Pickup trucks are the jack of all trades, but one area they can suffer with is roof storage. Look no further than the Prinsu Cab Roof Rack [$699.99]. Custom engineered to bolt directly to your specific pickup, these beefy aluminum racks can take on big loads.

These racks consist of 2 laser cut side rails constructed of 3/16" 5052 aluminum plate, and the crossbars are made from a 2" x 1" aluminum extrusion that has a top facing T-slot channel. This offers numerous solutions for tie-down options, cargo security, and the addition of accessories such as tool mounts or lighting. All assembly hardware comes in a black zinc finish so as to match a black paint or powder coat finish on the final product. The rack also includes a wind deflector to help with aerodynamics and prevent wind noise.
The rack is completely modular in that you choose how your rack is configured. You can also choose the number of crossbars you assemble your rack with. The rack comes standard with 6 cross bars for cargo and 1 additional for mounting of a wind deflector, lightbar or combination of the two.
We've spilled a lot of digital ink here at the Notebook extolling the virtues of MAXTRAX recovery devices [$299.99]. That's with good reason - MAXTRAX are the go to recovery and traction solution for adventurers around the globe. Lightweight, supernaturally strong, and available in a wide array of colors, no overland traveler should be without at least one pair.

Wavian was one of Overlander's top brands this year, and there's no mistaking why. Their super tough fuel and water containers [$74.99 for the fuel container] come in an array of eye-catching colors, and are thoroughly leak proof. An affordable upgrade to keep your fuel range topped up, and your rig looking great.

These leak-proof steel fuel cans come directly from the Wavian factory that has supplied many NATO countries for over 75 years, and are the highest quality jerry cans on the market today. Rigorously tested, they boast a number of features, including 0.9 mm steel walls, an interior rust-proof Rezol lining, an internal breather pipe for splash-proof pouring, a three handle configuration for easy carrying, a leak-proof bayonet closure, and a locking pin for the cap.
Wavian currently produces the only EPA, CARB, and DOT approved steel fuel cans that are 100% legal in all 50 US states. They include a spout and an adapter for vehicles with smaller filler receivers.
