I think you’d be nuts to head to Fraser Island without a set or two of MAXTRAX. Even though there’s a fair few friendly four-wheel drivers floating around fabulous, fantastic Fraser, the ability to self recover is absolutely essential. We used ours more times than we could remember.
If you’re really bogged, and you’re tired of digging, it’s handy to have a snatch strap – another must-have for Fraser Island. They use kinetic energy to yank a vehicle out of a sticky situation. Just remember to always use rated recovery points and a dampener on the strap itself as when things go wrong, they tend to happen very quickly. NEVER use a snatch strap on a tow ball.
