Looks like something that would be good to have. And does not take up too much space.

Those are pretty cool.

I have seen Sand Ladders and Waffle Board Bridges sold in the US.

Do a search for Sand Ladders...

Those look pretty functional. I'd be curious on how they would fair in the mud. Not a lot of sand over here in the Northeast. I bet the guy who was looking for help getting his Voodoo out a month ago would have liked to have had these.

At home we have a Recycled Rubber Welcome Mat I have been looking at for a similar purpose.... but never needed it in the sand down here.

Look at this

Recycled Tire Mats - Bedliners, Traction Strips, Marine Matting, Kennel Mats!

Paul those look great

and from the 941 area code I am thinking they are in bradenton or sarasota......will have to look at these hard thanks man

But you do realize they are not really needed here in Florida.

I have been in lots of deep sugar sand and never got stuck in sand.

Actually I think bridging materials are much more useful and needed.

I went and purchased, and now carry, some of these

RV Leveling Blocks - Camping World

And these I HAVE used a couple of times already. Once to get off a high center stuck. Where I put them under one wheel and was able to raise my FJC enough to get over a rock I was high centered on. And once for Corey to "cheat :-)

" getting over a very steep, tall and nasty piece of limestone.

Plus, I would use them IF I did get stuck in mud or sand or something and I did not have any other one with me to pull me out.

And they are light, and come bundled in a small package.

Admittedly if used in mud or sand they might break but we will see.

a great idea it seems!

Paul.....those blocks are placed stacked and placed under RVs........do you think they would break if used to get our FJs out of mud? or sand? I mean you guys have already used these to drive the FJ over obstacles correct? they gotta be strong enough........if you didnt brake them already I dont see how using them in sand or mud would do it......just trying to understand here thanks
