BUNKER INDUST Gen 7th Traction Boards with Mounting Kit - Roof Rack

In this review of the Gen 7th traction boards kit, the bottom line is simple: this pair is aimed at offroad drivers and overlanders who need a complete, roof-mountable recovery solution that stays ready and secure. The kit stands out because it bundles heavy-duty recovery boards with steel mounts, quick-release knobs, tie-downs and a carry bag, so there is no scavenger hunt for parts when a vehicle needs traction in sand, mud, or snow. For anyone who values organized, theft-resistant storage on a roof rack, this set delivers.

Key Features

• All-in-one kit: Comes with two recovery boards, steel mounting brackets, adjustable tie-down straps and a tough carry bag so users have everything needed for trail recovery without buying extras.
• Maximum traction: Aggressive cross-shaped teeth and a dual-sided diamond pattern provide secure grip under tires to reduce slippage and help vehicles power out of sand, mud or snow.
• Heavy-duty materials: Reinforced polypropylene and an interlocked diamond-core design let each board flex under load without cracking for long service life.
• Quick access fitment: Quick-release knobs make it fast to deploy or stow the boards without tools, saving time in a recovery situation.
• Roof-mounted and theft-resistant: Powder-coated steel mounting bases include multiple adjustment points and a padlock-ready system to keep boards secure on a rooftop rack.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for 4x4 owners, Jeep and truck drivers, and weekend overlanders who frequently travel in sand, mud or snowy conditions and want a ready-to-use recovery system that mounts to a roof rack. It works well for those who prefer a compact, organized setup with quick deployment and theft deterrence.

Drivers who rarely leave paved roads or who need motorized recovery solutions like a winch as primary gear may find traction boards less central to their setup. Also, users who need a very small space-saving option for inside-cabin storage should consider alternatives, since this set is optimized for roof- or rack-mounted use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete recovery package means no extra purchases to mount and store the boards on a roof rack.
• Effective traction pattern and strong materials deliver dependable performance in sand, mud and snow.
• Quick-release knobs and adjustable mounting points make access and fitment straightforward for a range of racks.
• Helpful carry bag included for transport when not mounted and appreciated build quality by users.

Cons

• Because the kit is designed for roof mounting, it occupies rack space that some users might prefer to reserve for other gear.
• The set adds weight to the roof assembly, so roof load limits should be checked with heavier vehicles or full racks.
