Here's more pictures. Hand holds are smooth and they stack just fine.

Thanks for posting these!!!
Got mine last night. Unfortunately I won't be able to try them out any time soon as I'll be out of town till mid March.
I can't compare them to the competition as I don't own any others. They seem sturdy and we'll made. Multiple hand holds and they do indeed stack/nest together fairly well. The tread pattern is very aggressive. They have holes to attach recovery lanyards or lines.
Can't wait to see some real world reviews from others that get theirs.
I don't expect these to be as good as Maxtrax. I've set my expectations pretty low. BUT, if they are like Harbor Freight sockets and work just as well as Snap-on, for much much cheaper, then I'll be a happy camper/overlander.
I'm almost tempted to just order a 2nd pair.

Got mine last night! So far I'm impressed. They stack amazing. Feel great. Now to use them ... how are you guys mounting these? Anyone know if the "maxtrax" mounting pins will work on them?
This was all I needed, just placed my order! Awesome deal

Got mine tonight. They look like I will probably order another set! Measure 11 3/16 from center of the hole to center of the hole if anyone happens to know what maxtrax mounts measure.
I tried the speedmasters out this afternoon, well, kinda. The snow is receding fast. I drove around the yard at work trying to get stuck. The best I could do was back in and feather the throttle a bit to lose traction enough to sink. I threw the boards under my rear tires (was in 2wd) and was able to back right out. They work!

Hey everyone, I called SpeedMasters a bit ago and I confirmed they have a will call for us here in SoCal. They are located in Rialto, CA. Might not be beneficial for those who live further where shipping would be cheaper.
If you call in, ask for Anthony @ ext 113. He will get you a good price.
I am going to pick a set this week.

So, has anyone used these more than once? They look good and all leaned against a rig, but, a couple two three uses will really show if they are any good.

I just ordered a pair. I was planning on building my own bridging ladders, but this ultimately seemed like too good a deal to pass up.
Do you guys think they are sturdy enough for bridging when stacked?
If so, I might buy another pair. My other option is to build a simple aluminum "ladder" that can be nested against the bottom for bridging. I would probably build the ladders to double as a camp table or perhaps a platform /shower stand.

Just got mine today!
I will be thoroughly testing these on Sunday with multiple different trucks. Hopefully they work as well as they look

mine just showed up yesterday. I was hoping to test it out on the snow but all that white stuff will pretty sure be gone by this weekend (hitting 60s). Fits nicely on the roof rack and it's black so it's pretty low-key.
Trail tested and approved!!!
Took the Speedmaster traction tracks out yesterday in some very muddy terrain and the track helped save my FJC and two pickup trucks get out of very slippery situations!
Don't have any pictures/videos of them in use (was too muddy myself to touch a camera) but I have attached the "after" pictures!
I think I'm going to be ordering myself a second set before they hike the prices again!
