Maxtrax

[theBEAR]

*** UPDATE *** I'm sorry guys but [MENTION=46138]chmura[/MENTION] was right. MAXTRAX is not going to honor any Group Buys for the time being. MAXTRAX USA is having trouble keeping stock levels right now so giving us a discount is not in their best interests. This Group Buy is officially over.


If you are already thinking about picking up a set of these and can commit to BUYING a pair or a few pair of MAXTRAX please let me know via PM or response to this thread. I was surprised to see all of the options on their website so lets start with #1 How many pairs of MAXTRAX you want and #2 What color. If you want any accessories let me know.

Interested, but have a Maxtrax usage question and the Google isn't helping much. I regularly sleep in the back of my 4Runner and leveling it is sometimes a PITA. Would Maxtrax inclined on a rock or branch be suitable for overnight load bearing, or would they flex and eventually break with that sort of longterm load? Would appreciate any insight or experience someone might have.

John Bradshaw this is a pair of Maxtrax I bought 3 years ago I wanted to see if they really were worth the $ I paid for them and if it was worth using them with the mog. I still have them they are just as good as when i bought them. they have been used on dump trucks, various 4x4s and a couple of tractors

You can find this post ^^^ on Mid-Atlantic Overland Society on FB (its a closed group but you shouldn't have any trouble getting in). This guy has a picture of a MOG resting on a pair of MAXTRAX. I'm not sure how long he had the MOG resting on them, but he said he put a weight on them, left them out in the sun for a day and they were good as new. Still nested and couldn't tell them apart from his other MTs.

I was at the Overland Expo East last year and I saw a couple people leveling out their RTT and expo rigs with MTs so I would say they are good to go. That is a 4-5 day event for vendors.

Don't think so...

These, like others, are designed to be used as a supported traction mat. Bridging is not recommended. If you use them to raise a wheel, and they are supported where the tire sits, you will be fine.

I'm surprised at the lack of interest :/

 

[Dark Lord]

Depending on the discount I'd be interested in a pair of MKII safety orange with the wheel harness.

Me too.....

Same, but red or orange and depending on discount.

 

[wadle5]

Depending on a discount I would be interested in another pair. One thing I realized it I have a set of Treds, but I realized quickly for quicker, better extraction I need 2 more to help out better.

No kidding. Maybe everybody who would use MTs was out offroading over the weekend and not online. hahaha. Looks like its picking up now.

^^^ Exactly.

UPDATED: I was contacted by a T4R member who told me about a MT GB on a Tacoma forum last year. That GB was able to negotiate $50 off per pair so that is what I am hoping for. I will provide updates as they become available.

Yeah I recall seeing a GB in the past where they were $200 a set vs $300.

Yes, depending on how badly you are stuck two pair will make the job much easier.

I have looked into the mounting pins because I am interested in them as well. It looks like some drilling will be required, but more information can be found in this discussion on T4R.ORG http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/188232-maxtrax-mounting-options.html and on the MT webpage Mounting Pin Set Instructions | MAXTRAX

There was a very recent GB for Maxtrax on Expedition Portal forms under the Recovery Gear Equipment section.

Lots of lots of interest there for purchasing Maxtrax. So the vendor said he would do a GB. Out of no where he posts a GB thread for just the first 50 sales. 3 hours later the GB was closed due to hitting the 50 sales. The vendor deleted that thread once the GB was over to hide the pricing posted.

I was one of the lucky ones to make that GB and purchase a set of Maxtrax. Lots of people there were upset that the GB finished so early. Looks like he does not want to have another GB either. These items are very very hot with limited quantities in North America. It will be very hard to get them to do another GB again unfortunately.

The GB was about 1 month ago.

 

[TeamFlex]

Gb

Can you PM the GB price?

I'm in if it's a go. (I'm picking up a pair anyway.)

Thanks for sending this our way. As I said, I'm one who always seeks to bargain so I will contact the distributors and see if they are interested. If they tell me to go jump in a lake, they tell me to go jump in a lake.

I do recognize that limited quantities will be the biggest factor here. There is no reason to give us a discount if they have people lined up to pay full price.

Pricing

Depending on the final price I would buy a pair with pins.
