Regardless of which scenario best describes your need for mats for driving on mud, yakai has the best and easiest ground protection mats that money can buy. And like most yakai products, they are easy to install.

Most of the mats for driving on mud are relatively easy to install. Take the Mud Tracks Ground Protection Mat, for example. These mats have rope handles, so they can easily be pulled out of the back of a pick up truck and placed over mud, sand, swamp or other areas in need of a solid, tractioned surface. These have optional steel connectors available if you want to use them, providing maximum traction as a portable road or driveway on which you can now drive under control.

Simply have them on the back of your UTV, and take them off – overlapping or placing them next to each other when needed. It’s as simple as that, and manageable for one person. The smaller size of these mats make them a feasible solution for smaller jobs than those required for large, heavy equipment.
