Consider These Versatile TrailFX Products for Your Overlanding Adventure

Overlanding has perhaps never been more accessible than it is right now. New events and clubs crop up every month, as more suppliers capitalize on a seemingly endless array of lifestyle merchandise. But sometimes, the more mainstream a trend gets, the more intimidating it can become. With so many opinions floating around, who do you listen to? Where do you start? What do you spend your hard-earned money on?

If you’re new to the scene or simply looking for versatile gear at a fair price, we recommend leaning on TrailFX. With a respected catalog of high-quality and innovative products including side steps, bumpers, suspension kits, lighting, and more, the brand prides itself on delivering strong and stylish accessories.

TrailFX Cargo Solutions

While every overlanding rig looks different, depending on how far and how long you’re heading off-grid, one thing every adventure vehicle needs is quality cargo management. And TrailFX cargo solutions not only run the gamut from simple to comprehensive, but they also perform double duty when you’re not out exploring.

Whether you’re headed to the mountains or hitting the trail, these TrailFX products will keep your gear, tools, outdoor toys, and more, organized and easy to find.

Cargo Nets

Excellent for keeping your payload tied down, TrailFX cargo nets are stretchy, strong, and built to take a beating. Crafted of polyester webbing, they mount to the truck bed and keep gear from shifting and damaging other cargo or the truck bed. While a serious overlander will likely seek out a more permanent solution, TrailFX cargo nets are great for securing camping accessories and recreation gear for short trips and weekend excursions.

Liquid Transfer

“Running out of fuel and water can, under certain circumstances, be worse than running out of food,” warns Overland Bound. If you wind up further off-grid than you planned, there’s a good chance you can rely on your survival skills to scrounge up some food and clean water. But, without divine intervention, it’s unlikely you’ll be transforming dirt into fuel anytime soon. The online overlanding club also advises that you don’t need to go overboard. “An extra 20 gallons is usually sufficient and a couple of jerry cans can give you extra range and peace of mind.”

TrailFX liquid transfer tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit a range of full-size truck applications. Crafted of strong aluminum alloy, all tanks come with a lockable, commercial-grade vented cap and are suitable for transporting non-potable water and diesel fuel.

If you’re looking for something less invasive (the tanks bolt to the truck bed), SpeedFX liquid storage containers might be the way to go. Made from high-quality, virgin high-density polyethylene, these jugs provide excellent storage and transport for automotive, industrial, and agricultural fluids. With a 5-gallon capacity, non-breakable multipurpose cap with rubber gasket and filler hose, and even an ergonomically-contoured handle, they offer reliable peace of mind for the journey ahead.

Jeep JK Roof Rack

If your exploration vehicle happens to be a Jeep, you’ll be looking to store extra cargo, gear, and supplies above, not behind. TrailFX has you covered with a heavy-duty steel roof rack, e-coated with a black textured powder finish for durability. The Jeep Roof Racks are available for 07-18 JK Wranglers in 2-door and 4-door configurations and come backed by a limited 3-year warranty. Easy to install, they add functionality and convenience for both on-road and off-road adventures.

TrailFX Front End Protection

While you’re building up that new adventure rig, consider upgrading your front and rear bumpers with TrailFX replacements, as well. Not only do they protect important internals, but they also offer recovery points and mounting locations for winches, auxiliary lights, and antennas.

New to the TFX catalog for truck applications are the brand’s Pre-Runner Bumpers. Offering a great desert-racer aesthetic, they also promise functional front end protection with accommodation for OE distance sensors and optional light bars.

Also joining the product lineup for 2020, is a new JL bumper. Available in Standard or Premium configurations, the bumpers are crafted of heavy-duty, fully-welded, laser-cut steel sporting a texture black powder-coat finish.

The Standard includes 3/4″ D-rings and a bull nose guard for additional protection and light mounting. It accommodates 3-inch flush-mount LED cubes or a 10-inch single-row LED light bar. The Premium bumper includes D-ring mounts and D-rings, a recessed winch mount (up to 10,000 lbs), a skid plate for additional under carriage protection, OE fog light openings, and an angular approach bar with additional light mounts. It is available as a full-width or stubby option.

TrailFX Recovery Gear

Last, but certainly not least, on the list of overlanding necessities is recovery gear. Depending on how off-road you plan to go will determine what exactly you bring along—but some essential gear always makes the list. Namely, a winch and some quality accessories.

TrailFX has you covered on both fronts. Available in two series—Original or Reflex—all TFX winches offer wire or synthetic options, 3-stage planetary gear, 94 ft of rope, and roller fairlead. Both series have remote operation capability as well, although the Reflex remote control can be used in both a wired and wireless configuration for added convenience.

As far as accessories go, TrailFX offers a comprehensive Winch Rigging Kit. It comes complete with snatch block, recovery strap, tree-trunk protector, D-shackles, winching gloves, and choker chain with hooks.
