WHAT 4X4 PARTS & ACCESSORIES DO I NEED?

Date Posted:25 June 2021 

If you love the great outdoors and travelling off road, chances are you own a 4-wheel drive vehicle. To get the most out of it, here’s a guide to all the essential parts and accessories.

What 4x4 parts & accessories do I need?

To enjoy a comfortable, safe ride make sure you have your vehicle fitted with these great parts and accessories, before you set off on your 4x4 adventure.

 

Bull Bar

Out in the bush, your 4x4 can be vulnerable to knocks, stray kangaroos and other surprises. The smallest impact can cause serious damage to your vehicle and put you in danger so ensure your 4x4 is fitted with a quality bull bar. It will give you a protective buffer and keep you out of trouble.

 

Air Intake Snorkel

Keeping an engine away from water is a must but if you have to go through a water crossing, a snorkel will help ensure water does not get into and damage the engine, which could potentially leave you stranded. Did you know snorkels also come in handy when driving thru dusty plains? They help filter cooler, cleaner air into the engine.

 

Long-Range Fuel Tank

You might not see a petrol station for hundreds of kilometers, so a long-range fuel tank is a must have when you’re exploring a remote region. And if you’re towing a caravan or boat, your engine will chew up extra fuel so having a long-range fuel tank will give you peace of mind.

 

Dual Batteries

A single battery is fine but if you need to use your 4WD’s winch or want to add creature comforts like a car fridge, setting up a dual-charging system alleviates any concern. The extra battery will be ready if the first one goes flat.

 

Winch

If you’re unlucky to have your 4WD bogged in deep sand or in wet mud, an electric winch will save the day. By finding an anchor point to wrap the metal wire rope around, the electric winch is powerful enough to help pull out your vehicle.

 

Roof Racks

If you have a tonne of luggage and supplies, a solid full-length roof rack is an essential addition to your 4x4. You’ll be amazed how much extra load you can safely carry.
