Rough Country Tailgating Gear That Turns Your Truck Into Party HQ

If you’re rocking a Jeep Wrangler JL or JLU, this Folding Tailgate Table is the unsung hero of your tailgate setup. It bolts right into the tailgate with a no-drill install and flips down into a sturdy surface with built-in cup holders. Rated to hold up to 75 lbs., which is about the weight of your entire food spread… including your buddy’s questionable chili.

Don’t let the size fool you—this cooler is a beast. We’ve run the Rough Country 20 Qt Cooler through a two-day Tennessee heatwave, and it still had ice when we got home. It’s built for rough roads, hot days, and cold drinks, with bonus features like a built-in bottle opener and tie-down slots so it stays put.

Tailgating on the move? Grab the Insulated Backpack Cooler and go hands-free. We’ve taken this one across stadium lots and into campgrounds, and it’s as comfortable as it is functional. Holds up to 24 cans, fully waterproof, and easy to sling over your shoulder without soaking your shirt. Perfect for walking over to swap brisket with your neighbors or hiking to the best view in the lot.

When you want to bring the big guns, roll in with Rough Country’s 40L Portable Refrigerator/Freezer. This dual-compartment powerhouse plugs into your vehicle and keeps everything cold without the ice melt mess. We’ve used it to stash steaks, sodas, and even ice cream—no soggy buns or waterlogged drinks. Set your temps, roll up, and you’re good for the entire weekend.

Nothing kills the vibe like a tailgate that slams down like a brick. The Tailgate Assist takes that drop from “ouch” to smooth and controlled. We’ve installed these on trucks used for both work and tailgating, and the difference is instant—you can open it one-handed without spilling a drink.

Tailgating isn’t just about food and football—it’s about the laughs, the stories, and that feeling your truck was built for this. With Rough Country gear, you’re not just showing up—you’re setting the bar. We’ve tested this lineup in every kind of lot and weather, and they’ve passed with flying colors. Whether you’re upgrading your tailgate table game or keeping drinks cold without ice, these products are built for the job—and backed by our warranty.
