1UP USA — Moto Rack

The 1UP USA Moto Rack makes it easy for riders to bring a dirt bike, dual sport, enduro, or adventure bike along for the ride without needing a trailer. Built to carry motorcycles up to 500 lbs, it combines lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum with a strong steel hitch bar to handle everything from pavement to rough off-road terrain.

The Moto Rack uses a tire-based mounting system to secure a motorcycle without contacting the frame or fork. It also offers multiple mounting options, including securing the bike by the foot pegs. It fits 18″–30″ wheels and tires up to 7″ wide, so it works with a wide range of motorcycles. The integrated loading ramp makes loading and unloading simple and can be deployed from either the driver or passenger side.

Once loaded, the Moto Rack is built to keep the motorcycle steady. A wedge-style anti-wobble hitch helps reduce unwanted movement for a rock-solid connection point and fits standard 2″ or 2.5″ hitch receivers. The included Wheel Chock reduces steer tube movement, while integrated ratchet straps add another layer of security, keeping the bike firmly in place during transport. Whether heading to a trailhead or venturing into the backcountry, these features help keep the motorcycle stable during transport.

Moto Rack also includes a built-in 2″ accessory receiver that lets riders carry compatible hitch-mounted accessories, like bike racks and cargo carriers, up to 150 lbs. It’s a handy way to bring extra gear along while keeping the total load within the rack’s 500 lb weight limit.

Available as a dedicated single base rack, Moto Rack lets riders customize their setup with modular accessories, while replaceable parts and a lifetime warranty help keep the rack ready for years of riding. Moto Rack—made for the roads less traveled and the rides waiting beyond them.

Agile Offroad — AVD Agile Vehicle Diagnostics Software for INEOS Grenadier

Agile Offroad developed AVD (Agile Vehicle Diagnostics) around a practical need: giving INEOS Grenadier owners and service professionals greater access to the technology inside their vehicles. Built exclusively for the Grenadier, AVD brings diagnostics, maintenance, configuration, and monitoring together in one platform. Agile positions it as the first dealer-level diagnostic software developed in the United States specifically for this vehicle, extending its commitment to exploration into the digital side of vehicle ownership.

AVD operates on Windows 10 or 11 through an Agile-certified diagnostic interface connected to the vehicle’s OBD-II port. Once activated, the software automatically identifies the vehicle and communicates with supported electronic control modules. Internet connectivity supports licensing, authentication, and updates, while an offline grace period enables operation in remote locations. The interface gives owners access to vehicle identification, installed modules, software versions, electronic configuration, and an overview of vehicle health.

Its diagnostic capabilities include reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes, identifying control modules, and monitoring live sensor data. Users can examine battery, steering, ABS, engine, transmission, and cooling system information, helping them investigate faults and verify repairs. Customizable data displays, recording tools, and log viewing provide additional insight into intermittent problems. Diagnostic session reports allow vehicle behavior to be captured and shared with Agile’s support team for further investigation.

Beyond troubleshooting, AVD supports oil service resets, applicable maintenance interval resets, vehicle option coding, and tire pressure monitoring system programming, relearning, and configuration. Supported functions help owners manage sensor changes and wheel positions. Availability depends on vehicle compatibility and software support. Recent releases add battery registration, transport mode control, individual module resets, steering angle calibration, transmission adaptation resets, and coordinated module resets. Diesel owners also gain particulate filter monitoring and guided diagnostic recording.

ADAS Easy Coding simplifies access to supported head unit and telltale warning settings through a guided process. Additional improvements include DME battery data, steering angle snapshots, a refined dark mode, and VIN comparison across modules. Together, these capabilities help owners understand their Grenadier’s condition, complete supported maintenance, and configure compatible settings with greater confidence.

The Owner Edition includes one VIN license, with additional VINs available separately. For workshops, Professional Dealer Edition provides unlimited VIN access and operation on up to three computers simultaneously, supporting efficient service workflows. Active subscriptions deliver continuing software development, expanded capabilities, and compatibility improvements. Installation guides, instructional videos, technical support, and in-software feature requests connect users directly with Agile’s expertise.

From garage maintenance to expedition troubleshooting, AVD makes specialized Grenadier knowledge more accessible. Its combination of vehicle-specific engineering, practical service tools, and ongoing development gives owners greater independence and service professionals another resource for supporting the Grenadier community. The result is better information, more informed decisions, and greater confidence before every journey.

MSRP (Owner Edition): Initial 2-Year Subscription $449.99. $99.99 annually after the initial 2 years. Additional VIN upgrade one-time fee of $99.

MSRP (Dealer Edition with unlimited VINs): Price available upon request.

Bluetti — Apex 200 Portable Power Station

Winter overlanding makes every watt more intentional. Early sunsets, freezing mornings, and longer stretches off pavement force travelers to rely on high-draw gear—induction cooktops, diesel heater fans, portable compressor fridges, Starlink setups, and power tools—without filling the vehicle with a permanent, heavy electrical installation. The BLUETTI Apex 200 turns heads in the off-road community precisely because it solves this balance: shaped like a sleek, high-density compact block, it packs 2,560Wh of LiFePO₄ capacity, 3,200W of continuous output (3,600W via expansion or AC/solar input), a 280V high-voltage solar input, and an RV-ready TT-30R outlet into a modular power hub built for multi-day winter travel.

With native connectivity featuring both the 30A TT-30R outlet (for trailer shore power or direct gas generator integration) and a 12V/30A Anderson port (for high-draw DC gear), the unit eliminates the need for messy adapters. Across its ten total outputs, travelers can seamlessly run a mixed kit of AC, DC, and USB devices, while app-based individual outlet control helps preserve stored energy for essential loads after dark as temperatures plunge.

• 280V / 3,000W High-Voltage Solar Input: Harvests maximum energy from weak or low-angle winter sunlight, ensuring rapid off-grid battery recovery at camp when paired with portable solar panels like the BLUETTI SORA 500.
• Native RV & Hybrid Generator Integration: Provides a plug-and-play 30A TT-30R outlet for trailer inlets, while allowing direct connection to portable gas generators for hybrid backup when solar availability is limited.
• 12V/30A Anderson High-Current DC Output: Delivers clean, continuous DC power directly to heavy-duty off-road gear like high-capacity 12V fridges, water pumps, and ham radios without needing bulky adapters.
• On-the-Go Charging via Charger 2: Connects to the vehicle alternator to harvest rapid charging power while driving, converting transit time between remote trails into maximum battery recovery.
• Compact, Space-Saving Build: Delivers a 70.7 Wh/L volumetric energy density, packing 2,560Wh into a 36.2L enclosure (26.9 kg / 59.5 lbs) that slides easily under RV benches or into tight vehicle storage drawers.

At a remote winter camp, this is a true plug-and-play power solution: Apex 200 handles stored energy, SORA 500 harvests daylight solar, and Charger 2 replenishes power while driving—giving overlanders a hassle-free, highly efficient ecosystem without needing a complex permanent electrical build.

While one Apex 200 scales up to 33.28kWh (or up to 6,000W output and 99.84kWh capacity across three units in parallel), its core strength for winter overlanding remains simple: one high-density power station, fast solar charging when parked, and high-speed alternator charging on the move.

Cobra Electronics — TrailBlazer 450 GMRS Two-Way Radios (2-Pack)

Winter overlanding can put miles between a convoy and the nearest cell signal, making communication important, especially when conditions change. The Cobra TrailBlazer 450 helps drivers stay connected beyond cellular coverage, whether they are warning the next vehicle about a technical descent, checking on someone falling behind, or coordinating with a spotter during a recovery. When snow reduces visibility and daylight runs short, sharing information helps crews make informed decisions.

Built for communication between vehicles and on foot, this handheld GMRS radio gives overlanders a way to stay in contact when phones cannot. Its 2.5 watts of power and wideband audio help deliver clear messages, while a removable antenna and repeater capability offer options for extending communication where conditions and available infrastructure allow. Compatibility with FRS/GMRS radios helps mixed groups coordinate, and the FIND function scans and matches frequencies to simplify connecting with other radios, even in the field. Customizable channel banks help crews organize communications before heading out.

Staying connected also means staying aware of the weather ahead. Access to 10 NOAA weather channels and weather alerts helps overlanders monitor developing conditions and reassess plans before continuing toward an exposed campsite or mountain pass. Around camp and along the trail, IP54 dust and water resistance helps the radio handle the elements. A large 1.3-inch LCD makes settings easier to check, while an integrated LED flashlight provides illumination when setting up after sunset. VibrAlert adds vibrating call notifications to help users notice incoming calls.

For long days exploring winter routes, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 16 hours of operation, and USB-C charging simplifies replenishing power between outings. For overlanders preparing for winter, the TrailBlazer 450 supports communication and weather awareness that help keep a group coordinated.

Outdoor Crates — Base Camp Outdoor Crate (OCBC)

Built for the gear that makes cold-weather adventures possible, the Base Camp Outdoor Crate (OCBC) from Outdoor Crates brings dependable organization to overland vehicles, campsites, and winter trailheads. Manufactured in Dayton, Ohio, by the team behind MTM Molded Products, the crate draws on decades of American plastic-molding expertise. Its 114-quart or 28.5-gallon capacity gives adventurers one dedicated place for bulky gloves, boots, warm layers, camp kitchen essentials, and recovery gear—keeping equipment accessible when temperatures drop and trips get messy. The elongated design makes smart use of vehicle cargo space while providing room for longer items that conventional storage totes may struggle to accommodate.

Constructed from high-impact polypropylene, the OCBC is designed for the rigors of repeated loading and unloading. A water- and dust-resistant O-ring seal helps shield contents from moisture, road grit, and trail dust, while a hinged lid and multiple secure latches keep gear contained in transit. Inside, two adjustable dividers and a removable tray separate small essentials from larger equipment. Molded carry handles and integrated wheels simplify transport over firm surfaces, and the stackable design allows multiple Base Camp crates to be arranged neatly together. Lock-ready openings offer an additional way to secure the lid with a small lock or tie.

Despite its generous storage capacity, the OCBC weighs just 15.85 pounds empty. Its exterior measures 43.5 by 14.7 by 11.5 inches, with 39 by 11 by 10.5 inches of interior space. Available in Leaf Green, Ready Red, Stormwater Navy, Cloud Grey, and Peach Orange, the crate combines practical organization with standout color options. From snowy weekend campsites to long-distance road trips, the Base Camp keeps essential equipment organized and ready to access without sorting through loose bags in the cold and dark.

Pro Eagle — 3 Ton Off Road Shop Jack “Abrams”

Born from off-road racing, Pro Eagle recognized that mechanics, pit crews, and overland enthusiasts needed an uncompromising, heavy-duty floor jack for their workshops, trailers, and pit stops.
