Off-Roading Adventure Checklist: Texas Edition

Going off-roading around Texas is a time-honored tradition. The best Austin truck accessories will guarantee you have a great time out on the trails. While you may think you only need your ATV and your best friends out with you, the truth of the matter is that picking the right supplies can help in a pinch. Here are some items you definitely want to mark off on your checklist so that you know you are going off the beaten path prepared.

First Aid Kit

Hopefully, no one will experience any spills when you go off-roading. You still need to be prepared for small injuries by having a comprehensive first aid kit somewhere in your vehicle. The TeraFlex Trail Series Medical Kit is a great option, and it contains the supplies necessary for stabilizing sprains and treating small wounds. It comes in a compact case, so it fits anywhere in your ATV. You may also be out on the trail for the entire day, so a first aid kit can also hold any medications you need to take as well.

Tire Repair Kit

When your vehicle develops a flat tire, you are not going anywhere. It can put a serious damper on your day because now you are stuck on the sidelines. That is why you want to make sure you have a tire repair kit, such as the Smittybilt Tire Repair Kit. It can repair small holes and other forms of damage in your tires so that you can continue your off-roading adventures. You will still need to replace your tire when you get back, but it serves as a nice temporary solution.

Jump Starter

Having some extra Bilstein struts and bolts may help you out in a pinch. However, without a working battery, you are not moving in the slightest. A dead battery can easily be jumpstarted with the right device. With a standalone jump starter, you do not have to rely on another vehicle to give you a boost. The device already has a full charge, so you simply connect it to the terminals on your ATV’s battery. You just need to make sure you charge it the night before your big adventure.

Air Compressor 

Texas is known for its heat. As the temperature goes up, so does the air pressure in your tires. When the PSI gets too high, it is possible one could blow. This kind of damage cannot be rectified with a repair kit, so you need to make sure your tires remain at a consistent temperature. Make sure to check the air pressure before you go out on the trails. In the event you need to drop the air pressure, you can use a high-quality air compressor. You may also want to consider dropping the pressure regardless before a lower PSI will give you more traction as you drive over mud and soft sand.




Texas has plenty of great off-roading trails to choose from. You just need to go in with more than just your vehicle. Fortunately, you can order all of the supplies on your checklist from a reputable online Jeep and ATV accessories shop.
