You may think you know what the best off road truck accessories are, but chances are, your pack is missing a few of the essentials. These essentials are underrated but can take your thrill levels to a whole new level.
Tire Deflator
Big, beefy tires have their purpose, but when in deep sand or on rock, it’s best to let a little air out of them. You never know when you’re going to run across terrain that requires deflated tires, so it’s best to always carry a deflator with you.
Tire Inflator
It only makes sense that if you need to deflate your tires at any point of your ride, you’ll eventually need to re-inflate them. Make sure you have the accessories necessary to do so.
Traction Mats
If your tires still get stuck despite deflating them a bit in sand or stone, use your traction mat. While it’s nice to think the old floor mat under the tire trick works, it doesn’t.
Folding Shovel
Another trick you can use for when your rig gets stuck in the muck? Dig it out. Don’t carry a bulky yard shovel with you, though. Invest in a foldable one for maximum storage capacity.
Winch
So far, all these accessories serve the purpose of getting yourself unstuck, and for good reason. When out on the trails, the risk of nature trapping you is very real. Hydraulic winches are some of the toughest available, making them the perfect partner on your next trip. Don’t forget your cable hoist or come along to go with it.
