misterp Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Not a new idea, my dad used to make me throw straw bales into the back of the truck when it was icy out. I'll just stick with the AWD Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 i think traction bars and slicks are a better way to go myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymoney Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Unless your in the snow or ice who wants to add a bunch of weight. Especially if your runnin someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I used to just throw 2 sandbags in the back of my r/c s/b dodge, but the AWD in the SS is hard to beat... its like its built to handle snowy and icey road conditions... If i had a 2wd i might consider the suretrax. one time we bought a 4'x6'x1/2" piece of steel off a local wholesaler who found it in the back of his 1 ton dually under the tanneau... i think it weigh'd close to 500#!!! people do some interesting things around here for "extra traction" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professiona1 m0d Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have one. I live here in Chicago though, so we get winters. It helps out a lot in snow and ice, or just plain old wet pavement for that matter. Heck, it even helps to keep the rear tires from spinning. However, I wouldn't recommend this for a race application. One other thing to point out. The ones that you buy retail of these things do not have reinforced tie down corners. That super tough vinyl isn't so tough. After only 1 week of use, 3 out of 4 corners ripped. The metal o-rings used to keep the tie down straps from ripping out of the vinyl just ended up being ripped out themselves. They have a solution for this. The will send you out aluminum clamps to reinforce the vinyl corners (it basically sandwiches them) when they send you out a replacement. However, their up coming model (to be released next year) has super thick-hard plastic molded into those corners (about 1/2 an inch thick or so). After my original one ripped (the 3 out of 4 corners), I called them and they sent me out a brand new one (next year's model) to beta test for them. Either way though, if you ever have any problems, they have great customer service and are more than willing enough to take care of you! They shipped me out a brand new one, free of charge, and 2nd day'd it to me, free of charge as well. And so far after 2 months, I haven't had any problems with this new one! Like I said, they are aware of the problem and have addressed it. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
