    Since I offroad alone at times, it's time to invest in traction boards...just for another layer of safety if I need to self-rescue.
    Looking for recommendations!

    TIA!

    Do not, under any circumstances buy X-Bull Boards. They sucks ass. Broke them on the first use. Further destroyed them on the second use. Both times it was in snow and only at 32°F or so degrees. The snow was light as I had dug out tracks to put them in.

    Don't buy cheap Amazon ones. I bought 4 when I started offroading, broke all 4 within a couple months.

    Cracked 3 of them just using them as leveling blocks

    I’m pretty sure I did the research and it’s the same plastic. By research I’m implying I saw some YouTube reviews, and googled it in different forms of the same words. The USA company ripped off max tracks design and added some teeth to the ends.

    I love GoTreads. I have used them many times and like the versatility. Anywhere from leveling to connecting multiple sets together. Plus they don't need to be mounted on the truck and are compact in the carry bag. Not to mention they have a lifetime warranty and are under $200 for a pair of the XL shipped.

    Mine is pretty nasty too, even with the shell on. I really need to give it a good cleaning so I can sleep back there.
