Off-roading is a passion shared by countless people around the world. So, when that special occasion comes along, you’ll want to treat the 4×4 enthusiast in your life to the accessories and upgrades that help them make the most of this thrilling hobby.
For those serious about off-roading, the following gift ideas will make that birthday or anniversary extra special.
EVC Throttle Controller
Giving a 4×4 vehicle the wake-up call it needs to really unlock its power is easy with an EVC Throttle Controller. Here Mechanic Insider explains more about how a throttle controller works:
“First, let’s take a look at how the ECU works. As you press down on the accelerator, it sends a signal to the ECU to ramp up the signal. However, as the ECU receives the signal, it doesn’t just ramp up the power instantly. Instead, there’s a delay between your input signal and the output to eliminate any jerkiness. But when you put an aftermarket throttle controller into the equation, it modifies your input and the signal it sends.”
By modifying the standard drive-by-wire system, 4×4 owners can harness a more responsive experience and reduce the dreaded throttle lag that slows acceleration and dampens the overall driving experience. The result? A sharper throttle curve that gives you more power and control for off-roading.
Codebreaker Tool
The Codebreaker 4 Mode OBD2 Computer Multifunction Code Scan Tool is the ultimate mechanic hack that has the potential to transform the off-road experience. The dash-mounted Codebreaker goes one step beyond the usual single Malfunction Indicator Light to deliver precise diagnostics and a simple route to repairing the faults and system failures that are holding the 4×4 back.
With this handy tool, 4×4 owners can diagnose their own faults in real-time and at lightning speed to fine-tune the inner workings of their precious vehicles.
