Overlanding Gear and Vehicle Accessories
Overlanding Gear & Vehicle Accessories for Every Build
Every overlanding gear and vehicle accessories build comes down to the small pieces that make the big system work. Tie-down rings that keep gear secure on washboard roads. Wind deflectors that quiet the roof top tent at highway speeds. Jerry cans for fuel and water. Axe brackets and spare wheel clamps that keep recovery gear ready. Seat organizers that turn the back of the cab into actual storage. This is the everything-else overlanding gear collection where we carry the parts that don't fit neatly into bumpers, racks, or tents but still matter every single trip. Prices on our featured products range from $12.95 for the Front Runner rack-mounted bottle opener up to $359.99 for the 4Runner Rear Organizer Bag, with the broader vehicle accessories catalog including off-road trailers, awnings, rock sliders, and lighting that aren't in the featured selection below. Every product on this page is sized for overlanding accessories use, built by brands we actually trust (Front Runner, iKamper, Prinsu, Rigid Industries, Overland Gear Guy), and ready to ship. Call us at 844-200-3979 to talk through which overlanding gear fits your specific build, vehicle, and trip style.
Featured Overlanding Gear & Accessories
Front Runner Rack-Mounted Bottle Opener
Price: $12.95
Type: Roof rack bottle opener | Fits: Front Runner Slimline II rack systems
Build: Heavy-duty steel, T-slot mounting, weatherproof finish
The most affordable accessory in our lineup and the kind of small upgrade that genuinely makes camp life better. Mounts to any Front Runner Slimline II roof rack T-slot with included hardware, opens bottles at camp without searching through gear, and the heavy-duty steel construction handles years of outdoor use without rusting. Small, functional, and the kind of thoughtful overlanding accessory that separates a casual setup from a dialed one.
Front Runner Black Tie-Down Rings
Price: $16.95
Type: Roof rack tie-down rings | Fits: Front Runner Slimline II & compatible T-slot systems
Build: Galvanized steel, black finish, T-slot mounting
Tie-down rings are the unsung hero of overland gear. They give you secure attachment points for ratchet straps, bungee cords, and cargo nets so gear stays put on washboard roads and off-camber trail sections. The Front Runner rings mount to any T-slot rack system with included hardware, the galvanized steel construction handles UV and weather without corroding, and the black finish keeps the visual clean. Buy a set of 4-8 depending on your rack size and gear load.
Front Runner Cub Pack Storage Box
Price: $72.95
Type: Compact stackable storage box | Fits: Truck beds, drawer systems, roof racks
Build: High-density polyethylene, stackable design, integrated lid latches
The Cub Pack is Front Runner's compact storage box, sized for the smaller gear that doesn't justify a full Wolf Pack but still needs organized, stackable storage. HDPE construction handles drops and abuse, the stackable design integrates cleanly with drawer systems and roof rack platforms, and the integrated lid latches keep contents secure on rough trails. The standard small-gear box for organized overland storage builds.
Front Runner Spare Wheel Clamp (Low Profile)
Price: $79.95
Type: Roof rack spare tire mount | Fits: Front Runner Slimline II rack systems
Build: Heavy-duty steel, low-profile clamp, locking hardware
The Front Runner Spare Wheel Clamp mounts your spare tire directly to the roof rack, freeing up bed space and rear cargo area for other gear. Low-profile design keeps the clamp itself out of the way when the spare isn't installed, the heavy-duty steel handles full tire weight on washboard roads, and the locking hardware deters theft of an expensive spare. The right pick for full-build overland rigs where every inch of bed space matters.
Prinsu Awning Mounting Brackets
Price: $86.00
Type: Awning mounting brackets | Fits: Prinsu roof rack systems & most awnings
Build: Aluminum, low-profile design, hardware included
The Prinsu Awning Mounting Brackets are the bridge piece between your Prinsu roof rack and most awning brands (ARB, Front Runner, OVS, Smittybilt). Aluminum construction keeps weight low, the low-profile design doesn't add visual bulk to the rack, and the bracket geometry handles the dynamic loads of an extended awning in wind. Required if you're running a Prinsu rack with any awning brand other than Prinsu's own.
Front Runner Axe Bracket
Price: $119.00
Type: Roof rack axe mount | Fits: Front Runner Slimline II rack systems
Build: Heavy-duty steel, locking mechanism, mounting hardware
The Front Runner Axe Bracket gets your camp axe out of the truck bed and onto the roof rack where it stays organized and accessible. Heavy-duty steel construction holds full-size camp axes securely, the locking mechanism keeps the axe in place over rough terrain (and deters casual theft at gas stops), and the T-slot mounting integrates with any Front Runner Slimline II roof rack. Standard kit for any overland build that runs serious recovery and camp gear.
Front Runner 20L Jerry Can (w/ Spout Adapter)
Price: $119.00
Type: 20L jerry can with spout | Fits: Universal jerry can mounts (sold separately)
Build: Heavy-duty steel, NATO-spec, red or black, included spout adapter
The Front Runner 20L Jerry Can is the NATO-spec heavy-duty steel jerry can that's been the standard for military and overland fuel storage for decades. 20 liters (about 5.3 gallons) of fuel extends your range significantly on remote routes, the included spout adapter makes refilling the vehicle clean rather than a spill-fest, and the heavy-duty steel construction handles years of mounting, removing, and dropping. Available in red (universal fuel-color signal) or black (cleaner overland aesthetic).
iKamper Wind Deflector for RTTs
Price: $180.00
Type: Roof top tent wind deflector | Fits: iKamper Skycamp Mini, X-Cover 2.0 & compatible RTTs
Build: Aerodynamic shape, lightweight composite, mounting hardware included
The iKamper Wind Deflector mounts in front of your roof top tent and genuinely reduces wind drag and noise at highway speeds. The difference on a 6-hour drive between an RTT with and without a wind deflector is real: less buffeting, less wind noise inside the cabin, and noticeably better fuel economy. Designed specifically for iKamper Skycamp Mini and X-Cover 2.0 dimensions but works with many other hardshell RTTs. The right upgrade for anyone driving long distances with the RTT installed year-round.
Rigid Industries D-Series Pro Flood Lights (Pair)
Price: $279.99
Type: LED flood lights (pair) | Mount: Surface mount, black housing
Build: Rigid Industries D-Series Pro, flood beam pattern, hard-wired
The Rigid Industries D-Series Pro Flood Lights are the gold standard in compact LED lights for overland builds. Surface-mount design fits virtually any location (bumper, A-pillar, roof rack), the flood beam pattern lights up close terrain at low speeds (perfect for camp setup and slow technical trails), and the D-Series Pro spec is Rigid's commercial-grade construction rated for years of off-road abuse. Sold as a matched pair for symmetric installation.
4Runner Rear Organizer Bag
Price: $359.99
Type: Vehicle-specific seat back organizer | Fits: Toyota 4Runner
Build: Heavy-duty fabric, multiple compartments, USA-made by Overland Gear Guy
The 4Runner Rear Organizer Bag is the dedicated seat-back organizer made specifically for Toyota 4Runner dimensions. Made in the USA by Overland Gear Guy with a lifetime workmanship warranty, the heavy-duty fabric construction handles years of regular use, and the multiple compartments turn the rear seats into dedicated gear storage. The right pick for 4Runner overlanders running the truck as a daily driver and weekend rig — keeps the interior dialed without permanent modifications. The most premium of the 4Runner accessories on this page.
Overlanding Gear by Category
The vehicle accessories collection is genuinely broad — the featured products above are just a sample of what we carry. Here's how the broader catalog breaks down so you can find what you need.
Rack-Mounted Accessories
Tie-down rings, bottle openers, axe brackets, jerry can mounts, awning brackets, spare wheel clamps, and all the small T-slot accessories that turn a bare roof rack into a complete overland system. These are typically the highest-volume orders because most overlanders buy them in sets of 4-8 to outfit a full roof rack at once.
Storage & Organization
Storage boxes, gear bags, seat organizers, and vehicle-specific organization systems. The Cub Pack and 4Runner Rear Organizer above are examples; the broader catalog includes Wolf Pack Pro, Tailgate Trash Bags, dry boxes, and dozens of other organization options across multiple brands.
Fuel & Water Storage
Jerry cans (fuel and water), RotoPax containers, footwell water tanks, and the mounting hardware to attach them safely to your rack or vehicle. Critical overlanding gear for remote travel where the next gas station might be 200 miles away.
Lighting
LED light bars, pod lights, work lights, rock lights, and dome lights for cabin and tent use. The Rigid Industries D-Series above is a flood-pattern example; we also carry spot patterns, combination beams, and full light bars from Rigid, KC HiLites, Baja Designs, and other premium brands.
Roof Top Tent Accessories
Wind deflectors, annex rooms, anti-condensation mats, ladder extensions, and all the accessories that make an RTT system genuinely complete. The iKamper Wind Deflector above is one example; the broader catalog covers most RTT brands.
Recovery & Off-Road Gear
Recovery straps, shackles, traction boards, snatch blocks, and the hardware that gets you unstuck. Plus rock sliders, skid plates, and the protective gear that prevents needing recovery in the first place.
Off-Road Trailers
Yes — the broader vehicle accessories catalog also includes fully equipped off-road trailers from Trail Trailer and other brands. These are major purchases ($7,000-$9,000) that effectively double your gear capacity for serious expedition use. Browse the full vehicle accessories collection above for the trailer subset.
Why Small Overlanding Accessories Make the Biggest Difference
Every overland build hits a point where the major systems are done — the rack is installed, the RTT is mounted, the bumpers and lights are set. The next round of upgrades is the smaller overlanding accessories, and this is where most builds either thrive or feel half-finished.
A $12.95 bottle opener, a $16.95 set of tie-down rings, a $79.95 spare wheel clamp — these aren't glamorous products and they don't show up in build photos. But they're the difference between a setup that's actually pleasant to use and one that's constantly frustrating. The tie-down rings are why your gear doesn't shift on washboard roads. The bottle opener is why you're not searching through three bags at the campsite. The spare wheel clamp is why you have full bed space instead of a tire eating half your storage.
For most overlanders, the right approach is to buy the major systems first (rack, RTT, bumpers) and then dedicate $300-$500 to the small overlanding gear that makes the whole system work. That single round of accessory shopping typically delivers more daily-use satisfaction than the next $5,000 in major mods.
The accessory shopping checklist most overlanders eventually run: 4-8 tie-down rings, jerry can with mount, axe bracket, spare wheel clamp if rack-mounting, 2-4 storage boxes (mix of Wolf Pack and Cub Pack), seat organizer for the rear cab, wind deflector if running an RTT, recovery strap and shackles, traction boards, a bottle opener, and a set of 2-4 pod lights. Spending $800-$1,200 on this list rounds out 90% of overland builds.
Tacoma, 4Runner, and Vehicle-Specific Overlanding Accessories
Most of the overland gear on this page works across multiple vehicle platforms (the T-slot accessories fit any Front Runner Slimline II rack regardless of vehicle, jerry cans are universal, lights mount to anything with enough flat surface). But some products are dialed for specific vehicles.
Tacoma accessories on this page include the universal items above (jerry cans, lights, tie-down rings, storage boxes) plus Tacoma-specific seat organizers, bed mounts, and accessories in the broader catalog. Tacoma is one of the most popular overland platforms and we carry deep inventory across all generations.
4Runner accessories include the 4Runner Rear Organizer Bag above as the headline item plus universal accessories that work on any 4Runner with a roof rack. 4Runner overlanders typically build deep accessory collections because the truck stays in the family for 10+ years and the build evolves continuously.
SUV accessories for Jeep Wrangler, Land Cruiser, Lexus GX, Bronco, and other overland-popular SUVs work largely the same way: universal T-slot rack accessories plus vehicle-specific seat organizers and bed/cargo solutions. The featured products on this page work on virtually any vehicle with a Front Runner rack.
Why Brand Choice Matters for Vehicle Accessories
The vehicle accessories aftermarket is full of $5-$20 versions of everything we carry, sold through Amazon and big-box auto parts stores. The price difference is real and the temptation to save 70% on a tie-down ring or bottle opener is understandable. Here's why we don't sell those products.
Cheap accessories fail in three ways that aren't obvious until you're on a remote trail. Mounting hardware loosens because the bolts aren't grade-rated for vibration loads. Finishes corrode within 1-2 years because the coatings aren't UV or salt-water rated. And load ratings are overstated because cheap manufacturers don't test their products to the loads they claim. A $5 tie-down ring rated for "300 lbs" might fail at 100 lbs on a real ratchet load.
The brands on this page (Front Runner, iKamper, Prinsu, Rigid Industries, Overland Gear Guy) build to standards that hold up to years of overland abuse. The price premium is real but the warranty coverage and longevity pay back over 5-10+ years of use. For accessory categories where failure means losing gear on the highway or being stuck on a trail, the brand premium is worth it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between vehicle accessories and overlanding gear?
"Vehicle accessories" is the broader generic term covering anything that bolts onto or mounts inside a car or truck — including everyday items like phone holders, seat covers, and floor mats. "Overlanding gear" is the more specific overland and off-road subcategory: jerry cans, recovery gear, roof rack accessories, RTT accessories, and the equipment designed for remote travel and self-sufficient camping. Everything in this collection is overlanding gear; the broader vehicle accessories umbrella includes a lot of products that aren't relevant to overland use.
Do these accessories require a specific roof rack to work?
Some do, some don't. The Front Runner rack-mounted accessories (bottle opener, axe bracket, spare wheel clamp, tie-down rings) all require a Front Runner Slimline II rack or compatible T-slot system. The Prinsu Awning Brackets require a Prinsu rack. The iKamper Wind Deflector requires a compatible iKamper or hardshell RTT. The standalone items (Cub Pack storage box, Jerry Can, Rigid Industries lights, 4Runner Rear Organizer) work with any setup or no rack at all.
Can I mix accessories from different brands?
Yes, with some caveats. Universal items (jerry cans, lights, storage boxes, recovery gear, seat organizers) work across any vehicle and any rack system. Rack-mounted accessories that use T-slot mounting (Front Runner accessories) are generally compatible with other T-slot rack systems but require verification. Brand-specific items like the Prinsu Awning Brackets exist because that brand pairing isn't naturally compatible without adapter hardware. When in doubt, call us at 844-200-3979 and we'll confirm fitment.
What overlanding accessories should I buy first?
The right order depends on what's already on your build. If you have a roof rack and RTT but no accessories, start with the basics: 4-8 tie-down rings, a jerry can with mount, 2-3 storage boxes, recovery gear (strap and shackles), and a wind deflector if you're highway-driving with the RTT. This $400-$600 first round of accessories typically delivers the biggest daily-use improvement. Lights, axe brackets, and organizers come in the second round.
Are these accessories worth the price compared to Amazon alternatives?
For most categories, yes. Cheap Amazon versions of these products typically fail in mounting hardware (bolts loosen from vibration), finishes (corrosion within 1-2 years), and load ratings (overstated). The premium brands on this page (Front Runner, iKamper, Prinsu, Rigid Industries, Overland Gear Guy) build to standards that last 5-10+ years and carry real warranties. For accessory failures that could mean losing gear on the highway or being stuck on a remote trail, the brand premium is worth it.
