Mine are a bit sad compared to thesed_generate wrote:
I'll take photos tomorrow when I'm back at the shed. I used 2 milk crates, ground all the sides off (severely burned all up both arms with melted plastic ) and then zip tied 3 faces together in a line and then half of 1 under each join (similar to what 6076 tried to describe) and then heavy ass zip ties to hold it all together.
Thinking about putting a length of 3/4" box steel up either side and zipping them on for some more rigidity, but they do fine as is.
My first set was knocked off as well, clearly we are too good at what we do

Havent used mine yet but all I did was cut the bases off 6 milk crates (3 per wheel) & loosely zip tie them together so they can fold & store neatly. I'll put up some photos when I can....

Grinder was pretty keen though! Handsaws cut through them easily enough.
Steel sounds pretty heavy! I always thought about Sikaflexing the 5 parts together then ziptieing them even more together.
I'll make some someday when I need them. Keen on those piccies!
Otter the 2004 Outback with all the fruit.

I would emphasis the TREKs as 'something similar' but would not call them alike. They are cheaper because they aren't as good in strength as the Maxtrax.TOONGA wrote:Auto one has them or something very similar for around 250 dollars, but thats 250 dollars I could spend on bills or food
Personally for the Subaru (due to their lightness) I would just a set of these...

I'm not a seller of these Maxtrax but after seeing how Guyph's car was buried, there was nothing homemade that was getting him out. I guess if you don't drive like a retard then you shouldn't need the better quality ones.
