What happens here
Murry points out the rock sliders from CBI, which also function as steps. He emphasizes their robust construction, noting that they are bolted to the frame in multiple places and can withstand a three-foot drop onto rocks without damage. He also highlights the presence of rock lights underneath, which are Diode Dynamics RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) controllable via Bluetooth from a phone. These lights are waterproof and durable, having successfully survived a Canadian winter with temperatures reaching -40 degrees Fahrenheit. For recovery, the vehicle is equipped with MaxTrax traction boards (an Australian brand) and two 4-gallon Jerry cans for fuel or water, mounted on a dual swing-out bumper. The ingenious mounting system ensures everything is securely stowed with no rattling.
Goal: Showcase rock sliders, rock lights, and recovery equipment
