Recovery tracks

 

Hey Phillip! hope you (and everyone else here) had a good new years. and I need to get a set of those tracks one of these days. was playing around with a buddy in some suger sand couple days ago. wasn't to impressed with crawl control since I was going up a bank at a creek about 20 feet high but it only worked for a few feet (farther then the jeep made it) so I ended up sending it to make it up.

 

@m603holden will know a lot more about those things. Max has been in the market for some. Any info I can give will just be from what I've read on here. I've never even seen any in person.

I do have some in my Amazon cart from reading a thread here

$108 X-BULL New Recovery Traction Tracks Sand Mud Snow Track Tire Ladder 4WD (Red,3gen)

oh the joys of reading stuff here then going to Amazon and building a wishlist. haha. ive got so much I want to do with the taco but not enough moneys. always bout that moneys.

 

I know the feeling. I just got a Martin roof rack for mine(Prinsu inspired ). I think my next project will be to make a camper shell rack to match. I priced out the supplies at around $300. Hopefully I will get monies back from Uncle Sam this year and can use a bit of it for the rack

 

pic of the rack mounted?? And I just have to much I want to do. looking at a 3in lift, 33s, front bumper (really loving the honeybadger) winch, steel skids, steal rear hi clearance bumper, vhf radio, some extra lighting and a bed rack. oh and sliders (like the preditors esp since they saved my doors a few times offroad but hang to low and get caught to easy).

 

Here's mine I'm gonna let a buddy get the measurements and make a CAD file so I can make side plates for my camper shell.


This is from the thread

That much trouble eh? Even locked out and in low? I got the Maxsa boards . They bend a bit better in the colder weather . The other way is the Treds. The nice part about treds is a lifetime warranty . But they have been known to break . Not an issue if you're cool with the waranty side.

 

that truck. omg. I want. maybe not those rims though... rack looks awesome. going to have to check them out on price. install seem easy from what you have seen?

 

not so much trouble yet. just goofing off with some buddys trying to see what the truck can do. though, everyone was surprised when I had some water come over my hood. then they remembered I'm not lifted like they were and I yelled at them I'm not in a submarine so stop trying to flood me. haha. those traks look nice. just need something for some protection with the mud and such down here in FL.

 

It mounts the same way a Prinsu does. The only difference is it has 2 extra tie down holes and shorter spacers(sits closer to the roof). The one I ordered was $300 cheaper than the same Prinsu.

 

Those should help. And a good snatch strap if needed. I've yet to get stuck in this truck on anything I didn't high center on.

I've got the MT, so I normally just use the locker, A-TRAC and drop to 18psi , and that gets me everywhere on my duratracs

 

But the Minsu hole makes all the difference.

 

ya I'm reading thru the thread right now. shits got my laughing people complaining about rip off at first. they look great. just not sure what I would use it for besides a reason to put some lights up there.

 

Mount your cooler to it so when you submarine your truck you can still get to the beer

 

Which means.....no carbon copy

I wanted it for my kayak.

 

so after I got stuck in the mud back in NOV. I got a rhino usa strap (figured better then nothing) and then my brother got me a bubbarope for xmas. but I also don't air down yet since I haven't needed to. (got stuck in a mud hole that I slid into).
