I have been out in the goldfields of WA over Summer and found myself getting caught in some pretty heavy rain. I am well equipped to get out of just about anything but when you are faced with a 2-300m stretch of boggy clay I thought there must be a easyer way of driving through. I looked on line and the only strap on device I could find was the Truckclaw at $250pair. Being originally from the high country of Vic I used to use snow chains but they are heavy and hard to install in mud. Have come up with a DIY strap on system like the truckclaw but using chain instead and 2 per tyres not just the one. Once I have put them together, (stuck at home with 2 x sub 5yo boys), I will post some picks as I am sure there will be some refinement suggestions. I estimate total cost for 2 tyres to be $50-70 and only a couple of kgs. Good insurance if you ask me. Will do the same job as maxtrax but once they are on you just keep driving till you are out!
Next post will be this week with some picks etc.
