Is this one board or a pair?
This listing is a pair (two boards). One pair handles most front- or rear-wheel recoveries. Two pairs let you put traction at all four wheels for deep sand or remote runs.
What's the weight capacity?
The pair is rated around 9,900 lbs and is designed for standard 4x4s near 10,000 lbs. Owners report using them under heavier rigs in sand, though that's outside the published rating.
What terrain do they work in?
Sand, snow, mud, slush, and pea gravel. The teeth grip tread while the flexible base keeps the board from sinking.
Do they work with any tires?
Run all-terrain or mud-terrain tread. Highway tires have shallow grooves that don't engage the teeth well, grip poorly, and can damage the teeth.
How do I avoid wearing out the teeth?
Don't spin the wheels. Ease on with light, steady throttle so the tires climb and grip instead of grinding. Wheel-spin melts and shears the teeth and voids the warranty.
How do I store or mount them?
Use a carry bag, a rear-wheel harness, or roof-rack mounting through the keyhole accessory points with dedicated pins. Mounting pins and rack hardware are sold separately.
Will the orange fade?
The nylon has UV stabilizers, but years of direct sun will eventually fade the color and degrade the material. Store them out of the sun when you can to slow it down.
