Experiencing life on the wilder side may have been what drew you to overlanding in the first place. Escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life appeals to everyone at some point or another, and with the growing number of almost wild, off-grid campsites across Britain, it’s now easier than ever to go far off the beaten track. With the right upgrades and accessories, you can also transform your 4WD vehicle into an off-grid haven and a home away from home.
Read on to discover the best off-grid 4×4 accessories to buy now and prepare for your next adventure with confidence.
ARB Flinders roof tent
Your first step to creating your very own home on wheels? Adding the necessary overnight accommodation of course, and one way to camp in style when going off-grid is by investing in the ARB Flinders Roof Top Tent.
Designed, developed and rigorously tested across a wide range of rugged conditions, the Flinders roof tent offers the premium build quality, durability, practicality, water resistance and comfort to truly enjoy off-road life.
Its low packed height also means less wind drag and added height, so they’ll be plenty of thrills when driving by day and a cosy base to retire to at night.
Dometic CFX3 fridge freezer
Available with 25, 35, 45, 55, 75, 95 or a whopping 100 litre capacity, our range of Dometic CFX3 fridge freezers and accessories offers all the must-haves for off-road cooling and plenty of space to play with.
Unlike many portable fridge freezers, CFX3 units are built for harsh outdoor conditions, but their rugged nature doesn’t mean they compromise on technology.
As well as being able to cool between +20°C and -22°C (depending on external temperatures) courtesy of its ultra-powerful VMSO3 compressor, app control enables you to manage and monitor your fridge freezer remotely to ensure efficiency whatever your cooling requirements.
Warn winches
To go completely off-grid, you’ll need gear for every scenario, including when the worst happens. If you become stuck or stranded, you won’t be able to rely on recovery services to get you back on the road. That’s where a good quality winch will come in handy, and there’s no better option than our Warn winches.
Providing a premium winch for every situation and budget, Warn is a leading name on the 4×4 recovery scene, and for good reason! Their winches are solid, reliable, powerful and made for self-rescue.

Old Man Emu suspension
Give your 4×4 vehicle the lift it needs to take on any terrain with an Old Man Emu suspension kit. Alongside greater vehicle clearance, a suspension upgrade will allow heavier load carrying, better on-road handling and the ability to enjoy off-grid routes in the most thrilling way as Getaway describes:
“Installing a suspension-lift kit will improve a vehicle’s off-road ability by optimising approach, departure and break-over angles – now your vehicle can take on steeper obstacles without snagging. Also, the increased wheel travel improves articulation (the ability to keep all wheels in contact with the ground over rough terrain).”
ARB drawer system
Keep all those off-grid essentials organised with an ARB drawer system. With its vehicle-specific, modular design, an ARB drawer system makes the best possible use of space in-cab. ARB drawer systems pave the way for completely configurable storage solutions as well as a hard-wearing aftermarket addition that can withstand all the rigours of off-road travel.
