It is more fun with four wheels.
MaxTrax
I again found in the 2009 Australian 4x4 magazine the MaxTrax. What is MaxTrax?
It is an innovative extraction and recovery device invented by Australian 4WD enthusiasts. It is a reliable simple but rugged system that you simply insert underneath your vehicle tires, you let your vehicle tires roll over maxtrax, and once you gain traction, you have recovered. You may not need winching or towing. Ingenious yeah, Mate?

No need for jacks? or shovels, and you can recover alone using your own vehicles power. It works well in sand, mud and snow too.

Hiclone Engine Performance booster
It is more fun with four wheels.
From Hicloneqld
I came across this ad of hiclone which claims 23% better fuel economy and 15 % more power. The idea is that the swirling effect created by the device works like a turbo by causing faster air intake. The device works better if used with hi flow air cleaner like K & N.
Before I made many of this made from: soft drinks cans, milk and sardines can, and GI sheets. You have to keep this very clean though. The difference in performance in actual use is not palpable. Nothing works better than a turbo.
