The MAXTRAX MkII is a pair of self-recovery traction boards molded from UV-stabilized, engineering-grade reinforced nylon. Each board runs 45 in long, 13 in wide, and 3.5 in tall, and weighs 7.5 lb, so the pair comes in at 15 lb. Aggressive teeth bite into your tire tread on one side and into sand, mud, or snow on the other, giving a spinning wheel a firm base to climb out on. No winch, no tow strap, no second rig needed.
Each board carries six built-in handles and a molded shovel at both ends, so you can dig out a buried tire and clear a ramp before you wedge a board under it. The double-edged design lets you slide them under a tire from either direction. The reinforced nylon flexes instead of cracking under load and has been tested to wrap fully around a 33 in tire. Material resists wheel-spin damage in normal use, and the UV stabilizer keeps the color from chalking out if you leave the boards mounted outside.
The Desert Tan colorway blends into sand and dirt instead of standing out. Two orange tell-tale leashes are included so you can find and recover the boards after a pull, even when they sink out of sight. Mounting pins and brackets are sold separately. A pair handles most stuck situations; for deep sand or heavy mud, run a set of four, one under each drive wheel. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty against faults in materials and workmanship.
