Check out this radical new tire design by Michelin. Apparently, this new tire concept was unveiled at the Philadelphia car show.
Auxiliary lights, spotties, whatever you want to call them, are one of the first modification people seem to make to their 4X4. For someone driving an older 4X4 I can understand it. The driving lights on older rigs like 40/60 series Landcruisers are just plain shithouse.
These days new rigs actually come with some pretty decent lighting, right out of the box, so there would be a heap of other mods I’d make before lights. But this is not a ‘why you shouldn’t fit spotties on your rig’ article, so let’s take a closer look at how you can pick the right auxiliary lights for your rig…
For a long time we had a choice between cable or cable to use with our winches. That was until some enterprising individual obviously had enough of cable splinters and lugging around all that extra weight and decided to come up with an alternative. Often referred to as plasma rope — it’s still essentially just a synthetic rope. So which is better? Lets take a look.
Roof racks are a great addition to your 4X4 as they allow you to maximise your internal storage space but allowing you to put the stuff that can dirty on top of your rig. This can be quite valuable if you’re heading on a long trip, or taking the whole family along for the ride.
A winch would almost be the most powerful recover tool money can buy, especially if you travel alone. When you know how to use a winch it’s quite safe, however if you don’t, the result can be catastrophic. This video covers all you need to know about using an electric winch on your 4X4.
Bull bars come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Purchasing a bull bar for your rig isn’t a small investment so it’s important to know exactly what your hard earned cash is getting you. I’ve detailed below so of the important elements to a quality new front bar.
Personalizing your 4X4 can simply be as easy as slapping on a few cool decals to give your pride and joy that unique look. There are plenty of place to snap up a cheep set of decals and some that allow you to design your own. I’ve put together a bit of a collection of decal options for you should you be looking for the new look for your 4wd. Enjoy.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of off roading is getting your pride and joy absolutely covered in mud. Sitting nice and clean in your truck whilst mud flies left and right is guaranteed to excite even the most conservative individuals. As your confidence grows, the depth of the mud and the size of the puddles seem to get bigger. Then before you know it you’re competing with a truck that cost you three times as much as you planned… but the adrenalin, well, is worth it. Whilst its difficult to describe exactly what the feeling is like, I thought I’d show a collection of videos that give you a snippet into the world of 4X4 Mudding.
Installing a body lift kit in your 4X4 is one of the easier modifications you can complete to give your wheel wells that little bit of extra clearance for larger rubber. The install differs slightly from 4X4 to 4X4, but the process is pretty much the same…
