BUNKER INDUST Off-road Traction Boards with Jack Base,Pair Recovery Track 4X4 Jeep Truck Emergency Tire Traction Mat with Bag -Sand, Mud, Snow Tracks Black Traction Pad (Gen 7th)

I recently got my hands on the BUNKER INDUST Off-Road Traction Boards with Jack Base, and they have exceeded my expectations. Here’s a rundown of my experience with these recovery tracks: First Impressions When I first unboxed the BUNKER INDUST Traction Boards, I was impressed by their rugged build. The boards feel solid and well-constructed, designed to handle tough off-road conditions. The addition of the jack base is a clever feature that enhances the versatility and functionality of these tracks. Ease of Use Using these traction boards is straightforward. The design includes strategically placed traction cleats that provide excellent grip, making them effective for digging out tires stuck in mud, sand, or snow. The jack base is a fantastic addition, allowing for easier lifting of the vehicle when combined with a suitable jack. This feature adds an extra layer of convenience when dealing with tricky situations. Performance The real test came during a recent off-road adventure. The BUNKER INDUST boards performed exceptionally well. They provided the traction needed to get my vehicle unstuck from a challenging spot, and the boards didn’t buckle or bend under pressure. The integrated jack base made lifting the vehicle easier, which was a big plus in a tough recovery scenario. Durability So far, the durability of these traction boards has been impressive. They are made from high-quality materials that seem built to withstand harsh conditions. I’ve used them on rough terrain and through mud, and they’ve shown no signs of wear or damage. They are also easy to clean, which is a nice feature after a muddy recovery. Value for Money For the price, the BUNKER INDUST Off-Road Traction Boards offer excellent value. The combination of robust construction, effective traction, and the added functionality of the jack base makes these boards a worthwhile investment. They’re competitively priced and offer great performance compared to other options on the market. Final Thoughts Overall, I’m very pleased with the BUNKER INDUST Off-Road Traction Boards with Jack Base. They have proven to be a reliable and effective tool for off-road recovery situations. Whether you’re tackling tough trails or preparing for unexpected challenges, these boards are a great addition to any off-road kit. They’ve made my off-roading experiences smoother and more enjoyable, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs dependable recovery equipment.

Great quality, very hefty and durable During a trip in Mojave desert, got stuck in real tricky soft sand, have to use all 4 of my boards to get my 4Runner unstuck! Couldn't imagine offroading without them. Great value as well.

Currently the best alternative to the MaxTrax traction boards. Much less expensive and almost as sturdy, if not as sturdy. Definitely stronger than the X-Bull traction boards, the previous best alternative. These also stack together much better then the X-Bull boards (four of these in roughly the same space as two X-Bull boards). While traction boards can be used as a shovel, they suck at the task. A proper folding shovel is better. Anyway, dig a rough path for the tires to go, place these boards as far as possible under the tires (important), and slowly drive out over the boards. It's that simple. Don't spin the tires any more than absolutely necessary. While these boards are somewhat resistant to the heat generated by a spinning tire (the teeth on most traction boards will quickly melt), there's little to no benefit. The idea is for the teeth of these traction boards to fit into the groves of your tires, providing all the traction needed. Just slowly drive off like you're not even stuck. By the way, if you're stuck in mud, sand, snow, or water, don't forget to spread those bright orange straps out beside the vehicle. The traction boards will occasionally get buried in such situations and the straps will help you find them and pull them out. Further, if you're going over a small ditch or similar, just throw these into the ditch instead of foolishly trying to build a bridge. No plastic is going to support the weight of a truck. These in the ditch will raise the depth of the ditch to allow you to cross more easily. One caveat about the built-in area for a tire jack. While obviously better than standing a jack in raw mud or similar, these boards are not nearly as stable as solid ground. If you can find solid ground, by all means use it. Otherwise, keep your distance from the vehicle and use considerable caution. These Bunker traction boards do not come with vehicle mounting hardware. You can make your own (bolts, nuts, washers, & wing nuts) or just use nylon zip-ties. There are companies making generic mounting pins, but I have no experience with them. Let me know what you use. By the way, if you mount these on the outside of a vehicle, figure out a way to lock them down. Some people will steal anything that isn't bolted down. My last (MaxTrax) traction boards were stolen. That's about it. I do a lot of overland travel through the remote dirt back roads of America, and these are decent, reliable, traction boards (supplementing my winch, tow straps, etc) that should last a fairly long time.

These are a nice budget friendly alternative to the higher dollar recovery boards. The design and quality are similar to recovery boards that were over twice as much.

Worked great getting my SUV out of mud.

Finally got to use these yesterday and they worked wonderfully. F350 at 1.5 feet into mud towing a heavy wood chipper also deep into the mud and I was able to use this to get out. In retrospect it probably would of been best to have 2 sets of these on hand for a total of 4 (1 for each driven tire). Be warned, if you gun the engine while on these the tire friction will start to melt them.

I’m an idiot and drove my 4Runner all the way into that mud hole, 8 miles up a forest service road, without a winch. These saved my a$$!! Hours of digging and using the boards got me out. After cleaning, they are still in perfect shape. 50 pounds of Kentucky mud on them when I pulled them out, no way to clean them, but they came with waterproof bags so I wrapped them and put them back inside my truck without getting mud even more everywhere!! Perfect boards for a fraction of the price of some.

I don’t like to write reviews without really testing items, they got worked today. Country living is an adventure, even when you aren’t looking for one. In fact, when all you need is a little peace and quiet, that’s usually when all hell breaks loose. One of our CPVC sink supply pipes froze and broke thanks to this extra cold stretch thanks to winter storm Fern. Anyway, short story long I didn’t have enough pipe on hand to do the repair so off to the hardware store I headed, or so I thought. Our farm is on a gravel road on an incline. USPS, a pickup and even my wife drove it earlier in the day without issue. Well, I got out there to a fresh 1/2” of snow on iced over snowpack and slid 80’ down the hill backwards. Snow mode and 4-low didn’t cut it, so out came the hero’s of the evening. These pads NEVER questioned grip between the road or the tires. Though I had to have my wife drive while I alternated moving the pads one at a time on both sides of the truck, we steadily inched it back up the hill. The length was great, allowing me to leave a wheel parked on one pad while I moved the one on the other side to the front of the wheel and move forward 18” or so each time. They bit into the rubber and road with little effort, the couple times I tried to reposition a bad placement took a lot of wiggling and pulling to get it back out. Great, great, great product. Love the straps, they are the best straps. Someone told me I don’t need the straps, but I used the straps. I’m calling on congress to mandate all traction pads include straps, we’ll use tariff money to do it. Make Straps Great Again.

I had fairly low expectations for these budget friendly traction boards - but I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the exceptional build quality of these boards. They’re solid, surprisingly heavy and stack perfectly. At the time of writing this review I have not yet had to use them but I’m expecting a good performance. They may not be MaxxTrax but I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase these at all. Great product!

For anyone looking for a good quality/priced recovery board,look no further THIS is it . I actually bought a few that unfortunately all cracked under pressure in cold weather ,these are absolutely the best under 200$ !

Used the in about - 15c, got my power wagon stuck in the snow. After about 10 different uses I had peeled off a few nubs but overall they did well!! Saved me from pulling the winch out, work much better if you can still rock the unit to get a bite, keep wheel speed low. I'm happy, especially at the price point; my biggest concern was the cold temp durability.

I’ve had both these and maxtrax before, and I’ll buy these Everytime. Same quality, but cheaper and comes with a bag.

Seem surprisingly robust for Made in China. They worked okay in snow. Have yet to try in mud. Maybe Max Trax or USAction Tracks will lower their price to compete.
