The key to overlanding is being prepared—there are no travel plazas, supermarkets, or parts stores where you’re going. From food, water, and shelter to tools, spare parts, communications gear, and recovery equipment, everything you need has to fit in or on your vehicle. That vehicle also needs to be in tip-top shape and built to handle all sorts of terrain and road surfaces (assuming there are roads at all).
That requires a lot of planning, and Summit Racing is here to help. Their Overlanding Section features parts and gear to help you equip your overlanding vehicle from trusted brands like these:
• Thule/Tepui and Napier tents
• Surco and Sportrack roof racks
• DECKED bed storage systems for pickups
• Viair and ARB on-board air compressors
• Optima deep-cycle batteries
• Redarc battery management
• Teraflex and Skyjacker suspension kits
• Fab Fours and Addictive Desert Designs bumpers
