Four Wheel Drive Accessories: Ways to Modify Your Vehicle for Off-Roading

Driving a hot rod may be fun for some people, and for others, exploring the wild may be more relaxing and enjoyable. But what if you could explore the wild with a manly vehicle? Well, here’s where 4x4s can make your experience in nature more entertaining, especially if you’re an adrenaline junkie. Off-roading is one of the many activities that involve exploring nature’s most beautiful landscapes. Even if you just want to go camping in a remote place, a 4×4 is almost always the preferred option.
Off-roading may seem like an activity that’s bad for the environment but in fact, it helps preserve the environment. By following carefully selected paths, you not only preserve the environment but also help in making what nature has created accessible to more people. 4×4 owners can be the watchmen of the wild. But for that to be the case you need to equip your 4WD with some 4WD accessories on every off-roading adventure.

Must-Have Off Road Accessories

Bonnet Guard

Sometimes, the simplest accessories can make the biggest difference in making a safer and more convenient ride. Bonnet guards are one of those accessories. They are mounted on the bonnet and help fend off rocks and bug splatters from the windshield. If you start looking into these four wheel drive accessories online you’ll learn how bonnet guards can help make your vehicle more aerodynamic. Improved vehicle aerodynamics mean a lower drag coefficient and thus, more efficient fuel consumption. With this affordable piece of plastic, you can save a lot of money down the line.

Lights

While your 4×4 already comes with headlights on it, installing some additional lights can make things better. It’s not that the headlights on your vehicle are not powerful enough, but rather that with aftermarket 4×4 lights you can illuminate much more. You can see in the dark far better and have peace of mind you’re safer since you can use 4×4 lights to shine light further down the road. There are different kinds of 4×4 lights, including Halogen, HID, and LED lights.
LED lights are the most preferred four wheel drive accessories online off-road enthusiasts get since they are the most efficient and long-lasting. Additionally, LED lights provide a bright beam for their size and power consumption. HID are the most capable when it comes to light output while Halogen ones are also a great all-rounder option.

Bullbars

Bullbars are usually metal tubes going over the radiator and headlights to provide protection from frontal impacts. Together with a bonnet guard, bullbars improve the safety of your vehicle even when you encounter animal strikes or impacts with rocks and trees. Just make sure you get the right type of bullbar made from solid materials, such as steel or aluminium. Plastic bullbars are not as strong but they are not going to be as harmful as steel or aluminium bullbars when it comes to fuel economy or you can go for something like a nudge bar. One place where you can put 4×4 lights is the bullbar. 

Rain Guards

If you want some fresh air to get into your cabin, but you don’t want the sprinkling rain to make the interior of your 4×4 all wet, then you should consider installing rain guards. Rain guards are small pieces of acrylic plastic that provide protection from the rain and help reduce outside noise, while also allowing you to open your window wide enough so fresh air can come in. You won’t have to blast your AC when going over humps and bumps on a hot day. No mud will get inside as long as you keep a two-finger wide opening.

Towbar

If you’re going on a week-long adventure in the Outback, then a trailer is almost always a must since you’ll need a lot more supplies and gear. To safely haul all that gear and off-road equipment, you’ll need a towbar that will enable you to safely attach a trailer at the back. There are different types of towbars, such as flat tongue, swan neck, horizontal hitch and rear step towbars. A horizontal hitch towbar uses a square tongue which makes them ideal for heavy-duty towing. A flat tongue towbar, on the other side, is used only in lighter towing situations since the tongue is secured with only two large bolts.
A swan neck towbar is more commonly found in Europe, but you can also install one if you want a modern-looking L or U shaped towbar. A rear step towbar is made specifically for 4×4 vehicles. They protrude out a little bit from the rear of your vehicle but they offer better ground clearance than what a normal towbar does. Keep in mind that rear step towbars are a lot heavier than normal towbars and can only be used on a 4×4 or ute.
