$99 bucks for a pair of traction boards and a carry case, I’m fit to just try them. But I am really curious to hear from anyone who has actually put them through the paces. Please assist!

No answers? Nope. I don’t have em so can’t really say how they are. But two things scream cheap, Rough Country & $99. I’m surprised rough country hasn’t gone the way of Iron Horse, or any number of other discount companies that no longer exist.

For $99, that sounds like a solid deal for a pair of traction boards and a carry case! Many users have found traction boards to be extremely useful for off-roading or when stuck in mud or snow. They can help provide the necessary grip to get your vehicle moving again. In terms of performance, those who have tested similar boards often report that they work well for both tires and recovery scenarios. Some boards are made of durable materials and feature aggressive tread patterns that can really help in tough conditions. If you've used them, be sure to check for reviews and user experiences to see how they hold up in real-life situations. Overall, if you're often in environments where getting stuck is a possibility, they could be a worthwhile investment.

I'm not gonna lie... almost a year later with a response, and you didn't actually try THESE boards? And the text of your answer... this is the most "computer AI generated" sounding answer I've read all week. All fluff, zero actual content or commitment to an opinion. Did you actually write this, or get it from ChatGPT? Seriously asking...

My statement was referring to the cheap brand, not traction boards themselves. I have a pair, just not $99 dollar knock offs. Used mine a couple of times, they are still good after each use. The same cannot be said for the $99 knock offs. One or two uses and they are in the recycle bin. Carry case? I’ll bet they go back in the case real easy when they are caked in mud. There isn’t much anything worse that an overlander can do than buy “cheap” and then count on it to work more than once.
