In 1967 Me a friend&2 girls were in my 1959 Pontiac.....I went to turn around it was the hardest rain I had ever seen,I could feel the car sink...No phones near,Next morn a man in a nearly new Tempest gave us a pull out...a very nice&kind man,I'm still grateful😊,Not many as that nice anymore😑.
They'll work in deep mud, to a point--if you're stuck on level ground... but for really muddy, slick ground, trying to get up a hill we couldn't get them to work. The truck was an older F250, and we only succeeded in pounding the truck so hard the exhaust broke loose at the catalytic converter. We tried the truck claws twice on wet pasture land, and in neither case were they effective at moving the truck forward; they just dug very deep holes in that terrain.
I used take my girlfriends mudding . I used to get stuck in the mud all the time. So they thought. Get them in the back seat have our own fun then when we where done I'd climb back up put it in 4 wheel drive and crawl out and go home. 90% of the time worked every time.
I just bought 4 of these things! they are amazing, only $30 too! ONE single 2x4 and 4 straps at the home improvement or hardware store and youre in business.
I've been driving back roads since I was 16 ... got my 1974 Dodge Valiant stuck SO many times :) ... one of the first tools i ever bought was a medium size electric winch, (it's a 5000 pound modle) I rigged it up so it was portable, with a base plate, jumper cables, and a ball hitch ... saved my ass dozens of times since, after i got a pick up truck, I added a couple pulleys and a spare battery some rigging etc.
Mike Baxter my buddy had a diplomat that out did my friends 4x4 super duty on logging trails lol some people can’t drive we rode on top of 2 foot deep ruts and went threw some sick mud! My friend with the super duty couldn’t make its thew the ruts and they were down hill! Good memories one thing I’ll never forget
I run 18x39.5x15 superswamper boggers on my bronco. Never needed something like this... but 3 inch channel iron and 2 bolts and a ratchet strap says ill have a set just for fun.
@@nuclearjanitors 88. With 90 f350 axles. Cage off rd radius arms, deaver coils, deaver long travel leafs 6inch lift, welded diffs, 18x39.5x15 boggers, 408w , np435/np208. It's very well built and dependable
Truck claws do not work in soupy mud; found this out 11/13/18.. Duramax 2500 was on the frame in 4x4 mode completely stuck unlike in the video. The device was installed with wood in place like video and the strap broke when the device grabbed the wood. In the video the second truck surly wasn't in 4x4 in the beginning. After the claws were installed the truck was then put in 4X4 so obvious... Frame the entire truck in 4x4 and then post a vid of how good they work...
I have used these twice on a beach. They compounded the problem, the car dug itself in further both times. Very disappointed. I needed a sand jack and my trusty MAX TRAX both times to save the day.
Unless you've got a lockable diff surely you'll need two of them or the power will flood to the wheel without one on? I've improvised solutions like this with rope which have proved effective providing the ground is not ridiculously bad.
Looks like you would want to fit the extensions first up if you think you might need them. Once the claw is full of material it may not be so easy. I can see these ripping at parts of the bodywork. Offroaders tend to fit bigger tyres so there isnt much space in the guards.
That's cool, just need wheels to get the straps threw the wheel or there useless, not all trucks come with a wider open set of wheels, those are the older styles of wheels now, wonder how they work on factory wheels on snow and ice or even front wheel drive. Just to get out a ditch, would of like to see each time used with a close up video of use and have it split video screen showing how they work and propels the vehicle forward and seeing it close up working. Must be careful due to the brakes and brake lines, you can rip your brake line off and cause more issues than being stuck. Rather call a tow truck than replacing brake lines that if not noticed, then you might drive off and get into and accident now, it could be DANGEROUS if it goes wrong, I wished it explained it in video on how wrong it could go, but it didn't now, how safe are they and has anyone had them fail or cause damages to your vehicle, I've been stuck in mud like that, a 10,000 5 Ton Warn winch with a snatch block didn't get me out. It broke the cable instead. It took a few friends that went down another road that's rocky, meanwhile I jacked up my truck with a floor jack by the rear bumper, then jammed rocks into the holes, then did the front same side, also used 2by8 pieces of wood for the jack and went to other side, it took 6 hours of building a road out, winch was busted and no other trucks could get me out. No tow trucks were coming out in the woods,
Will this work on sand I got a regular ford 2014 xlt I got stuck in sand my back tires thank God someone helped me I mean thank God man I'm looking for traction on sand
what happens when the wheel goes up in the wheel well with that thing on probably won’t be pretty max tracks will probably have more use then these would
Australian accents and video from Australia yet the product is made in the USA? It seems about the easiest thing to fabricate. Thanks for the idea I will test it out on my Yoda's and Chevy truck
The first problem is that it’s a Volkswagen pickup truck, if you wouldn’t have bought such a shitty truck in the first place you wouldn’t have this issue
