red

So I bought this for my daily drive 2wd Tacoma pickup just in case I get stuck in mud for whatever reason. Needless to say it happened as I backed up on mud while heading out to work. It was getting late and I had no other option until I remembered using this sucker and got out very easily by putting one in the back of the wheel while reversing back then putting one in the front of the same wheel and got out like a piece of cake. That alone was worth the money and I got to work on time!

I have not used these yet but they look very similar to the maxtrax which is why I bought them I mean only $70 you can’t really beat that when comparing to maxtrax @ $300 plus I don’t plan on getting stuck very often lol so budget tracks will be fine for me. Now will they work? I don’t know time will tell but the seller says they can support op to 10 tons, same as maxtrax..... I kind of doubt that. These tracks did come with 5 replacement studs and metal screws which was nice but wish it came with at least 10 but hey they were cheap tracks right. I was hoping these tracks would stack up flush like the maxtrax do,but unfortunately they do not, they stack just like the x bull or boar tracks. I’ll update later if I get a chance to actually use them and tell you if they work or not.

I have not yet needed to use these to help anyone get unstuck, but these traction boards seem pretty good for the price. They do not stack as compactly as the name-brand boards, but they don't cost $300 either. I always have these secured either in the bed of my truck or on the roof cargo basket.

Got the chance to test them out today while trying to get to my shooting spot. I had to go through a ditch. Was in 2wd and bogged the rear wheels. The frost is starting to come out of the ground so everything is muddy and soft. I knew I'd easily get out in 4wd but figured this was a good chance to try the boards out. Stuck both of them in front of the rear wheels and I crawled right out. Just dont spin your wheels otherwise you will melt the studs. Have yet to use stress test them but they do work.

There's a couple of great videos of this generic recovery sand boards. I haven't had the chance to use them to get unstuck, but they hold up well under my 6000 lb camper. After driving over them they still look new. I didn't see any signs of stress. I can't wait to take them to the dunes.

I snagged these before an offroading trip to the y00per in my Nissan Xterra. Thankfully haven't had to use them, but I look so legit as an overlander with these strapped to my roof rack. I hope I never get stuck and need to use em, but if I do....they'll be waiting.

Bought these for my husband. My husband never leaves home without them. Someone got stuck in a wash and we offered them to the driver and within a minutes he was unstuck. Great product!

Pro: Modestly priced compared to others.Con: No cleats or waffling in the entry area of the tracks, so a tire will not grab the track and pull it down into place. Tires can slip until you dig out and manually insert them far enough to grab. No central depressed area to permit use as a jack stand.
