![]() ![]() THOROUGHLY INSPECT WHEEL WELL TO MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE HAS SUFFICIENT CLEARANCES.Do not drive over 5 mph while Trac-Grabbers are installed.Loose Trac-Grabber may cause damage to the vehicle!DO NOT INSTALL STRAP THROUGH OPENING NEAR TIRE VALVE STEM! Feed the end of the strap through the “D” rings, PULL TIGHT, and secure the strap with the Velcro to prevent slippage. Feed the loose end of the strap through an opening in the wheel from the back side. With strap inserted through the slot in the Trac-Grabber, hold the Trac-Grabber on the wheel perpendicular to the tire tread with “D” rings on outside facing you. TIGHTLY secure one Trac-Grabber to each drive wheel.+ INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO GET YOUR CAR UNSTUCK Drive in REVERSE or FORWARD, whichever is the direction of least resistance and shortest direction BACK to stable terrain.*.If you are unsure, check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine whether your vehicle is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. “Drive” wheels are the wheels which receive power from the engine and transmission. Install Trac-Grabber on both “drive” wheels.Once the vehicle is unstuck and on solid terrain, Trac-Grabber should be removed from wheels. Trac-Grabber is not designed for extended driving.If Trac-Grabber becomes loose, stop immediately and retighten.The hubcaps should be removed prior to use. + DOES TRAC-GRABBER FIT ON VEHICLES WITH STEEL WHEELS AND HUB CAPS?Īs long as there are holes in the wheel for the strap to go through they will fit on steel wheels. ![]() When mounting TRAC-GRABBER on front wheels, keep wheels as straight as possible. Check all body parts as well as brakes and suspension components. Important: THOROUGHLY INSPECT WHEEL WELLS TO MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE HAS SUFFICIENT CLEARANCES for TRAC-GRABBER STRAPS to make a full and unobstructed rotation. but the dang thing weighs so much I never bother taking it with me anymore, with my limited space in a JK.How to use the Trac-Grabber + RULES FOR USING TRAC-GRABBER I bought a sand anchor a few years ago for winching when there's no trees. Probably, without the grabbers he could have just shoveled for the same amount of time he spent shoveling and attaching the grabbers, and the truck would have come out.īottom line: I'd never rely on these, but they could be a decent extra tool to have in the back if you're planning to be in snow or beach. Generally, that's all you need to get out anyway. Or maybe it was going to do that anyway if he had tried without the grabbers for as long as he did with the grabbers?īut the really telling thing in the snow video - the guy had two long-handle shovels to work with. The second case it did look like maybe they were making just enough more grip that the truck dug its way out because of them. In other words, clearly the truck didn't need the grabbers because the tires never spun even when the grabbers were in the air. I laughed at the snow video above in the first instance, the truck moves just fine for the half-rotation needed to get the grabber down to the bottom and in contact with the snow. Both of those come in lots of different flavors. Probably a lot depends on the consistency of the stuff you're stuck in also, whether sand or snow. If you're " " that close to getting out without them, they could give the little bit extra you need to change the traction equation enough to dig your way out. I suspect the supply just a little more traction than the tires have without them.
