Looking for the perfect gift for the off-road lover in your life, look no further! Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone special, we’ve put a list of presents that we think any 4WD'er will love!
#1 Lightbar
When off-roading at night, it can be difficult to see potential hazards on the road ahead. No matter what 4WD you own, you’ll find that headlights just aren’t enough to light up the track!
Lightbars provide a powerful and bright light that adds an additional spread and throw of light, that their headlights just can’t achieve! The addition of a light bar means that you’ll be able to illuminate the track and see any hazard with ease.
#2 Bullbar
4WD'ing involves navigating your vehicle across some very rough terrain that can have all sorts of hazards including rocks, ruts, sticks and sometimes animals! The last thing you want while you're 4WD'ing is a collision that ends your trip entirely!
Bullbars provide vehicles with an extra level of protection by absorbing collision impacts and protecting the front of your vehicle and your passengers. A bulbar is also a great mounting point to attach off-road equipment like winches and lightbars.
#3 Snorkel
To keep a vehicle moving it needs two main things, fuel and air! However, dusty, unsealed roads, smoky exhausts and deep-water crossings act as barriers. A car takes air through valves in the engine block, if you’re going through a water crossing and water gets into these valves, your engine could seize leaving you stranded in the middle of a water crossing!
A snorkel creates an alternative way for the vehicle’s engine to receive the air it needs. It also gives the air filter a break by taking in cleaner air and feeding it into their engine.
#4 Winch
If you love hitting hardcore trails or find yourself solo driving often, you’ll love the convenience of having a winch! A winch means you’ll be able to pull your vehicle through rougher, more challenging terrain where a tug from a tow strap just won’t cut it. Winches also minimise potential damage to a vehicle by allowing you to recover vehicles with slow, controlled movements.
If you want to tackle tough trails safely especially when driving alone, a winch is an accessory you absolutely need!
#5 Dashcam
Most people purchase dashcams to capture potential accidents. However, dash cams are not only great for capturing footage when on the road, but they’re also amazing for recording off-roading trips too! Dashcams provide another way to record track conditions and give you another way to capture and collect amazing trip footage.
