Essential Off-Road Accessories for the Trail

Heading off the pavement is one of the best ways to reach remote campsites, fishing spots and hunting grounds. The right accessories keep you moving and help you get unstuck when things go wrong.

Recovery Gear

  • Recovery boards (traction boards): slide under your tires to climb out of mud, sand or snow
  • Kinetic recovery strap: for being pulled out by another vehicle
  • Soft shackles and D-rings: to connect straps safely to rated recovery points
  • Shovel: simple but essential

Winch

A winch lets you recover yourself when no one else is around. Choose one rated at about 1.5 times your vehicle’s gross weight.

Portable Air Compressor

Airing down your tires improves traction on rough trails. A portable compressor lets you air back up before hitting the highway.

Lighting

LED light bars and pods make night driving on trails much safer.

Other Essentials

  • Tire repair kit and tire pressure gauge
  • First aid kit and fire extinguisher
  • Jump starter
  • Spare fuel and water
  • Offline maps or a GPS

Safety Tip

Never go off-road alone in a remote area. Travel with another vehicle when possible and tell someone your route.
