Anyone use these: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...unner-sand-lizard-rescue-trax/#.Uy26vtxg6T8qa
They look kinda like snowboards (hmm, maybe they'd work...). I asked about weight capacity, and note the response they gave (in description short bridging is possible, in answer it's not). One thing I think would be nice is that they're flat, which makes them easy to store and useful for other purposes, like some of the metal sand ladders. Like as a dog ramp. They apparently bolt right onto their roof racks. I think I'd still prefer HDPE with a traction surface, since my van is 4.5 tons, but these are sure lighter (I posted elsewhere about those industrial track mats, used in stadiums and such to cover ground for construction equipment).
And calling all engineers, I'm wondering what these are made of. I did a search on "high-density fiberglass composite material" from their description, which led me to products like Thermo-Lite board, with specs like the following, which are quite impressive (I think): http://www.spaceagesynthetics.com/files/Technical.pdf
