Plus, with the ice and snow I drive through in Montana, the big rubber block will have much more bite. The rope would probably work, but I think the strap is easier to cinch down. My jeep won the war so your Honda cuts my grass Zip! You're out! Shake out the mats, put 'em back, and you're good to go! Take out a couple of floor mats and put them under the drive wheels. What I think is they are another viable tool to carry should you find yourself in a bad way. I don't think these are marketed to replace chains. These straps work on everything, including a stranger's stuck vehicle I roll up to. And the weight added to each vehicle doesn't make sense.
I would have to get chains for each one of my vehicles, which would be costly. When we went to Yellowstone in May, I bought slip through chains that attach the same way. If you need to drive down a road for any distance get some chains.
If you are just trying to get unstuck, then use rope. Not as good as 4x4, but still will get a motorhome unstuck. This makes me want to see about a bumper mounted wench. It always got us out as far as I remember. I remember Dad winding binder twine around the wheels and tires if we got stuck in snow-which was rare. Our first Family Car was a Ford Model A which Mom and Dad drove until 1954. Took about 45 minutes, including time to print out Daddy's Rescue Service signs for my car windows, and I got her out with ye old tow strap.Ģ005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total lossĪfter a semi "nicked" it. Gee When My Daughter got her car stuck she ha a boyfriend dig out to the attach point and called Daddy's rescue Service. The look of shock on his face as he rolled his truck out onto the road was priceless. I pulled out my pocket knife and tied 3 loops around each wheel and told him to drive his truck out of my way, I was late. He pointed at my SUV and snickered 'With THAT?' Years back a guy in a big 4 x 4 diesel p/u got stuck in our private road, when I pulled a chunk of 3/4" yellow poly rope out he gave me the 'Whatcha gonna do with THAT?' line, I told him I was going to get him out. $5 worth of rope tied around the wheel in exactly the same manner does the same thing.Īnd you won't be too upset when the brake rotor cuts it in half on the 5th revolution.
Looks like it's less likely to cause damage than the old metal chain type straps. That type of traction device has been around a long time. Guess a person would need to check closely for clearance before purchase. But a lot of vehicles have the brake caliper way inside the wheel close to the rim, and that strap would hit the caliper. Looks like they would work on some cars/trucks.

I researched Trac-Grabber on their website, but ultimately found them with free shipping on Amazon. Now the next time I get stuck in the ice, snow or mud, I should be able to rescue myself in a matter of minutes. How frustrating?Īfter this most recent time of getting stuck, I decided to pick up a pair of Trac-Grabbers. I first tried to pull out the two wheel drive car out with my 4x4 Silverado, but I too got stuck in the ice and snow. My teenage son got his mother's car stuck in the ice & snow last week, and it took about 45 minutes to get him unstuck. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: General RVing Issues: Trac-Grabber Open Roads Forum
