Calling all Vermont off-roaders: if you’re planning on taking some adventures in your Jeep this season, we’ve compiled a list of essential off-roading gear and equipment you’re going to want to have on hand. Here’s the full rundown.

• Tire Repair Kit: When you’re traversing unpredictable terrain, you may fall victim to unexpected tire punctures. To be prepared in this situation, get yourself set up with a tire repair kit with plugs, patches, and a compressor.
• Skid Plates and Armor: Skid plates help protect the underside of your Jeep from damage caused by rocks and other obstacles. Body armor can similarly protect the sides of your Jeep.
• Recovery Straps and Tow Hooks: Recovery straps and tow hooks are important for pulling you or another car out of a ditch.
• Off-Road Lights: It can get dark on Vermont backroads, which is why it’s important to have LED light bars to improve your visibility.
• High-Lift-Jack: If you ever need to change your tires, a high-lift jack will be an integral tool. This device allows you to lift your Jeep while you change tires.
• Shovel: A shovel can be a lifesaver if you need to dig your Jeep out of the mud or the snow.
• First-Aid Kit: Your health is even more important than the health of your Jeep, so a first-aid kit is important to have on hand. This can help you address any minor injuries sustained while on (or off) the road.
