Crashpad Stealth MK2 Wheel Bag - More than just a rubbish bag.

February 26, 2026

The Crashpad Stealth MK2 Wheel Bag didn’t just enter the wheel bag market, it helped define it, setting the benchmark for what external spare wheel storage should look like and how it should perform. Today after almost a decade on the market it continues to be the best 4wd wheel bag on the market.

2016 - The First Prototype

Back in 2016, the first Stealth prototype was built the old-fashioned way, hours on the sewing machine, hands-on, refining every panel, strap, and seam. One of the first bags introduced into the Crashpad range, it quickly proved itself as a durable and practical storage solution. From the beginning it resonated with the market and thousands sold early on.

The Bag That Made the Industry Stand Up

The original Stealth didn’t just sell, it shifted the category. Wheel bags went from basic rubbish sacks to a core touring storage solution. It made the industry stand up and take notice. If copying is the sincerest form of flattery then we were on a winner as they came in droves to copy the Stealth platform.

Back to the Drawing Board

Crashpad has always taken pride in standing out, not blending in, being different. So it was back to the drawing board and sewing machines to evolve the design. The shape remained as it was proven and now widely adopted across the industry. But the focus shifted to refining identity and performance.

Introducing the MK2 Identity

We introduced the signature design feature the ‘eyes’, a refined grey logo application. These changes elevated brand identity while maintaining the proven functional design.

So Why did the Stealth MK2 become Australia's Go-To Wheel Bag?

A reputation is not just handed out, it is earnt and we have worked hard to have the Best 4wd Wheel Bag in Australia. How did this happen:

• We designed it, it wasn't bought out of a catelogue or purchased from another company to copy. Every stitch, panel, logo, buckles was tried and tested.
• Large storage capacity which is important for 4wders.
• The quality of materials we use.
• Registered design features.
• The customer reviews and word of mouth.
• Nearly a decade in the market.

It is More than Just a Rubbish Bag.

The Crashpad Stealth MK2 wheel bag while commonly used for rubbish is a full external touring storage platform. You can carry recovery gear, wet and muddy clothes, firewood kindly, sullage hoses, all sorts of things to keep the wet and stinky mess outside your vehicle.
