Ready means never getting stuck for long. 🧭

We`re closing out the 2026 Ultimate Overland Vehicle series with the gear that keeps you self-reliant when it counts. @FreedomRecoveryGear, @Wilco_Offroad, @onXOffroad, @RotopaXOfficial and @ForrestTool cover every angle: a full recovery kit and traction boards for the tough spots, a sturdy hitchgate for carrying a spare tire, trusted navigation off the grid, water and fuel storage, and a multipurpose tool kit for whatever the trail throws at you.

A build that proves what`s possible when a proven vehicle meets the best in adventure gear.

The 2026 Ultimate Overland Vehicle heads to the Bring a Trailer auction this fall—and every dollar raised goes straight to the @OverlandExpoFoundation. Stay tuned for details.
