Summer may be coming to an end, but there’s still time to indulge in an off-road adventure. Summer is a fantastic time for off-roading but it’s also a season that’s pretty unforgiving as RussalGear explains:
“One of the best off-roading seasons of the year is almost upon us: summer. The warm breeze, clear skies, and long days all combine to create an exceptional off-roading experience. However, off-roading during the summer isn’t all sunshine and roses. If you aren’t careful, off-roading during the hottest month of the year can pose a few safety risks.”
Whether you’re planning an impromptu summer road trip or you’ve been counting down to your expedition for a while, you’ll want to incorporate these upgrades to get your 4×4 primed and ready as well as keep you and your passengers as safe as possible when travelling off-road.
Recover your 4×4 from anywhere
If your summer road trip is taking you to the depths of the planet’s most difficult-to-explore places, you’ll need to be prepared for the worst. Sand, mud and other adverse ground conditions do more than just slow you down, they can bring your 4×4 vehicle to a complete standstill. That’s where our recovery gear comes in.
From winches, hidden mounts and full bumpers to recovery boards, hitches, points and complete kits, every recovery upgrade matters.
Protect your vehicle’s underbody
Don’t let the rough terrain make a meal of your vehicle. Invest in underbody protection to keep your 4×4’s most vulnerable parts safe, secure and intact.
As the ultimate form of protection, your skid plates can prevent many a mishap off the road. Underbody protection offers a cost-effective and efficient way to provide essential coverage under your 4×4, saving you thousands in repairs and recovery in the short and long term.
Go the distance with a tank upgrade
Fuel is one essential that you just couldn’t be without, and as you’ll discover, the best off-road hotspots aren’t exactly rich in fuel stations. Ensure you have the fuel you need for the journey without adding weight inside your rig or on your roof rack by investing in one of our long-range fuel tanks before your trip.
Add a snorkel to your vehicle
Ideal for use in hot, dry and dusty environments, snorkels are worthy investments that will enhance engine performance in the toughest settings. They’re also easy to install and maintain, which will be much appreciated before and during your summer off-road trip.
The benefits unlocked by snorkel installation in terms of fuel efficiency also make these robust and reliable snorkel kits must-haves for any 4×4 enthusiast.
Invest in all-terrain tyres
Whilst 4×4 tyres are one upgrade we don’t supply here at 4×4 Works, they’re crucial for safe off-roading, whether you’re adventuring in summer or any other season.
We recommend using all-terrain tyres to ensure your vehicle is prepared for use both on the road and off. The best all-terrain tyres unlock a wide range of advantages for serious off-roaders, including great performance, increased comfort, tough grip, low noise, excellent durability, and a smoother ride even on rough ground.
