X-BULL Gen 3.0 Off-Road Recovery Traction Boards Recovery Tracks

Arrived on time, packaged well and they fit perfectly on my Overland 18.8 bed rack. X-Bull offers great off road products at a great price, will order from them in the future.

Seem really good especially for the price!

It was good

A+++

I ordered & received my X-BULL Gen 3.0 traction boards. However, I have not had a chance to use them yet. X-BULL wants me to rate them, but all I can say at this point is that the online purchase went smoothly and my traction boards were shipped promptly. Once I actually use the traction boards, I will update my review to reflect whether or not they work as designed.

Perfect to have with you on your 4 wheel adventures.

I now own 4 sets of these that are carried in two different vehicles. You can pay more, but I doubt you'll get a much better product. I've used these a couple of times and they worked great. If you spin the tires excessively, you will burn the nubs off (I didn't personally burn nubs off, but know folks that have). The carry bag keeps them clean when not in use. If you choose, they come with bolts to mount on vehicle or roof carrier. They will pay for themselves after one use and you will know they are an essential "get out" tool.

Saved our butts on a sandy wash!

These are very cool and very useful, only issue I had was that the all thread for the mounting hardware is too short.

Great colors

I got a boom lift stuck on a very muddy job site while also up against the clock. Grabbed these out of my pickup and got the 15,000 lb lift unstuck and was back to work in a hurry. They are lost forever to the mud but honestly even if that had been the only time I had used them, to me it would have been worth the cost compared to the loss in productivity or another day of rental. Will definitely be picking some more up.

Although I hope I dont need them, at least I have them. Seem solid with good traction surface.

Love the boards, worked as advertised. However, I ordered red boards, the ones I received are more like orange. Seems to be a running thing with these boards

GOOD

Thank you !

cracked during first use, but still usable

Alright, I've used these boards several times, But tonight they got a hard workout!! I drive a 9,000 lb F350 and went to my property up in the mountains, Temps hard warmed to about 50 deg with plenty of snow on the ground, I was also towing a 5,000 lb trailer, After backing in and realizing it was a terrible idea, my truck basically sunk to the axles! After about 30 min of digging out mud I finally got the boards in place, Gave it a little bump backwards and then eased into the gas forward and it climbed right up on the boards and got me up, Seriously this is no joke, Without these boards I would still be stuck on a dark mountain overnight, Even though the boards are covered in mud and weigh 50 lbs a piece I looked them over and don't see any damage or bending! You can see in the first photo the board did exactly what it should, The second you can see the board is embedded with mud and did its job perfectly!! Save yourself some money and get these boards!!! They do not disappoint and will save you an expensive recovery!!!

I haven��t used them and ideally I won��t ever have to but glad I have them for winter. Since I haven��t used them for their intended purpose during winter decided to run over one before putting them away for the year. Didn��t break so that��s all I can share.

Comes with case and mounting hardware if you want to mount on roof rack, I have a minivan so this is overkill for me, I got stuck once a few winters ago so I'm paranoid, Very heavy and large so not in vehicle now, Will put in trunk late fall, Really made for off road adventure,

The traction boards them selves are good quality, but I wish the mounting brackets it comes with were better quality, I guess you get what you pay for though, They should also make it so that you can some how lock the brackets so the no one can steal the traction boards,

Stuck in the sand dunes alone for work and pulled these out and had zero issue getting out.

Excelente

Haven't used it but all the hardware and bag was included, Fits perfectly in the harbor freight Apache 9800 case, in case you need to save space on a roof rack,

Nice boards, I'm sure they'll come in handy when I need them. I do wish there were better mounting options. The brackets are pretty cheap plastic and the holes don't really allow for mounting perpendicular on a roof rack. I'll have to fabricate something so they don't take up a ton of room in the back of my car.

These are every bit as good as anything out on the market and the price is right. Only question I have is what are the bolts for?

I just got back from getting stuck in the snow in my truck and used these recovery boards to get myself out, I have used them several times-always in deep snow- to get myself and friends/co-workers unstuck, At this point mine are cracked and pieces missing, I have also melted the plastic at the ends from spinning tires on the boards, The directions are correct dont do that,,, Anyway although mine are broken they still work and I love them, My mom got them for me several years ago-might by another set soon, Thanks!

After digging a vehicle out of a snowy road, a set of recovery traction boards was an obvious purchase. These X-Bull Gen 3.0 tracks are a great size to fit in my van garage and the included bag makes a nice package.

So far I'm somewhat impressed with the traction boards, The mounting system can definitely use an upgrade,

Wish they fit into each other more to minimize storage space, How are bolts used for mounting? Look tough enough for the unfortunate time I or someone else gets stuck,

Purchased these as a Christmas gift for my daughter who had asked for a much more expensive set, I figured for the price even if they worked once, they were worth it, She is very happy with them and the fact that I was able to get her more gifts because I saved money,

Easy to install

Given I have a Crosstrek, I don't know how much I will need these traction boards, but recovery gear is always important to have handy, Rather than pay the $300 for the top of the line, I went with these, because they will be doing light duty and they're blue, They feel sturdy but also flexible, The included hardware was too large for my rack, but they mounted easily with some threaded rods and star handles, In summation: good price, nice quality, and fun color options,

Good

Stuck in the sand dunes alone for work and pulled these out and had zero issue getting out,

I had these for a year and never needed them, Then my daughter buried the diesel truck in THICK, heavy mud, It took some effort, but the recovery tracks did the job, Afterwards we notice the tracks had cracked (but not failed) during the recovery, An email to X-Bull with a photo of the cracks and they promptly sent a new set, Wonderful company and customer service!

What can I say, got me out of thick wet sand on the beach in the Outer Banks the first week I had them, So glad I bought them,

Haven't had the chance to use them yet but I bought these just in case. We have a lot of snow and it doesn't hurt to carry these in the car in case I get stuck or someone else does.

Used them today to get my RWD car unstuck from slushy, muddy, muck. Worked as they were supposed to. What a relief when your "stuck" car rolls on out!!!

Exactly as advertised. Great value and significant savings. It shipped to me in the USA in just a few days. 1 2 3 You Rock!

Great price for great product and fast shipping!

My son absolutely loved it!

Great quality traction tracks, Web description is accurate, Can be easily used to help get unstuck, Would totally recommend,

Great quality traction tracks. Web description is accurate. Can be easily used to help get unstuck. Would totally recommend.

So far so good, once they are used I will see.

Great quality!

Brought as a birthday present for my brother. He loved it!!

Love the recovery tracks.

Good customer service, fast shipping. Products is ok but I expected better quality. Not so flexible. But is ok

they look great,the quality is amazing

Great tracks. Just need a few more.

They were exactly what I expected them to be. It was easy to assemble on my track. I have no complaints whatsoever.

I keep these boards on the roof rack of my Jeep Wrangler they are very durable and high quality also the customer service is excellent if you have any questions or concerns they are very quick and helpful .

Love it, would buy again!!

I bought this product to use should I get stuck in the sand when driving on the beach. The ramp seems sturdy and I was surprised to see it came with a storage bag to use, should you not have a way to mount the ramps to the side of your truck only time would tell if they were hold up during use.

It was a good thing I bought these boards or I would have been stuck for hours but thanks to the boards I was able to get out of the sand with my truck and trailer. They really worked

The recovery tracks arrived quickly, the product seems to be well constructed and the bag is handy for storage. I only wish the fabrication was done in the US. I would have paid a premium to find a similar recovery track that was made in The States.

Stacked up easy and kept together easy. The bolt price needed tightening over time but held up. Very strong material and light weight. Used them 3 times at a family farms swamp area. Impressed everyone there. Got myself out and got a few younger cousins out too. AWESOME product! I'm definitely going to get 2 more soon to complete the 4 set. Also recommend getting some mounts to mount 2 on each side of your vehicle.

I'll never leave home without them. Got stuck near Joshua tree by myself without cell service. Helped me out of the sand and safely down the hill. Decent price for what it does. No need to get the high end 3x the price boards unless you're a clout chaser.

I'm very happy with this product.

The week I bought them, I had to use them on the weekend. They got me out of a bind easily. I am a believer now.

Having used my pair a few times now, in both snow and mud, I can say these are very good value if you aren't prepared to plop down three times the money for the top tier of traction boards, I've used these on my Wrangler JL, and on friends vehicles that have ranged from smaller (Renegade) to really large (Excursion), After around 10-12 significant uses, some of the traction nubs have worn off (due to the tire spinning on the traction board) right at the end of both boards, but it's just a few nubs, and the boards are still serviceable, For the money, I recommend them, a good budget option that for me while they've worn a bit on a few of the traction nubs, they have not broken/cracked so far, I've certainly caused at least one board to bend significantly under weight, temporarily transforming to the contour of the ground under weight, but they snapped right back afterwords just fine, Again, for the money, I'm impressed, These just fit in the back of a JL wrangler 2 door, and I've appreciated the cloth case when I've had to put them away muddy,,,it all washed out of the case nicely the next day, As for traction boards in general: Traction boards are an easy self recovery option to try (and have on hand) if you plan on off roading your vehicle, and if you don't have a winch, these can be quite valuable out on the trail along with a shovel,

Just bought, seems great. Will not fit victory 4x4 roof rack with supplied installation hardware. Will be ordering tslot bolts to make work.

Hopefully I never need them, but if I do, look forward to using them. Looks like great products for remote areas of primitive beach we drive out to.

We had to use these to get our giant diesel monster van out of sand and they kicked ass, at the time we only had 2, but they were so damn good we bought another pair since our van is heavy now we have 4. they have been tried and tested. Highly recommend

Recovery mats

Good material the only bad thing is that they don't linde up inside the other causing them to look very raised but you pay for what you get I thought that paying more than 300 at the moment was absolutely unnecessary for something that is not going to be used as much. Maybe down the line I might get 300 hundred dollars ones for a better looking on the truck. Thanks!

I like my boards but wish I was able to get the light blue color ones over the dark blue since they are shown on the website but it is what is. They look good on my bedrack though!

Wheter in snow or back country these babys perform like a champ.

Very and they came with mounting hardware

Quality is very well made. Can¡¯t wait to get to use them.

Good quality. Haven¡¯t had to use them yet. However compared to some higher priced ones I¡¯ve owned they seem up to par

Great recovery boards ??. I have know idea what these pins fit... I had to buy my own and customize proper fit. Just buy the recovery boards no pins and save some money.

Love the olive dab color! No need to pay over $400 for crazy name brand traction boards. These are meant to use in a dire situation. Hopefully I¡¯ll not have to use them but for the price I can afford to replace them if I had to. I¡¯ve seen name brands up close and personal and honestly if you had these side by side you can¡¯t tell much of a difference. Awesome product xbull!

They look great and sturdy the color matches my jeep can wait to put them to the test.

Put them on the side of my van with some sections that are needed to be purchased with them. I purchased the suction separately. They looked pretty slick. And they¡¯re thick plastic, and appear to be very sturdy.

Have only got to use once so far but they held up in a sticky situation. Depending on where you mount you might need extra bolts and nuts to secure for better ride stability down the road.

Have these mounted in the back of my truck as well as a mini set in all our other vehicles. Great for snow, sand, and general off-roading or emergencies. Holding up well and definitely worth it over the more expensive versions, especially if you plan on seldomly using them.I encourage everyone to get a bright color as it's easier to see in the dirt, snow, mud and even at night.

No kidding, bought threes for a friend living in the sierras before Christmas of 2022. Within a month she was able to use those to help,her neighbor get out of a ditch as well as a few others to get out of snow banks. Large and sturdy and pack well into an included vinyl bag.

Our first trip to the beach driving on the sand, and we got stuck, spinning our tires (typical newbies), but popped these babies as far under the tires as we could and quickly were moving again! Lightweight, easy to use (even our kiddo could carry them)

At this price point, these boards are a great deal. I've used them a couple of times and they have held up well so far. They are terrific for getting yourself out of a jam. They were very easy to install on my aluminum gear box and make a great addition to my off road gear. Highly recommend!

So I bought these back in 2020. Honestly, they¡¯ve lived in the shop for the last year or 2 as I got tired of carrying them around. Until today!! I was moving our bus around in the yard when I decided to drive across a soft ditch line¡­. Yeah, not my smartest move.. however, enter the x-bull traction boards! I grabbed them from the shop, dug just enough to let the board get against the tire, got in, gave it some gas and it popped right out. Surprised me! I never really thought this was gonna work, but didn¡¯t want to have to go get the tractor, chains, and extra help to pull it out, so I gave it a try. It did warp the one it buried in the mud, but I honestly don¡¯t care. It saved me a ton of time/trouble and this bud weighs A LOT more than their rating. So I¡¯m ok with damaged boards at this point. Also note worthy, it did not break with a bus on it. Warped, yes. Broken/cracked, nope!

Great fit with mounting hardware and storage bag if not mountings

If you cannot afford the original ones buy these. They are good enough. I do recommend them if you have limited money. A+

Solid material, easy installation, great look. Definitely worth the money.

Haven¡¯t had to use em yet. Feel sturdy. Heavy thick plastic. This store actually sent me the correct color I ordered so 5 star for reading the invoice and sending what I ordered.

I got these about a year and a half ago and had to use them for the first time last week. Had to drive a 20,000lbs forklift on them after it got stuck in the dirt. They worked extremely well. It did Crack them but as an injection molding and working in the plastic industry for 17 years I was very satisfied with theses! Would recommend all day!

Great product Well made will fit all my outdoor products that I have for my Toyota Tacoma my door, outdoor adventure will be more fulfilling and safer with your product. Thank you will be buying more products from you.

They are thick which helps them maintain their shape underload. I haven't personally used them with my SUV but I've helped out two cars get out of the sand with no problems. They didn't really flex at all but I'm guessing with the weight of my Escalade they might bow out more or crack which isn't really a problem if it gets you unstuck. As you can see in the picture they don't sit as flush together as the MAXTRAXs. The military color is similar to the picture and they haven't faded after 2 years on the roof.

I bought these to use with the 1998 TJ we use as a towed for our RV. As an astrophotographer. I'm out chasing star photos at all hours of the night. Not a time when you want to be stuck. I am very pleased with the quality of these boards. They compare well with the Smittybuilt and Rhino boards I've seen. The carrying case they come with is nice and actually has enough room to also hold my trail axe. Another perk is they come with the mounting hardware. Most of the other sellers have this as an add on. Once I placed the order for the boards, communication from the company was great. Shipping was very quick too! While I haven't needed to use them yet, I have peace of mind knowing I am prepared. I would recommend them highly.

We used these to assist a van that got stuck in soft sand. These held up well and the occupants of that van were so amazed at how well these worked that they asked where I purchased them from. Of course, I recommended this brand!

I bought 4 sets. Two for our vehicles and 2 for my sons. The boards look well made and feel good. Winter is 1/2 over and haven't had to use them. For the price it is just a good feeling to have them if needed. They shipped / arrived fast. A small issue was they came with the wrong size storage bag. Contacted customer service and they were quick to fix the issue and new bags arrived promptly with no issue, so great customer service. So for the price and peace of mind, I'll go 5 stars.

Love the tracks but the carrying bag they sent me was too small and they're very hard to get ahold of

Bought them 2 years ago and they've been in the back of my car since then waiting to finally get stuck enough to need them. Got a call a few days ago that my buddy got 2 trucks stuck, drove out the snow and mud covered rutted road 14 miles to them with 2 other vehicles. We got one truck unstuck with the boards, my buddy's rescue truck got unstuck 3 times with the boards and my car got unstuck 4 times with the boards (unfortunately the one truck was just too high centered for the birds to do anything). The boards are rougher in condition now (cracks and chips) but still in more than usable condition and they will absolutely be going back in my car after they get hosed down

This is the second snow season for me with the tracks. I have rescued at least 3 cars and one 2wd truck that was stuck in snow with them. They are amazing and a huge time saver. One of the tracks has developed a crack in it so I will see how much more time I can get out of them.

Mounted right to my rack. Very well made. Quality product. Even came with a carry case. Perfect for my overland build. Got them as a Christmas Present.

These traction boards are fantastic! I was able to mount these boards to my roof rack very easily and just as I got them, a snow storm moved in and I used them 4 times on other vehicles within 3 days! They worked and held up very well. I plan on buying another pair as it definitely helps to have 4 total.
