Overlanding & Car Camping Gear & Accessories
Top 10 Best Overlanding & Car Camping Gear and Accessories in 2024
There are tons of great overlanding accessories out there. So much that it might be hard to decide what you want to try out first! That’s why we here at Auto Accessories Garage want to make a few suggestions. After years of working closely with manufacturers, talking with our customers about their experiences, and of course embarking on some campouts of our own, we’ve put together a list of what we consider the Top 10 Best Overlanding Accessories.
10. Ranch Hand Summit Front Bumper
The front-end protection you’ll gain with a Ranch Hand Summit Front Bumper is matched only by its rugged, off-road looks. This diamond-treaded steel bumper features a built-in bull bar and a pre-drilled light bar making it one of the top aftermarket bumpers for overlanders.
The Ranch Hand Summit exceeded my expectations. As with any aftermarket accessory, I had to overcome installation obstacles but the bumper was fabricated properly and it looks great.

9. Sportz Minivan & SUV Tent
We hear from a lot of customers that think tents that connect to your vehicle are just for truck owners. Not so! If you take your SUV out onto the trails, you too can make the most of your cargo space with the Sportz Minivan & SUV Tent. This comfortable tent sleeps four or five people and is a snap to set up!
Setup of the tent wasn't too hard, and it's quite a bit larger than we thought it would be. I haven't taken it out camping yet but did set it up in the driveway and everything for a dry run.

8. ARB Elements Weatherproof Fridge / Freezer
Keeping your food and drinks cold is essential for a successful campout. And if you think you might be hitting a few bumps along the way, an ice chest can be a disaster. Keep your lunch ice cold the easy way with an ARB Fridge Freezer. Multiple sizes are available and this fridge draws less power than a single headlight.
Can't believe I waited so long to get one. No more soggy food and condensatoin. AAG was great to work with.

7. Volant Periscoop Snorkel
Your rig is powerful enough to drive through water, but a little water in the intake can prove devastating. Take your air from up top with a Volant Periscoop Snorkel and forge ahead! This polyethylene performance piece is designed to take on the rigors of the road and includes a polished aluminum grated cover.
Perfect! I like to be no holds barred with my Jeep so this snorkel just opened up a world of opporunties. My only tip: make sure you know how deep the water is. Even a snorkel can only do so much!

5. Westin Off-Road Winch
No off-road or overland ride is complete without a powerful winch. Whether you’ll be getting yourself out of tight spots or helping out a friend in need, the Westin Off-Road Winch will help you do it right. Four available models will allow you to pull as much as 12,500 lbs. with the 6.6 HP 12V Series wound motor.
Getting the most out of my truck is essntial and this Westin winch is really something else. I wouldn't reccomend driving off-road without either a winch, or a buddy with a winch.

2. Curt Roof Rack
Packing gear is essential for any campout, which is why finding extra storage space with a Curt Roof Rack is always a great move. This double powder-coated rack installs easily on most roof rails and offers ample tie-down locations for all the essentials. An extension piece is also available for even more gear.
By far the best roof rack for the money I could find. Took me longer to install because I incorporated it into my Thule rack system and I had to make a custom bracket. As good as anything I've bought for 4 times the price.
