Have you seen the other half of the video? When you have 2wd vehicle, tiny amount of ice or mud or sand can leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. These are not meant for serious off-roading. I live half my time in this 2wd Xterra and these blocks saved me now over 50 times. Especially with muddy roads after unexpected rain. I get stuck in frozen parking lots with tiny slope. That's the PITA in open differential.
Awesome illustration, have you also tried these traction belts in beach where tyres are probbaly half struck in sand ? I recently had a kind of experience and want to keep backup for next time :)
Sorry, somehow missed your question. Yes, I used them multiple times. They get chewed up on rocks and pavement but just cosmetic stuff. Fully functional for many uses.
@@troutjunkie7330 I bought 4 of these, tested it first time last weekend when I got stuck on purpose… unfortunately one of them got some functional damage at the first use already.. it’s still usable but I think it will last only one more use or so… will try to buy the TracGrabbers next time, they seem to have better build quality (and look a bit easier to attach to the tire).. will comment here when I have it tested too
Listen, why your examples showing you stuck on a road with little snow or little sand? That's not stuck that's BS.

Great review, thank you!

Hi. Would like to get this item. Do i need to purchase a pair to be attached to both rear tires or just 1 piece if i do get stuck in the mud? Thanks
I didn't even realise those vehicles came in 2WD!
Most are 2wd down south. This one came from Arizona. Up here in Michigan the 4x4 are all scrapped by now
Are these traction block durable enough for more than one use?
