Really nice camera relocation on this one, plus you get to keep tow points unlike other capable bumper high winch mounts.

Capable and Mod Bumper utilize the same front bash plate so that adds up. This looks like a really good way to add a winch without dealing with any BS regarding the front camera or ACC sensor.

I wonder if Ford Performance sells this mount separately. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-1830-BM

I was wondering how GoTreads would work out. I was concerned about how the hinges would hold up over time, and if they would be too light and just shoot out. They work ok compared to the bigger, static ones?

Whoa I would be extremely upset if I lost my transfer case while off-roading. I know stuff happens but that really sucks for those guys. Oh that's great to know. I could just get a cheap bag from Amazon or use trash bags to put them in after use and they could go right back in. I have...

All I have to do is load my Bronco up with crap and I'll never get stuck, problem solved!

New colors of the Ultimate aside from black and grey?

That sucks that they cut ties with their US distributor. That explains why they've all but vanished. Do you have more of the storage bags and links coming too?

This is something I've seen quite often in review videos for traction boards. The inexpensive, more firm boards with less flex seem to work better as jacking points in soft dirt or sand.

It would appear to be a series of uh, interesting decisions that resulted in that van becoming stuck. Good on you helping them out!

Shows OOS, maybe they’ll get more. When you tried to use them, how bad were you stuck and what in? Did you dig and get them a bit under the edge of the tire like I see in videos?

I’ve read good things about Exitrax but they don’t seem to have the same availability in the US as Max, Action or ARB.

I think that soft shackles and a kinetic rope and/or tow strap are essential for sure. They're always in my tote in the back. Compressor, inflate/deflate stuff, some tools, etc.

The difference you're describing between X-Bull and Maxtrax are what I've read. Inexpensive recovery boards use more firm, brittle plastic while expensive ones use a more flexible, durable material. I am seeing a lot of pro snow, which alone would make them worth it to me. I will have...

That is exactly what I'm talking about re:the not really stuck just shovel and a couple rocks in my OP lol. Do all the people using them to get unstuck on YouTube not know how to use a shovel? Does Matt just always have a second vehicle with a winch, and therefore is spoiled for choice?

Thanks. 3x in one day, which ones did you run and how did they hold up? It sounds like they could still be useful rolling without a winch, but that a winch is preferred. I did notice that a lot of them come with leashes, apparently that's for a reason lol.

I have read an insane amount of debate on this topic on forums. I've seen many YouTube videos of people reviewing them and using them to free Tacomas, 4Runners, and Wranglers. At the same time, I see people saying they weren't really stuck or just digging and shoving a couple rocks down there is...

What brand do you run? Something off of Amazon? I've seen some nice DIY 4 tire inflators/deflators too.

Sounds good, I'll wrap anything that's sensitive. I got the Ford Performance compressor that comes in it's own box. The price was reasonable at 20% off I felt. It has some extra room for me to put anything related to air in it. Right now the duffel bag just has straps and shackles.

Cool thanks. I like how it has a nice air gauge too. I'm new to off-roading like the OP. For my first strap and shackles I just grabbed some Husky from Home Depot. Way cheaper than ARB and will be just fine until I get more serious. I'll just put all this stuff in an old duffel bag and toss it...
