late 1970s I was sitting at a remote beach feeling so proud of my TOYOTA FJ40 negotiated all the soft sand when a old Holden station wagon pulled up with four surfers 🏄‍♀on board with four scaffolding planks using teamwork they drove onto two planks then placed the next two in front then repeat till the ground was good enough to drive on

[@everettstormy]

Sounds about right lmao, it's all about ingenuity

[@patroln48]

Clever thinking by Maxtrax! There's definitely a market for them. Great tests! It's hard to imagine what else you could have done to them according to off-road situations. An excellent Australian-made quality product!

[@BTBSean0]

Would be great if you could stack with the mk2 ..that way you get lighten up the 4 but still have 2 longer ones to get you going ...Great Info Ronny

[@Luceq]

These are perfect for keeping in a soft roader for beach emergencies…

[@stevezodiac575]

That was impressive! This Lite option definitely fills a gap in the market and will do well I'm sure! Great video!

[@rahalati]

Being new makes a big difference. Exposure to heat, sun and other weather elements for long time surely will change most of these tests' results.

[@Ante770]

That would happen to anything tho , your talking about a few years in the constant sun for the materials they are made of

[@benjaminnissen7977]

I used to use a flat piece of wood. Worked better than nothing. This is impressive what it can handle. Thanks for the test. I’m using my mk2s for my son’s electric kids 4WD, god he loves a good recovery!

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic info Ronny and well tested, Will have to keep my eye out for these

[@taurota1554]

awesome content as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@PhillipMcCallum]

I would like a video on roof load and some examples. I don't do any real 4x4 in my rav4 . But i find roof loads interesting especially how it changes 9n different surfaces. Great video, thanks for your time

[@maverick2242]

I’m surprised when you hit the Lite at 80 the Flux capacitor didn’t kick in and take you Back to the Future! If ya know ya know!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Yeah but it wasnt 88mph :D

[@oggyoggy1299]

What?

[@chrisfanchier2318]

After some time doing some thinking, I am going to get two pairs for my WD21. Thankfully the vehicle is fairly light to begin with and it helps with storage.

[@chrispage3261]

Yet another top quality video Ronny. With some good information about the lites. Top stuff.

[@gaz8410]

Welcome back Brian!!

[@craigquann]

I pick up 2 sets of knock off Maxx Trax (not branded) from my local Princess Auto (a franchise hardware/tool/farm supply store in Canada) a couple years ago. For $100 a set a few years ago. I don't use them much. But they do the job. Even used them to level my 3 ton travel trailer/caravan. Handy investment.

[@darrenseeley1422]

I have six regular ones and two minnes for levelling the camper and one jockey wheel skid, wouldn't go without them and they've been used alot.

[@p9raceway759]

Will Fire to Fork cook for RD & crew in future episodes ?

[@TerraIndomitus]

These would be great for a set to keep on camper trailer and a full set of normal size for the car. That would be my advice

[@slowmomma7222]

i just got a set cos they were half the price of the big ones and they fit nicely behind the back seats on my dmax so i dont have to worry about mounting them or having them slide around in the tray

[@guidon.5413]

I'd love the lights, but my vehicles are just too heavy. Have a Land Cruiser 79 with a FiftyTen cabin with four original boards. And a Jeep Gladiator with an AluCab Canopy Camper, which currently has two Maxtrax Extreme boards. If I had to get more boards, I might add some smaller ones in a different place on the truck (both trucks have them on the roof rack, both are very top heavy, both are not used in very difficult terrain, but definitely in sand.

[@el-drachoontour3071]

Impressive! This is exactly how I think a good test should be. Thanks.

[@TheSkskitey]

The Lites look okay for my Suzuki Vitara . A question , I don't leave them on top of my vehicle but you see a lot of people just leave them on their roof rack exposed to the sun , how many years do they last before they go brittle and break ?

[@UncleFjester]

Orange boards left on display is for Cosplay Fauxverlanders in So Cal

[@Kapetanic]

Just thinking, for the same price, would 4x Lites be better than 2x Mark 2's ? That's 3.6m (Lite) vs 2.3m (Mark 2) of total track length. Have options like can put one under each wheel or string together, Can easily store in vehicle instead of on roof if needed etc etc.

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

Good question. It would come down to whether you’re thinking of getting any long tracks in future. Since if you get 4 lites you won’t want to buy another pair of long tracks. But then you’d lose a bit of length on individual tracks which you could need to get out of a bog. IMO 2 lites and 2 mk2 or extremes should be a good overall setup. But YMMV

[@blakeoswald7840]

Another small pro for people in small towns is they are sub 1m so AU post can deliver, I had to get my maxtrax sent through carrier

[@piotrs7085]

Omg when was the last time when we saw this JK on the channel? A decade ago? I think I need to go back to those videos.

[@neilfrasersmith]

Didn't use the flame thrower on it. Fake test.

[@craigquann]

It's Australia... why would you want to cool them off?

[@coffeeandlifting]

The real question is, for the weight/cost, is it better to have two pairs of Lites, or one pair of MKII's?

[@FreedomPhukyeah]

I just paid $320 for 2 pairs of lites. Vs paying $260 for 1 pair of Mk2. 2013 bt50 single cab 4x4.

[@BushCity]

I’ll get a pair thanks Ronnie & 4 Wheelling😊

[@markbergman2342]

really hate that they adjusted the MKI -> mkII size slightly. Had a set (didn't realise mk1 / mk2), bought a mounting solution and a extra set (MK2) had to file the MK1's to size to fit on the same mounting, and only with the MK1 on the bottom and the mk2's on top I can fit 4 boards to the designated mounting pins....

[@netsiteing]

Have you tested the Bunker Indust recovery boards? I’ve seen those used in the USA but wonder how they stack up.

[@dgiroday1]

The Max Trax Lites are really for crossovers and small 4x4s.

[@ian9toes]

I’m sold on these for my AWD Hiace import, and leave my extremes on my Patrol roof.

[@CM-ef8fu]

Perfect for my Subaru Forester i guess!

[@JRCadventures]

I also tested the heck out of them and highly rate them. They fill a great gap in the market!

[@RBFR01]

I'd love to see some modified videos on the Suzuki Jimny.

[@Sh4dow682]

Another great video by Ronny!

[@maxgood42]

2 x MK2's VS 4 x Lite's ? could be a thing ? For example the FJ could hide 4 of the Lite's on board with a fridge and a swag without a roof rack and would make a very capable and efficient multi-tool.

[@entropyachieved750]

Interesting as always

[@UncleFjester]

*NICE FJ!*

[@aliebenberg6668]

Crazy to see how much abuse it took! Maxtrax are great boards!

[@t-boy-maximus8333]

Sweet, thanks Ronnie 😊

[@MicahBell_1860]

If I had a Zook, I'd definitely go lite

[@TheLukaszpg]

Ronny, are you still working for maxtrax?

[@hititoffroad4545]

Handy bit of kit

[@ryansmith9283]

Would have been great to see back to back comparisons between the boards in the same situation

[@Ronny_Dahl]

There is a video on that already, think its linked in that video already. Did it 2 years ago with lots of different brands too

[@ryansmith9283]

I meant lite vs mk2

[@ryansmith9283]

I meant lite vs mk2

[@ryansmith9283]

[@ryansmith9283]

I meant lite vs mk2

[@VietPho]

Maxtrax lite any good for 1999 camry le v6?

[@thomasdowns777]

I can't find the lites online, I'm in arizona, could it be an Australian market only?

[@Ronny_Dahl]

I'd dare say they are coming to USA

[@thomasdowns777]

@Ronny_Dahl I hope so, I have an off brand because they are better than nothing. But I'd like a pair of these for my tacoma. They don't yet ship to the US either. I'm going to keep an eye out.

[@markaxton2032]

Could the lites be good for a camper trailer or hybrid van?

[@robertbernal7325]

No that's to much weight

[@flamestar557]

Lol this makes me want to have a jeep but I'm poor af

[@VintageWanderer]

Found some used ones on like like Marketplace. Most people that buy these they never get used. Found a pair for $80 hardly used.

[@Sh4dow682]

But Jeeps are rubbish..

[@justindavis1546]

Looks like I'll be getting a set of Lite for my Subaru.

[@erichughes9098]

😎👍

[@mikecagle984]

Just what is "the next level" I keep hearing everyone parroting off each other? Is it next level up, or down? Say your in a ten-story building with a basement and you are on the fifth floor but you wanr to go to "the next level". But that level goes down instead of up? Is this a good or bad thing?

[@slowmomma7222]

the next one is going up, the previous level is down. How is this even a question

[@oggyoggy1299]

*you’re* And it depends if you want to go up or down.

[@booargy]

paying to have your ads forced on people is a maggot act

[@Tophet1]

Those prices are atrocious.

[@Rampart.X]

I replace missing teeth with stainless steel screws.

[@colmherbie8261]

seriously Ronny, if your getting paid from maxtrax for this vid then "fair play", you need to make money. otherwise your being sucked in to a "gimmick" brought to you by maxtrax. If your going to carry recovery boards then why would you even consider the 'lite's". just carry the usual ones for all occasions-job done. It's a gimmick!

[@craigquann]

How is it a gimmick. Ronnie is obviously going to keep and use the regular ones as he uses them frequently and probably sponsored so he gets them free or cheap. However for the average person who goes on 1-2 small adventures a year, save the money for fuel and beer as the lites will get the job done. You're talking $240 or more in savings for a set of 4. That's at least a tank of go go juice a case of wobbly pops.
