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.
Jacob J.
Just bought, seems great. Will not fit victory 4x4 roof rack with supplied installation hardware. Will be ordering tslot bolts to make work.
Jeffrey Blanchard
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.
Matt
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
Richard
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!
Jordan Vanclef
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!
Mrhockey
Wheter in snow or back country these babys perform like a champ.
Thomas Chacos
Very and they came with mounting hardware
Russell Bream
Quality is very well made. Can¡¯t wait to get to use them.
steve
Good quality. Haven¡¯t had to use them yet. However compared to some higher priced ones I¡¯ve owned they seem up to par
Keith Rice
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.
Jacob Carr
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!
David Garza
They look great and sturdy the color matches my jeep can wait to put them to the test.
rachael epstein
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.
Cody
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.
Austin
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.
Marty R. Belleville
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.
Alex
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)
H20Sun&Fun
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!
Ryan
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!
Jared
Great fit with mounting hardware and storage bag if not mountings
Greg F.
If you cannot afford the original ones buy these. They are good enough. I do recommend them if you have limited money. A+
Ryan King
Solid material, easy installation, great look. Definitely worth the money.
ElGooch
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.
Jacob Cave
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!
Alvaro DeHoyos
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.
wilman
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.
ROBERT SANTILLANA
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.
JesQ
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!
Kevin Nicol
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.

Sharon Winans
Love the tracks but the carrying bag they sent me was too small and they're very hard to get ahold of
kassidy sturn
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
KB
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.
Triple R Motorsports
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.
Nicholas Conroy
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.
Ryan Muraco
This is a great product!!! It snowed really bad where I live for the past few days. The tracks came in handy to help get other people who were stuck, unstuck.
Ryan Deming
worked perfectly. Would like an option for a longer set for my truck.
Mitchell DeLong
Save your money and get these! They aren¡¯t ¡°mazztraxs¡± branded but they get the my get the job done just the same!
Glenn Gaither
Well priced, very heavy duty and fast shipping ... cant ask for more than that
Darin Denton
These are nice looking recovery tracks. I did a little research and with them on sale I believe I got a really good product for the money. Shipping was quick and everything came nicely packaged.
B. Kush
I¡¯ve used these in a number of occasions and never had any issues with cracking.
Unfortunately, they will fade. I put my racks on my roof mid 2020 and have had them on nearly every day till Dec 2022.
The photo shows the fade that will occur in about 2 years continuously on the roof.
This is an aesthetic flaw and not a functionality flaw but it¡¯s worth considering. I¡¯m just lazy and keep my racks on the roof 24/7.
Other than that, can¡¯t complain. Cheers.
David Roberts
I¡¯ve been waiting to purchase some traction boards all year and was deciding between X-Bull or Max Trax. X-Bill at $59 vs $350 for Max Trax was a no brained decision. Great quality without being overpriced!!!
Tataia
Great product, used it multiple times without any issues. After melting a pair of Maxtraxx I got these and they do the job at a fraction of the price!
Langerfam
Have not had to use them yet. Just knowing they are onboard and available is nice.
Theodore Carbone
Excellent, solid, well built. Amazingly fast shipping !!
Metal_Tacoma
These are good for the price and I really like they came with the mounting pins. Like all recovery board make sure you use them correctly, Even the high dollar ones will fail and break if not. They have held up to my tacomas weight over the past season of trails. I have used them a lot to level my truck at camp for my roof top tent and once for a recovery of a friend's truck with no damage to the boards. Just have to remember not to let tires spin on any of these things, that's when you get heat that will cause them to melt or break. I would definitely buy these again for the price as they are definitely a good buy.
Martin Echeverria
excellent price high quality product and I received it very quickly
Brian Solomon
Ok, I was looking for a set of traction boards for a long time and just never wanted to spend 300.00. I looked at the x-bull reviews and the videos several times. I watched the comparison videos as well and I will have to say the Maxtraxx are the shit but who has 300.00 to hang on their rig. I got my x-bulls and love them for the price and the need they are great and how can you beat the price at ? off? I will be taking them on all my runs and will have to report back once I have a need to use them. But until I do, I am glad to have them as part of my recovery kit.
Dean Espinosa
These stand a little taller when stacked than the most popular competitors but I only have them on my truck when I am heading into the backcountry so that doesn't matter to me. And for something I may never use I find them a great deal.
Mark Cabangon
Came in fast after ordering!
The boards came with a small bag for the screws/mount and a large bag to store both boards.
The quality of the boards is very sturdy. The handles does not have sharp edges and the angle of one end of each board allows to be used as a shovel.
For the price of these boards, it¡¯s a great deal!
Eduardo Toro
Amazing tracks
Bret A Pemberton
fantastic service
Joshua Woodard
If you¡¯re on the fence about ponying up for a EXTREMELY more expensive competitors option, or going with these, go with these. Especially if you¡¯re only a few times a year/light off-road use driver. There are plenty of torture tests on YouTube of these that prove they can easily stand up to what you¡¯re likely going to put them through.
The only mild complaint (reason for four stars) I have is that the hardware for installing is a little lacking. The length of the rods they provide for mounting is roughly 1/2¡± too short to run through both boards when stacked. I mounted them on an RCI bed rack (very thin side walls) and had it was a struggle to get the threaded end caps to grip the threading after the cross bar is placed over the rods. There¡¯s also zero instructions on how to install the hardware. You probably won¡¯t have a hard time figuring it out, but it¡¯s absolutely something they should provide.
Cory Aldridge
Got a sweet deal and they are exactly as described, looking forward to using them! Glad I went with yellow, color is true to the picture
Russell Young
Great Product.
CESAR CARO
excellent product. Congratulations
William Sipes
The boards work just like they were designed. Awesome!!!! They get you out of the pickle you are in and perform beautifully. They clean up easy and store perfectly on your rack or in your bag. The full package is a great deal for some looking to enhance their outdoor experience. Also rack mounted they add a bad to bone element to any off road vehicle. Super happy with my purchase!!!
Trent
Would be nice if they included instructions on how to use the pins that come with it. EXTREMELY frustrating as I¡¯m sitting in my garage trying to figure it out.
samdrucker
They seem to be good quality. Dont expect to use this hardware and install them to any roof rack without some sort of molly pannels.
I ended up purchasing 2 of the deezee 11/42 inch square pannels to put on top of the prinsu roof rack with 1/4 20 carrige bolts.
J. Lopes
TL;DR These are the perfect length and angle to fit between the rear seat floor hump and the rear door. Like EXACTLY. Hope to never have to use these because I think and don't get stuck.
Bag and mounting kit seem ok. Nothing standard and it would take additional hardware to mount on stock 4runner roof rails.
Use the for back of 2020 4runner hump to flatten out a laying surface - I'm hoping to having never a need to use them for the intended purpose!
But sleeping with that hump in the back is a royal pain and I had one too many sleepless nights in the back of my 4runner for two 3 night trips.
I needed to figure out how to solve the hump in behind the rear seat when I sleep in my 4runner out in the middle of no where.
By chance, these tracks fit perfectly between the rear door and the backseat with the correct angle when turned upside down. Then I use cardboard from something else I purchased and it just happened to be the correct width and added a moving pad from a freight store and it works perfectly. Sleep with head at rear door and let feet hang over the edge.
Remove the rear bottom seat with two 14mm bolts and move the passenger seat up and use an air mattress and it becomes The 4Runner Motel

Worked as described and saved me a $150 minimum tow bill!
Ava Annette Johnson
We had no issues for the terrain we have. Good value for the money. There are other brands that are sturdier but for what we need these worked great.
LaurieTheSilent
Literally survived being bent in half, then I sped in reverse to undo it. So it works. What else would you want to know.
Will
Work as advertised as a fraction of the name brand.
Nathan Drysdale
Haven't used them yet. Pro: Upon inspection they seem to be very high quality. Con: The mounts sent with the boards are plastic...probably won't last long.
FR
?I was grinding away on these after getting stuck on some tires on an OHV obstacle course. After playing around with the positioning of the boards, I eventually got unstuck under my own power.
Lida Verner
I have not had opportunity to actually use the actual tracks yet and will add to this when I do. However, the bag that it comes in is of poor quality and very thin.
Richard Brown
We used these to get out of a mud hole our RV was in. The weight of our RV is 32,000 lbs. these worked perfectly and only one small crack in a board.
Mandy N.
I love the product and company itself but the plastic mount hardware was a bit annoying. I decided to use metal from the local store as a replacement. The metal fit my rack better but it also seems stronger all around.
Ari
We waited 6 months to use these and after 1 use they cracked, I used them to prop up one side of my sprinter van when dry camping. So I just ran them over and they cracked. Not happy, that they don¡¯t hold up.
Update: x-bull are sending me a new set. Great Customer service. 2 more stars because they are standing behind the product.
YOLO
I decided to just test it out at the beach and it keep sliding away or maybe I¡¯m just not using it correctly. But once my wheels caught traction it pulled me right out. So I guess it does what it supposed to.
Joshua McCorry
Gen 3 Worked great getting out of deep loose sand!
Brian L.
I was able to test these tonight with my K2500 Suburban 4X4. I was wheeling alone at night after a the first Pacific Northwest snow storm of the season and got stuck in some nasty clay. I deployed the boards as planned as the truck crawled right out of the mud. I only have one pair and used them behind the rear tires to back out of the spot I was stuck. Worked great! I¡¯m getting a second set just in case since my truck is so heavy and I often overland with my family and a lot of gear.
Truthbetold
Like everyone else, I got these boards for the price and the solid reviews. I¡¯ve seen expensive boards snap in half on one use and figured I might as well get a budget friendly one and repurchase if need be. I used the boards today with an Acura ILX stuck in the snow and my Wrangler on 35¡¯s (stuck in deep snow). They worked flawlessly and maintained they¡¯re shape and function. Some damage occurred on the ends (ramp portion) but that is normal wear and tear for these boards.
All in all, I¡¯m very happy with the performance and I only wish I bought 2 sets and a brighter color! The darker colors are definitely hard to find.
Will be purchasing again.
Derek M.
I saw these at a great price compared to maxtrax etc. so I pulled the trigger. At first glance they looked solid and sturdy. I have very big hands but the handles were easy to use. Sure enough first trip with them my buddy got his 4runner stuck. I shoved them under the wheels and it didn't work so I flipped it over, used it like a shovel to build up the ground behind him and tried again. This time he drove right over them but was still stuck in the mud. I did the same thing 1 more time and he was out. I'm very happy with this purchase because these traction boards are cheap, sturdy, did their job as a shovel and it got my buddy out of a mud pit without showing any signs of damage.
Tony Cola
I haven't used them yet, but they seem sturdy and well built. They came with a storage bag- which ripped pretty quickly and the mounting brackets. Pretty stoked to have these as back up if I ever need them. I guess these are a cheap insurance!
Landon
Have had for a while now has help up really good
Linda D.
My grandson is prepared for it all! He¡¯s going off to college in the fall and these will go on his roof rack in case he ¡°encounters¡± mud or snow!
He loves them.
Lorelei A.
I like the size and the material. I wish they fit inside each other. They go in my roof basket although I cannot use the tie-down bolts in the basket, they are made for a different setup.
Adam gelman
One of my boards cracked on me, the customer service was quick to reply and replaced my whole order. The crack came from user error, could have been prevented. But the boards work well in snow and I¡¯m super happy. Would definitely recommend
Sun Devil Fan
I bought this for my lifted truck based on the recommendation of a friend. We were going to be in the dunes - and people frequently got stuck. Day 1 a friend is trying to help a person who is stuck. I brought my traction tracks out and immediately we were able to help them. Then the next day someone asked if we could help them - they were stuck even deeper. After 3 different times of getting stuck our traction tracks saved the day. So buy them if you want to be able to get unstuck. Don't buy them if every person who gets stuck wants your help - because that will happen to. Kidding aside - I highly recommend!
SpyderMe
Used with our small tractor a handful of times this winter. Husband said he loved them. Made getting unstuck in the snow a cinch
Justin
When I bought them my wife made fun of me and asked if I wanted to return them- fast forward 6 months and we actually have snow on the ground, and some stranger's SUV got stuck in our culdesac and their friend's truck couldn't get them out either so my wife volunteered my X-BULLs and got them out first try with only a little wear on the ends!
Seth Turner
Purchased two sets of these on the recommendation from a friend that owns a snowplow business and has them in all of his vehicles. I have already used them 4 times since purchasing them to get my employee vehicles out of snow banks and think these made all the difference between getting the vans out ourselves versus calling the tow truck!

Haven't had a need to use them yet but the quality seems great. Th boards fit nicely in the bag. The mounts are a little confusing and there were not any instructions included so I need to figure out how those work.
Claude Hhison
Just received them, quick turn around. Haven¡¯t used them yet but the quality seems great. Hope to never use these but they should do the job. I went with solid black
Jacob Hooge
The boards seem as good as any other I¡¯ve seen (not abused yet), and boy oh boy is that price low. Glad to have them, and I¡¯d 100% buy these again, but the mounting hardware is utter junk. Aluminum bolts. I¡¯m afraid to actually use it
marlon aviles
Prompt delivery, I have not used the traction boards; however, the quality is great and I have no doubt they will work as needed when the time comes.
Kelly McGinnis
Well designed and heavy duty. Easy to mount. Works well in both mud & sand.
Thomas Mullins
Have had ~half a dozen uses over the last year or so since I bought them. They're pretty good. Can't say I have first hand experience with competitor brands, but these have paid for themselves time and time again. Still have all the studs on them, have some stress marks but aren't cracked nor show any signs of cracking soon.
Cameron Noble
Nice boards, very sturdy and perfect for my Jeep
bzagsx
Ordered these after having to use my buddies. Work as advertised, sturdy enough for a 2500 ram on ice. Would have gotten 5 stars but i ordered lime green and i received black trax. Other than the mix up theu will work and serve their purpose
D'Anna Watson
Excellent alternative to some of the over priced brands! These work just as well for half the cost. They are sturdy and reliable
Zachary Dalby
Accidentally ordered two sets make sure you check the number of orders
Grant Johnson
I have used these to help several front wheel drive cars stuck in snow. They work quite well, and are 1/3 of the price of other better known brands.
Blah
Best on the market. Buy them. Dont get caught without them. Got a call from a friend that they had 3 vehicles stuck in the mud. Loaded these into my ford raptor and got them out. They were so deep in the mud that even my raptor couldnt have done it without these boards. Buy them now. You wont regret it.
