TRED 800 (31"L) - $143.20/pair with FREE SHIPPING

TRED is the ultimate all-in-one off road recovery device, specially designed to get your four-wheel drive, ATV and equipment out of trouble when traction is lost in sand, mud, sludge, slime or snow.

Engineered and manufactured in Australia from only the highest quality materials, TREDs are designed to handle intense levels of torque, flex, weight and impact. Intense reviews of every fine detail in the design process make TRED the best choice for your recovery. With a designated shovel feature, extreme hex grip nodules, aggressive ramp entry teeth and ultimate wear resistant properties, TRED will allow you to explore with confidence, without letting traction disrupt your journey.

TRED is available in two sizes to ensure storage and accessibility is never an issue. Driving as a single vehicle/operator with TRED ensures you can get unstuck even on solo adventures. TRED are an essential piece of equipment for your off road recovery kit. From full scale recovery for the serious off roader to recreational family trips, or even commercial applications including mining and industrial, TRED is being tested with impressive results across all usage types.

REDs offer unprecedented ease of use and traction features and benefits at an affordable price. You can perform a solo recovery in no time at all and, more importantly, TREDs are the safest option available when compared to using straps, winches, or primitive recovery methods such as trying to stuff tree branches and timber under your tires in the hope that traction will be found.

A set of TREDs on board can save you all important time and money and also eliminate safety risks.

Count me in. I'm flexible on size and color in order to help get the group buy achieved. Preference in color would be green, pink, yellow as they would contrast Taco colors and the chemistry for black can be tricky. As for size I think the smaller ones would also fit into the trunk of my Subaru, but that's not a deal breaker.

 

Sounds good. Last I checked, green is available in both sizes, and yellow and pink only in the larger version, with pink running low. So, I will tentatively put you down for small green. Thanks!

 

Never heard of them before. No specs on the item that I can find though. I would like to know what kind of weight they could handle, and maybe see a video in action before I buy. I have seen some like these that were poor quality and broke too easily. Any info?

 

Thanks for your interest, here is some more info and they do come with a warranty as well:





Here is a link to a video I found on YouTube, nothing hardcore, but you'll get the idea:

Here is another YouTube video:

I'll check them out too and if the quality is good, I'll jump on.. I know that the Smittybuilt ones are not that great.. Maxtrax is awesome, but $$$$$...

 

That is what I was looking at. MaxTrax shows using them to cross about an 18 inch gap and how each stack changed deflection. I find a ton of traction videos on these TRED units, and they do have a good price. I am curious how they would hold up if used to breach an 18 inch wide gap.

 

I would just be using them for traction (sand mostly). Hear that the smittybuilt ones have snapped or that the lugs have broken off.. Just don't want that mess..

happy with the set i got over the summer. no action shots, but they work well and have held up well so far. used them 5-6 times probably. the key to their use is preparation. much like a laying a quality weld, without the proper preparation, you don't get very far. spend the time to dig (if needed), get them properly lined up, and adequately braced/supported (if needed), and it's a great solo extraction aid. the thing to remember, is that while they may work for smaller spans, these are NOT bridging ladders. they are traction ramps.

 

In.

one set of 800's in preferred oder; gunmetal, tan, blue or red

 

It is $44.15 for 31" or $47.65 for 42" via USPS Priority Mail (3 day), but I will discount it by $10 since others get free shipping, so $34.15-$37.65.

 

Thanks! I'm checking availability on the colors, and I'll put you down for what I can get according to your listed preferences.

 

You can get them for $150 a pair here FYI. See if you can get TJM to knock it down some more...

I saw that, but remember with free shipping, averaging about $20/set, this is a better deal.

 

Let me know if anyone else wants to get on this group buy, so I can update the list. Below are the color options that are currently available in the 2 sizes:

TRED 1100 (42")
Plenty of: Green, Black, Yellow, Blue, Desert Sand, & Gun Metal Gray
Low quantities of: Military Green, Red, & Pink

TRED 800 (31")
Plenty of: Green & Black
Low quantities of: Desert Sand, Military Green, & Yellow

 

ok, just placed my order for a pair of the 800s in Mil Grn…..

I tried getting the Carry bag but it would Jack the price to 26 for shipping….. any chance we could get a discount and/or free shipping on the Bags?

Thanks in advance

 

They aren't for bridging and/or heavier trucks. There are a couple of reviews of them on expeditionportal.com.

 

Thanks for the order! I can ship the bags and leashes for free as well. I will look into that shipping calculation since the weight of the bag is entered at only 1 lb! I will send you an invoice through PayPal for the bag and add it to your order.
