Here Are A few Overlanding Accessories to Keep in Mind If You Are Just Getting Started.
When setting up a Jeep Wrangler for overlanding , there are several essential accessories to consider. These enhance off-road capability, self-sufficiency, and comfort during long expeditions. Here are some of the most common overlanding accessories and why they are needed:
1. Roof Rack or Interior Cargo Rack
Why? Overlanding requires carrying extra gear such as tents, fuel, water, and recovery equipment. A roof rack (like the Fury Awaken Series Roof Rack ) provides extra storage space without taking up valuable interior room. or an interior cargo rack like the FURY Cargo Rack.
2. Roof-Top Tent (RTT) or Ground Tent
Why? A roof-top tent offers a comfortable sleeping area while keeping you off the ground, away from mud, insects, and wildlife. It also deploys quickly, making setup and breakdown efficient.
3. Auxiliary Lighting (A-Pillar & Roof-mounted Lights)
Why? Overlanding often involves night driving on trails. The Fury Gravity A-Pillar Lighting System provides powerful, waterproof lighting for increased visibility on rugged terrain.
4. Winch & Recovery Gear
Why? Getting stuck is part of overlanding. A winch mounted on the front bumper allows self-recovery, while recovery gear like traction boards, snatch straps, and shackles help get unstuck from mud, sand, or snow.
5. Skid Plates & Rock Sliders
Why? Protection is key when navigating rocky or rough trails. Skid plates protect the undercarriage (oil pan, transmission, and fuel tank), while rock sliders shield the sides from rock damage.
6. All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain Tires
Why? Factory tires aren’t always suited for rough terrain. All-terrain or mud-terrain tires provide better grip and durability, preventing punctures on rocky, muddy, or sandy surfaces.
7. High-Clearance Suspension & Lift Kit
Why? A 2-4 inch lift kit increases ground clearance, allowing the Wrangler to tackle more challenging trails and fit larger tires for better traction and obstacle clearance.
8. Dual Battery System or Portable Power Station
Why? Overlanding requires power for accessories like fridges, lights, and radios. A dual battery system ensures you don’t drain your main battery while running electronics.
9. Onboard Air Compressor
Why? Airing down tires improves traction on sand and rocks. An onboard air compressor lets you reinflate tires before heading back to pavement.
10. Extra Fuel & Water Storage
Why? Long trails mean extended range is necessary. RotopaX or Jerry Cans allow you to carry extra fuel, while a water storage tank ensures you have enough potable water for cooking and drinking.
11. GPS & Communication Devices
Why? Many trails have no cell service. Satellite communicators (Garmin inReach), HAM radios, or CB radios ensure reliable communication in emergencies.
12. Fridge/Freezer & Cooking Setup
Why? A 12V fridge/freezer (like a Dometic or ARB) keeps food fresh for longer trips. A camp stove or portable grill is essential for cooking in remote locations.
13. First Aid Kit & Emergency Supplies
Why? Remote travel means medical help is far away. A well-stocked first aid kit with trauma supplies is crucial for safety.
14. Awning & Shade Setup
Why? In hot climates, a retractable awning provides shade and protection from the elements while setting up camp. Check out the FURY Gravity Side Tent.
15. Storage & Organization Solutions
Why? Proper storage solutions (MOLLE panels, drawer systems, and cargo nets) keep gear secure and accessible during long trips.
16. Tailgate Folding Tables
Why? Once again, space! A Jeep Wrangler tailgate table allows for a place to have a small stove, cooking utensils, and most have a pole light. The FURY Gravity tailgate table is a perfect fit.
Conclusion
A well-equipped Jeep Wrangler transforms into the ultimate overlanding rig with these accessories. The key is balancing capability, comfort, and safety for extended off-road travel. Would you like recommendations on specific brands or setups?

High Altitude Mods Staff
High Altitude Mods got started by looking at the market for Jeep mods that were not like everything else we were seeing. We wanted our Jeep to be different but also we wanted accessories that were high quality and complemented the Jeep. That was pretty hard to do. Take roof racks for example. A lot on the market and most look like garbage. We hope you enjoy the products as much as we do.
