Range Rover Blues:
That cracking noise is delamination, the structure of the grp breaking down.  I don't think the 38mm ones are really strong enough.  In the pictures above you can see them being used double thickness which is a good idea.  For the cost (£32) it's cheaper to get 2 pairs of the thinner ones and have more flexibility in their deployment.  On grass or mud where they are supported they can safely be used singularly.  Ultimately every time I've got them out I've found them no help, other than as a jack base or to stop me slipping on my a**e :roll:

muddyweb:
That doubling up is to reduce the approach angle as much as anything else...   on a steep slope like that (especially on vehicles with long noses) you can't always get the wheel on before you hit the wall.

I've been using 38mm for years and I reckon they are strong enough.  (The good ones are at least)


These are 38mm :  

So are these :


Not hugely clear pictures, but hopefully it will give an idea.
