Daystar Trail Box and Mount


If you manage to get through the trails without getting stuck at least once, can you still consider that trip to be off roading?  One of the best parts of going off road is having to get pulled out of harm’s way… assuming that there is someone there who can pull you to safety or that you can actually locate your towing straps.  You need to keep your rescue equipment secure and this is easily done when you store it in your Cam Can Trail Box that is made by Daystar.

Socket sets, screwdrivers, straps and more can all be fit into the Trail Box.  Then, when you need to rescue yourself or someone else. The Box will open up easily to allow you the access to your gear that you need.  These Trail Boxes are made in the USA and from a type of polyurethane resin known as Paxton 7000 series that has been rotation molded.  This means that it is tough enough to survive even the harshest of conditions. 

We all know that nobody buys a Jeep for its storage space.  In fact, if you tried to add a traditional sized tool box to your Jeep, it might make even the toughest person feel a bit claustrophobic.  Instead of taking up the precious space in your Jeep, this Trail Box installs right in the middle of you spare tire that is mounted on the rear of the Jeep.  It has a universal mounting plate that aligns with the lugs in your spare and adds a tough shaft that the Box will sit securely on.  These Trail Boxes even come with a warranty!

Daystar Rocker Switch


The Rocker Switch that is made by Daystar has a 3 pole, marine grade 20 amp design and it lights up red when you turn it on.  This rocker switch will allow for you to color coordinate your switches for all of your aftermarket upgrades while still allowing you to retain the way your dash looks.

 So what do off roaders who are into rock crawling and divers of low riders that kiss the pavement have in common?  Aside from the tunes coming from their speakers, they all have rigs that are full of switches.  While the off road rigs don’t float on their hydraulics, they are prone to blast the trails with their auxiliary lights as well as come to the rescue of rigs that have been downed by pulling them out with their winches.  They also have been known to re - inflate a tire or two with a massive air compressor.  Now, it is even easier – and better looking – to control all of these amazing accessories with one of the rocker switches that are made by Daystar.

Don’t confuse these switches with the flimsy universal switches that you will see coming with most gear.  Each one of these rocker switches that Daystar makes has been made to conform to OE standards.  They have a 3 pole design and have been rated to 20 amps which means that they have the backbone that is needed to be able to handle even the gnarliest of off road accessories.
