Calculating delivery estimate…

The ARB TRED GT in Military Green is a pair of recovery boards, the entry point into the TRED range, built to get a stuck four wheel drive moving again when traction is gone in sand, mud or snow. Each board measures 42.72"L x 12.28"W x 2.44"H, the pair weighs 12.13 lb, and a stacked pair is only 3.31" thick so they store flat against a rack or behind a seat.

What makes a TRED work is the SIPE-LOCK grip profile: ARB shaped the teeth from 3D scans of the tread patterns on the most popular tire brands so the board engages the water evacuation channels on the tire rather than simply being pressed into the mud. ARB rates this model up to 8,800 lb vehicle weight. The TRED GT formulation is rated by ARB for ambient temperatures from 0°C (32°F) to 55°C (131°F), and the boards carry ARB's published lifetime warranty.

What's Included:

Two TRED GT recovery boards in Military Green

Features

Automotive Grade Polypropylene
The GT is built from automotive grade polypropylene for impact resistance and durability at the most accessible price in the TRED range, without dropping the grip profile that does the actual work.

Concave Ramp And Convex Profile
The concave entry ramp puts more surface against the tire for initial bite, and the convex board profile lets the board conform to the direction of the terrain as the vehicle rolls out of the hole it dug.

SIPE-LOCK Grip Profile
The patented grip profile is engineered to engage the water evacuation channels on the outer edge of a tire, the sipes, rather than just pressing knobs into rubber. ARB developed the pattern from 3D scans of the most popular tire brands.

Progressive Variable Tooth Design
Tooth distribution and shape come from ARB's research across hundreds of tire manufacturers' tread patterns, so traction builds progressively instead of the board either skating or grabbing and stalling.

Rated For 0°C (32°F) Through 55°C (131°F)
ARB rates the TRED GT formulation for ambient temperatures from 0°C (32°F) to 55°C (131°F). That is the published operating window, and it is the reason the GT is the warm-weather board in the range.

Published Vehicle Weight Rating
ARB rates the TRED GT up to 8,800 lb vehicle weight. We print the figure ARB publishes and nothing more, because a recovery board rating is not something to estimate.

Sold As A Pair
This part number is a pair of TRED GT boards in Military Green. A pair recovers two wheels; buyers running a four wheel drive in deep sand often keep two pairs.

Fitment & Compatibility

Use case	Fit
Any four wheel drive, truck, SUV, van or ATV bogged in sand, mud or snow	✓ Fits, universal
Roof rack or bed rack mounting	● Needs TRED mounting pins and baseplate, sold separately
Stacking with other TRED boards for a longer surface	● TRED-LINK nests with other TRED GT and HD boards
Use as a bridging ramp between two fixed points	✗ Not what ARB designed these for

Fit guidance: Recovery boards are universal. There is no vehicle application to check and nothing bolts to the truck. The only thing to plan is where the pair rides when it is not in use, because a wet sandy board does not belong loose in the cabin.

Installation

Type: No installation. Deployment tool used at the point of recovery · Time: Under a minute to deploy once you have cleared in front of the tire · Tools: None required. The shovel end of the board is the digging tool · Difficulty: Easy

Clear sand or mud from in front of the drive wheels with the shovel end, wedge the ramp end firmly under the tire, and drive on with gentle steady throttle. Wheelspin is what destroys recovery boards. Nobody should stand behind or in front of the vehicle during the attempt, and boards should be leashed if you want to find them afterwards.

About ARB

ARB started in 1975 in a Melbourne garage, when Tony Brown began building bull bars for the four wheel drives crossing Australia's outback, and it has grown into the largest 4x4 accessories maker in the southern hemisphere. TRED joined that range as ARB's recovery board line, and it is the part of the catalogue where a single component decides whether a day ends at camp or on the end of a strap.

In North America ARB operates from Auburn, Washington as Air Locker Inc., backing every product with a US warranty program. Prestige Truck is an authorized ARB dealer. Every board and mount we ship is a genuine US-market TRED product covered by the warranty term ARB publishes for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

Will the TRED GT fit my truck?

Recovery boards are not a fitted part. There is no vehicle application to match: they go under a tire, not on the vehicle. The only fitment question is storage, and mounting to a roof rack or bed rack needs the TRED mounting pins and baseplate, which are separate part numbers.

What is the difference between TRED Pro, HD and GT?

Pro is the top of the range: EXOTRED dual composite construction, directional entry and exit ends, and a 9,900 lb rating. HD is engineered nylon, slightly smaller and lighter, and nests with GT boards. GT is automotive grade polypropylene, the lightest and most affordable, rated to 8,800 lb, with a narrower published temperature window. All three share the SIPE-LOCK grip profile.

How many do I need?

This part number is one pair, which recovers the two wheels you put them under. That is enough for most bogged situations because you only need to get moving. People who spend real time in soft sand or deep snow commonly carry two pairs so all four wheels can be supported.

What is the vehicle weight rating?

ARB rates the TRED GT up to 8,800 lb vehicle weight. Match that against your vehicle's loaded weight, not its curb weight, and remember the boards carry the wheels that are actually on them rather than the whole vehicle at once.

Will they survive wheelspin?

Every recovery board is damaged by sustained wheelspin, this one included. The TRED GT body is built to flex and resist wear rather than shatter, but the correct technique is gentle throttle until the tire climbs on. If you routinely spin tires during recoveries, the TRED Pro with its EXOTRED dual composite construction is built for exactly that abuse.

What is the warranty?

ARB publishes a lifetime warranty on TRED recovery boards. Note that the TRED mounting accessories, pins, baseplates and leashes are a separate 1 year term, so do not assume the board warranty covers the hardware.
