Car stuff is expensive. That’s why it’s important to make sure the gear you buy is durable, dependable, and functional.
In that vein, I consulted GearJunkie’s well-traveled Motors Editor Bryon Dorr. Between the two of us, we curated a list of the best Black Friday deals for dedicated overlanders or casual motor-driven adventurers alike.
Roofnest Rooftop Tents: Up to $1,000 Off
$1,000 off Roofnest’s Falcon Pro rooftop tent sounds too good to be true. But it’s legit (through December 9, that is). The tent has increased space and better weather protection than its younger brother, the Falcon. There are also accessory channels for overlanding gear and space to attach Falcon Pro crossbars for bike and board storage.
Buy NowLeitner Designs Racks and Storage Gear: First Time On Sale
Leitner’s products are thoughtfully designed and super durable, which makes this, their first-ever sale, even more exciting. From now through Nov. 27, you can get 20% off everything at Leitner’s website, including the ACS Forced bed rack (pictured above), GearPODS (an eye-level storage option), and the recently released GearPOD ROOFs (with nifty side-hinge access).
There’s no telling when Leitner will have another sale, so make some room in your Black Friday shopping budget!
Buy NowYakima Believe It or Not Sale: Save on Bike Racks
Yakima’s Black Friday savings comprise up to 20% off select products, so long as those products ship by ground and not freight (sorry, SkyRise rooftop tent fans). So maybe now’s the time to upgrade your bike rack from that crusty old number you bought off Craigslist 10 years ago.
The Stage Two Premium Tray Hitch Bike Rack is perfect for cycling couples and can handle anything from skinny road bikes to chonky fat-tire steeds. It’s got everything you’d want in a top-tier bike rack — it tilts down to accommodate trunks, has high ground clearance for rocky forest roads, and locks in securely without any tools. What more could you want?
Buy NowFront Runner Racks and Accessories: Up to 40% Off
Front Runner has huge Black Friday savings, including 20% off on accessories, 30% off all racks, and 40% off select random items. This Telescopic Camping Light belongs to the latter category and caught my (Andrew’s) eye thanks to its combination of bright illumination, remote control, and telescopic ability. Versatility is the name of the game here, and with a light mounted onto a long pole, you can get visibility on an engine, a picnic table, or anywhere else you need to see in the dark.
Buy NowIcon Vehicle Dynamics Wheels: Up to 25% Off
Icon Vehicle Dynamics wheels are up to 25% off, and offer a potent blend of street styling and backcountry capability. The ALPHA is a good example of what the brand has on tap, with its maximized caliper clearance, strategic wheel offset, and aluminum alloy construction. Icon Vehicle Dynamics wheels are designed to work with the brand’s custom suspensions, which just happen to be 20% off as well.
Buy NowFull Windsor Magware: Overlanders, Campers, and Hikers Take Note
Magnetic flatware might be something you’ll never need — until you open a drawer in your rig after 8 hours of bouncing over gnarly terrain to find absolute chaos. Head that off at the pass with flatware that stays organized. It’s an elegantly simple idea, one expertly realized by Full Windsor. They come in a range of colors to boot, so you don’t have to swap spit with your adventure buddy (unless you want to). Get them for $30 off now while you can!
Buy NowBOXO USA Tools: Save on Top Shelf Tools
All BOXO USA tools are on sale for 15% off plus free shipping with the code BFCM23.
I’ve (Bryon) been using BOXO tools in my garage for about 3 years now. The tools are well-labeled, organized, and have held up to some serious abuse. BOXO toolboxes are also loaded with useful features and can take a beating.
If you need a proper full set of metric tools, especially if you have a motorcycle, BOXO’s latest 103-piece metric MotoBox tool set is a great buy. It fits neatly inside BOXO’s five-drawer hand-carry toolbox, so you’ll always have the right tool when you need it.
Buy NowRadford Racing School: Treat Yo’ Self (For Less)
The perfect gift does exist! Whether for yourself or a loved one, the gift of performance-driving training is one that will create lasting memories and skills.
I’ve (Bryon) attended the Radford Racing School outside Phoenix and can attest to the expert instruction, impressive training facilities, and really fun cars on offer. If you get the chance, you should experience an open-wheel race car for yourself, and Radford offers Formula 4 programs. I’ve driven a lot of fun cars, but never before one with the mechanical grip on offer in one of these proper race cars.
For Black Friday, Radford Racing School is offering 25% off all courses and gift certificates over $500. The sale ends November 27, so go ahead and hop on this for the gearhead in your life (or, you know … yourself!)
