Overview
The MaxTrax MkII is a pair of nylon traction boards for self-recovery in sand, mud, and snow. Wedge one at the lip of each spinning tire, ease the rig onto the teeth, and drive out. No winch, no second vehicle.
Key features
- Pair of boards, each 45 in × 13 in × 3.5 in, 7.5 lbs (15 lbs the set)
- UV-stabilized reinforced nylon — flexes to wrap a 33-inch tire
- Molded traction teeth grip tire tread; ribbed underside grips terrain
- Six built-in handles per board for fast placement and carry
- Shovel blade on each end for clearing earth around a buried tire
- Rated for ~10,000 lb 4x4s; used under 15,000 lb-plus trucks in sand
Use cases
Sand, mud, snow, and soft shoulders are the daily job. Stage a board at each drive tire to climb out of a bog, or lay all four to bridge a rut. The shovel ends double as a digging tool when a tire is buried past the rim.

How much vehicle can a pair hold?
MaxTrax designs the MkII for standard 4x4s around 10,000 lbs. Owners have used them in sand under expedition trucks past 15,000 lbs. For most overland rigs there is plenty of margin.
Do they work with street or highway tires?
No. The teeth need open all-terrain or mud-terrain tread to bite. Highway tires are too smooth to engage and can shear the teeth, which voids the warranty. Run them with A/T or M/T tires.
Can I drive fast across them?
No. Spinning your wheels on the boards burns the teeth off from friction and voids the warranty. Ease onto them at idle and let the teeth do the work.
Will the red color fade in the sun?
The nylon is UV-stabilized, but long-term direct sun will fade any color and slowly break down the material. Store them in the shade or a carry bag when you are not on the trail.
How do I carry or mount them?
The boards stack flat and bolt to most roof racks and bars with mounting pins, ride in a carry bag, or hang on a rear wheel harness. Mounts are sold separately.
How do I clean them after a recovery?
Pull the board free, give it a shake or tap it on the ground to shed packed mud or sand, and stow it. No tools or rinsing required in the field.
Is FJ Red different from the other colors?
Only the color. Every MkII colorway shares the same nylon, the same teeth, the same dimensions, and the same weight. Pick the color that suits your rig or marks your set in a group.
