DV8 Offroad Xtract Traction Boards, Pair

The DV8 Xtract Traction Boards are a universal off-road recovery tool sold as a pair, each board tested to withstand up to 10 tons of compression, a rating that covers loaded full-size trucks and heavy-duty SUVs buried in mud, sand, or snow. Molded handles allow fast placement even with gloves on. Available in Black, Orange, and Tan, the pair ships with a handled storage bag.

Rated for Heavy Vehicles

Each DV8 Xtract board is compression-tested to 10 tons, so the boards hold their shape and grip under the full weight of a loaded truck or large SUV pressing down during a recovery attempt. A board that flexes or cracks under load is worse than no board at all; the Xtract boards are built to stay rigid through repeated use across multiple recovery attempts on the same outing.

Ready to Deploy in Seconds

Molded handles are built into each board so placement and retrieval stay quick even when wearing gloves in cold or wet conditions. The boards stack flat for compact storage, whether lashed to an external rack, slid under a tonneau cover, or packed in the cargo area. Getting the boards out, positioned under the tires, and back in storage adds minimal time to a recovery.

More Than a Traction Board

The Xtract boards serve a second function as a shovel, letting the user clear mud, sand, or snow from around a buried tire before placing the board for traction, which is useful when digging out is a necessary first step. Multiple mounting holes distributed across each board allow attachment to a variety of rack or bed-mounted systems, so the boards can ride on the vehicle rather than occupying interior cargo space.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The DV8 Xtract Traction Boards suit overlanders, off-road drivers, and truck or SUV owners who need a reliable, heavy-duty recovery tool for mud, sand, and snow. The 10-ton compression rating per board makes them appropriate for full-size and heavy-duty vehicles.

The Xtract boards are sold as a pair only and are not available individually. External mounting hardware for racks or bed systems is not included; the boards have mounting holes but require a separately sourced mounting solution for external carry.

Common Questions

How much compression can each DV8 Xtract board handle?

Each DV8 Xtract Traction Board is tested to withstand up to 10 tons of compression, making the boards strong enough to support the full weight of a loaded full-size truck or heavy-duty SUV pressing down during a recovery attempt without the board flexing or cracking.

Can the Xtract boards be used as a shovel?

Yes. The DV8 Xtract Traction Boards are designed with a secondary shovel function, allowing the board edge to clear mud, sand, or snow from around a buried tire before the board is placed for traction, which is useful when digging out is a necessary first step in a recovery.

How do the boards mount to a rack or truck bed?

The DV8 Xtract boards feature multiple mounting holes distributed across each board, allowing attachment to a variety of rack and bed-mounted systems. Mounting hardware is not included; a separately sourced solution compatible with the chosen rack or bed system is required for external carry.

What is included with the DV8 Xtract Traction Boards?

The DV8 Xtract Traction Boards ship as a pair of two boards along with a handled storage bag. The storage bag keeps both boards together for organized stowage in a cargo area or for transport when the boards are not mounted externally on the vehicle.

Are the boards available in different colors?

The DV8 Xtract Traction Boards are available in three colors: Black, Orange, and Tan. All three color options share the same 10-ton compression rating, tread pattern, and included storage bag; color is the only difference between variants.
