MAXTRAX MKII Recovery Boards, Signature Orange

A pair of MAXTRAX MKII recovery boards in Signature Orange, with two Telltale leashes. Signature Orange is the original MAXTRAX color, and MAXTRAX say it is easy to see in almost any condition.

/WHY IT IS HERE

Recovery boards get a stuck truck out with no winch, no anchor point and no second vehicle: the board goes under the tire and the truck drives out on it. I carry MAXTRAX on the 80 because you never know when you will need them. Usually it is not for the 80. It is for pulling someone else out.

/KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

• A pair, not one. Two boards and two orange Telltale leashes, which tie on so you can find a board after it sinks into sand or mud.
• Mounting pins are not included. MAXTRAX sell them separately.

/WHICH ONE

MKII ($279.99 a pair) grips with molded nylon cleats and weighs 15 lb a pair. XTREME ($439.99 a pair) sets 88 alloy teeth into the same nylon, which MAXTRAX say outlast nylon cleats under a spinning tire and can be replaced one at a time. It weighs 20 lb a pair. MAXTRAX built XTREME for jobs where heavy wheelspin is hard to avoid: racing, military and long expeditions.
