Do these work on all terrain types?

These mats perform best in sand, mud, and snow where they bite into loose material. On solid rock or hardpan, effectiveness depends on how much the surface grips the panels — test-fit in your typical terrain before relying on them for deep extraction.

Can I use just one mat, or do I need both?

For most vehicles, you'll want both mats to create a dual-track path under your wheels. Using a single mat limits traction and may not provide enough surface contact to get unstuck on the first attempt.

What's the best way to store these long-term?

Keep them flat or stacked in a dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration. A cargo box, truck bed corner, or garage shelf works fine — just avoid extreme heat or moisture exposure.
