MKII Recovery Boards (pair)

Key facts

• The recovery board the copies are copied from — proven teeth and a known failure mode (none common)
• At 17 lbs the pair mounts to a rack or pin set without meaningfully denting your roof budget
• Doubles as a shovel, leveling block, and bridging ladder — the best value-per-pound in recovery gear

Fitment: light enough to ignore, almost

At 17 lbs for the pair, recovery boards barely dent a roof budget — but they still count, and rack-side mounting pins are the tidiest way to carry them. If your roof total is already tight after the tent, they ride inside just fine.

Who it’s for
