MAXTRAX Bush Kit – Cap-it Exclusive Recovery Kit
Designed by Cap-it. Proven in the wild. This isn't just another recovery kit. It’s the exact setup we use in our own Cap-it overland rigs.
The MAXTRAX Bush Kit is a professional-grade recovery bundle built for serious adventurers who demand lightweight, reliable, and trail-tested gear. We've taken the legendary components from MAXTRAX and reconfigured them into a unique Cap-it combination. This kit is purpose-built for overland, trail, and off-road use across Canada.
Whether you're exploring forest trails, getting stuck in the snow, or buried in coastal sand, the Bush Kit gives you the right tools for confident vehicle recovery using soft shackles, ropes, and a dampener system.
