DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Getting stuck isn’t a question of if — it’s when. The Traction Boards give you a self-rescue option when there’s no other vehicle around to pull you out. Made from UV-stabilized reinforced polypropylene, these boards flex up to 120° without fracturing, conforming to ruts and uneven terrain that would snap rigid boards. The aggressive cross-shaped teeth on both sides bite into tire treads for instant grip in mud, sand, or snow.
- The real game-changer is the integrated jack base. The reinforced center platform provides a stable surface for your jack on soft ground — no more sinking into mud when you’re trying to change a tire. The ergonomic shovel-end design helps you clear debris before placing the boards. When the trail goes sideways, these boards get you moving again without waiting for help.
Key Features
- The reinforced center platform supports your jack on soft ground, sand, or mud — no more sinking or tipping during a trail-side tire change. A feature that dedicated jack bases sell for separately, built right in.
Without Breaking Unlike rigid boards that snap on uneven terrain, the advanced - polypropylene formulation flexes to match ruts, rocks, and slopes. Conforms to the ground for maximum surface contact and grip.
Engineered from automotive-grade polypropylene to support the weight of full-size trucks and SUVs. The UV-stabilized formula maintains strength from -22°F to 140°F.
- Vibrant blue cross-shaped teeth on both sides dig into tire treads regardless of which way the board is placed. The diamond array construction provides grip in mud, sand, snow, and loose gravel. The high-contrast blue-on-black design makes the boards easy to locate and orient in low-light conditions.
- The tapered ends work as improvised shovels to clear mud, sand, or snow from around stuck tires before placing the boards. One less tool to carry.
- Blue High-Contrast Design The black board body with vibrant blue traction teeth creates a striking look on any rig. More importantly, the color contrast helps you quickly locate and orient the boards in mud, snow, or darkness — a practical safety advantage when you’re stuck and frustrated.

FAQ
Q: Will these boards work for a full-size truck?
A: Yes — the 11,000 lbs rating supports full-size pickups and SUVs. The 120° flexibility is especially valuable for heavier vehicles that sink deeper into soft terrain, since the boards need to conform to the rut shape.
Q: How do I use the jack base feature?
A: Place the board under your jack with the reinforced center platform facing up. The wide footprint distributes the jack’s weight across soft ground. This is especially useful in sand, mud, or snow where a standard jack base plate would sink.
Q: Can these boards handle being spun by tires?
A: They’re designed to handle wheel spin — that’s how they generate traction. Avoid sustained high-RPM spinning in one spot, which can melt the surface of any polymer board. Gentle, steady throttle gets better results and preserves the boards.
Q: How do I clean and store traction boards?
A: Hose off mud and debris, let them dry, and store them flat or mounted. Most owners mount them to a roof rack or bed rack. Don’t store them bent or under weight — keep them flat to maintain their shape.
Q: Need a recovery rope or shackles to complete your off-road kit?
A: Traction boards are your solo recovery tool — for vehicle-to-vehicle recovery, add a 1" x 30ft kinetic recovery rope and 3/4" D-ring shackles. For winching, grab a 10-ton snatch block.

Verified buyerRunning between three rig sites every week, was burning through DEF in about 2 weeks. Getting 6 weeks per jug now. Regen lockouts used to cost me half a day in the field, that's done with.
Chris D.
Verified buyerGot four trucks on the ranch, did this one first to see how it'd go. Eight months in, no codes, pulls hay like she's new again. Other three are getting done before winter.
Travis M.
Verified buyerTowing the boat down to the Keys used to kill me at 11 mpg. Got 15.4 last trip, same boat, same route. Pipe looks stock from the outside, none of my buddies even noticed it's gone.
Mike R.
Verified buyerHauled my horses from Fort Worth up to Amarillo last month, got 17.8 empty on the way back. Was running around 13 before. Pulls a lot better up the grades too, didn't expect that part.
Jason T.
Verified buyerUsed to go into regen every 280 miles when I was loaded down, now I'm pushing 580 with no regen at all. EGTs run way cooler too pulling the skid steer. Wish I had done this sooner, honestly.
Brandon L.
Verified buyerBought it used and the previous guy had wiped the delete history clean. Got everything put back the right way, ran the protocol, passed smog first try. Truck finally drives like it should.

The stuff that keeps you up at night before you commit. Answered in plain talk by guys who actually wrench on these trucks.
A full mandrel-bent stainless DPF and CAT delete pipe, EGR block-off plates and gaskets, DEF delete components, all mounting hardware and clamps, and your preloaded tuner with the custom tune for your VIN. We don't ship anything you don't need, and we don't leave anything out that you do.
No. The custom tune disables the codes the deleted hardware would otherwise throw. Dash stays clean. If a real fault code pops up after install, call our line and a tech walks you through it. Usually it's a sensor that got unplugged during the wrench work, takes 5 minutes to sort out.
We pull your VIN before we ship. Engine, year, trim, cab config, all verified against the kit. If it doesn't fit your truck, you send it back and we either ship the right kit or refund you in full. Fitment is on us, not you. That's why we call it a fitment guarantee.
Most of our customers do. Average install is 2 to 4 hours with basic hand tools, sockets, ratchet, jack stands. You'll get the step-by-step install video emailed after purchase and a 24/7 phone line if you get stuck. If you can change your own oil, you can run our protocol.
Real custom files. Built in-house by guys who've been turning wrenches and writing tunes on Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke platforms for years. Every tune is dialed to your year, your engine, and how you actually drive the truck. No outsourced generic tunes pulled off a shared drive.
Once we've got the base files for your platform, dialing it in for your specific truck takes about 20 minutes. Charging $300 for that didn't sit right with us. We'd rather give you the better experience and earn the call when your buddy's truck needs help.
You call us. Real diesel techs, US-based, picking up the phone. We help with install troubleshooting, tune adjustments, fitment issues, codes, anything. We don't disappear after the sale, and the line doesn't go to voicemail. Phone number is at the bottom of every email and on every page of this site.
Yes. The custom tune is reversible, flash the stock file back through your tuner and the truck reads as factory again. The only thing that's permanent is the deleted hardware itself, but most buyers in the diesel community see a properly executed delete as a value-add, not a deduction. We can also ship the OEM-style reverse plates if you want to put the factory exhaust back on for resale.
Lifetime warranty on the stainless delete pipe, no rust-through, no cracks, ever. 2-year warranty on the EGR delete plates, gaskets, and hardware. If anything fails, we ship a replacement same day. The tuner itself carries the manufacturer warranty through EZ Lynk or HP Tuners.
Orders ship from Fort Worth within 1 to 2 business days. Free express shipping anywhere in the lower 48. Most orders land in 3 to 5 days. You'll get tracking the second it leaves the shop.
