    Funny, where are all the witch hunters?!?! I thought there would be someone complaining that these guys are ripping off max tracs! Same color and everything, haha.

    This could so easily be the VTX vs SCS thread.

    Anyway, those look like they'll pack up with mud and sand in the center section. It doesn't look like it will be too effective in recovery compared to other traction ramps.

    There was a fairly recent comparison done on four brands of recovery mats. Worth a read if you are considering a purchase, IMO.

    I agree it's a tad bit different biggest difference is how they stack

    Nice vid, thanks.
    I personally have only had the opportunity to try max tracs. While I don't think that they were super helpful in recovery, (Clay/mud, uphill, and raining) they sure stood up to some abuse. Even smoking the tires on them. I'd purchase them if in the market. Other traction ramps sure do have their place, though. Especially at a price that low.

    Two sets for less than the price of one set MSRP.

    Yeah I just now bought a pair, the lowest I've seen in my Amazon cart was 135 then yesterday 124 now 114... so now I bought it before Amazon jacks the price back up. But if op gets it under $105 then I'll buy another set for my wife's Wrangler
