Post by: wilson79 on January 11, 2018, 03:26:17 PM: Would work better with one on each wheel..

Do you know what they are worth?

Good to see that there are more alternatives on the market now that reduce the need to do a snatch recovery.

Yes it has gone Missing .. Pretty sure our local Autobarn store had some almost identical ones n stock the other day .. From memory about $80 for a pair ..
For what its worth .. Buy a 4 pak of Ratchet straps [ will clog up with mud & sand though ] trim the webbing to desired length ... Cut 4x 200 or 250 mm lengths of 50x50x3mm Gal Angle iron weld two flats / chain links to suit the webbing size on the undersides of each OR drill some holes near the ends and run some 6mm bolts with washers and Nylock nuts for a NO weld option and run the straps over that to hold them against the tire.

Post by: lloydus67 on January 12, 2018, 02:27:15 PM: As rumpig said, lower tyre pressure and he probably would not even get bogged, there was plenty of other tyre tracks, so most clearly were not getting bogged.
Stop spinning wheels when you stop moving, let some more air out, shovel away sand from low points and possibly use max tracks or another version and you would be out very easily and quickly
