Mud Accessories
Mud Tires
Get battle-tested tires in a mud/trail crossover for a smooth ride on the trail plus aggressive traction in the mud. Or add mud-focused tires for pro performance in the pits.
Bumpers & Guards
Mudding requires a well-armored ride with fender flares, front and rear bumpers and more to handle everything from inevitable slides to hidden obstacles under the surface.
Winch
Half the fun of mudding is pushing your vehicle to the limits, which means you’ll need a good strong winch to pull you out of those sticky situations you threw yourself into.
Lights
Essential for mudding, not only to help illuminate the contours of the terrain in low-light conditions, but to help you be seen by other riders day or night.
Premium Audio
A mudding party isn’t a party unless there are some tunes to go with the adventure. Crank it loud on a premium Rockford Fosgate® or MB Quart® sound system.
Coolers
Mudding is a challenging, physical activity. Keep you and your crew hydrated with a tight-sealing cooler full of beverages. It’s essential on any adventure.
