There are more than a few poser accessories ready to hoover your wallet clean.

Look, we get it. We know some drivers actually use their off-road rigs and its accessory load in the manner for which it was designed. Rolling through deep water, clambering over rocks the size a gazebo – there are plenty of people who genuinely use the equipment they buy.

As for the other group…

How many times have you seen a fully kitted SUV tackle nothing more than that patch of gravel at the mall? Snorkel-equipped G-Wagens braving the mean streets of Beverly Hills? Jeeps with fake beadlock rims? Exactly. It makes you want to make them attend Sarge’s SUV Bootcamp, right?

Beadlock wheels are brilliant inventions, perfect for saving the day of desert ‘wheelers who like to air down their tires in an effort to grab the greatest amount of traction possible. But fake beadlocks? They’re an affront to all the research and development plowed into the real things.

Drivers who install snorkels but never use them are also frustrating. Snorkels are a killer addition for those who need the things, acting as cheap insurance against sucking in water at the most inopportune of times. Engines like to compress air but find it difficult to compress water, don’tcha know. And if I’m going through the trouble of drilling a big hole in the side of my rig for a snorkel assembly, you can be guaranteed I’m going to use it.

Mounting shovels and jacks to flat surfaces of your off-road ride is a great way to free up interior space for other stuff while still bringing essential recovery tools to the trailhead. It’s easy to spot unused equipment – look for gear that’s still just-out-of-the-package fresh with nary a nick or paint chip.

And don’t get us started on machines bearing waaayyy too many LED light bars.

What do you think is the ultimate poser accessory?
