Maxtrax MKII Recovery Boards - Green - Qty 2

Video Transcript for Review of Maxtrax Traction Boards - MK2 Recovery Boards Lime Green - MA45PR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these MAXTRAX MKII recovery boards. Now, these two lime green recovery boards are going to give you traction when your tires are bogged down in the snow, slush, sand, or mud, and the rows of traction teeth provide a surface that your tires can grip onto. Now, this lime green color makes a really good alternative to MAXTRAX's signature orange color, and I went ahead and measured these earlier before our time together. The overall length from end to end is right at 45 inches long.

The overall width from end to end, we're sitting right at about 13 inches wide. And then the overall height from bottom to top, we're sitting right at about three inches. Now, these boards do nest on top of each other for easier storage, so as you can see, it drops right on top of the other one. And giving you just a closer look here from another angle, I just wanted to show you once you have these nested together, they don't take up a whole lot of space at all. So these are gonna be very easy to store.

It's also going to be a great way to transport them. So that's a nice feature that these boards offer. And the UV stabilized fiber reinforced nylon construction makes these boards lightweight but very strong. They're gonna be light enough to easily haul in and out of your vehicle. Each board weighs about 7-1/2 pounds, but they're going to be heavy duty enough to bear the full weight of your vehicle without breaking.

I wanted to show you, I'm gonna flip this one over. On either end, these can be used as a shovel to allow you to remove excess earth to help you get unstuck quicker. It's actually labeled here on either end here. It's a shovel there. So again, just another additional feature that makes these boards very useful to you.

These also have built-in handles, as you probably saw. Let me go back overhead here and line these up. So you can see on either side of the boards, there are three handles for a total of six handles on each board, and that's going to allow you to easily transport these and also easily grab them when you're done using them. Also included are these leashes. You're going to receive two of them and I have them bundled up here just to save me some space on my table. But these leashes are gonna be really handy in case you are using these boards in terrain that you know that can get easily buried when you're trying to recover your vehicle. So you can attach one of these leashes onto your boards. And then when you're done using it, if it is buried, you can use that leash to pull that out of the terrain that you're using it in. Plus, these leashes are bright orange, so they're going to be very visible. Also on our boards, we do have these keyhole accessory points that's going to allow you to securely mount the boards. MAXTRAX also provides pins that are sold separately that you can use to secure on your crossbars or your rack. And those pins are designed to work in those keyhole accessory points. Now, these do have a lifetime warranty. And again, this is in a lime green color, but we also have many other color options available along with different styles and different sizes. One final thing I wanted to mention is MAXTRAX also has a carry bag for the MKII recovery boards. So if you're not going to mount these on your vehicle and you think you're gonna store these in your vehicle, let me recommend taking a look at this carry bag. This is going to prevent mud and sand and dirt and other things that might cling to these boards from getting into your vehicle. You can just slide these boards into that bag and then put that bag into your vehicle and not have to worry about getting your vehicle dirty. So if you're interested in taking a look at that bag, on your screen, I am including our item number. You can just take that item number, put it in the search field of our website, and that will take you to that bag and you can add it to your order if you so desire. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
