ARB TRED HD Recovery Boards, Pair, 42.91", Aqua (TREDHDAQ)

The ARB TRED HD in Aqua is a pair of recovery boards, the enthusiast board that sits between GT and Pro, built to get a stuck four wheel drive moving again when traction is gone in sand, mud or snow. Each board measures 42.91"L x 12.36"W x 2.44"H, the pair weighs 15.21 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 ARB publishes no vehicle weight rating for this model, so we do not quote one. The TRED HD formulation is rated by ARB for ambient temperatures from -15°C (5°F) to 70°C (158°F), and the boards carry ARB's published lifetime warranty.

What's Included:

• Two TRED HD recovery boards in Aqua

Features

Engineered Nylon Body
The HD is built from a custom blend engineered nylon that flexes under the vehicle rather than cracking. The mix of elasticity and rigidity keeps pressure on the tire while the board conforms to whatever is under it.

TRED-LINK Nesting
HD boards nest entry ramp to shovel end with other TRED GT and HD boards, so a set of four becomes one continuous recovery surface with no joiners to lose.

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 -15°C (5°F) Through 70°C (158°F)
ARB rates the TRED HD formulation for ambient temperatures from -15°C (5°F) to 70°C (158°F). That is the published operating window, and it is the reason the board stays usable in snow recoveries as well as sand.

Shovel, Handles And Contour Ramp
The shovel end clears debris ahead of the tire, the handles carry a wet, sandy board without fighting you, and the contour ramp gives the board a controlled lead-in instead of a step.

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

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.
