If you are like over 200,000+ Aussies who bought a brand new Dual cab Ute last year, or even a used Dual cab ute, you are aware of all of the practical features offered by the manufacturers including Bluetooth, ANCAP safety ratings, traction control, climate control and all of the other features now considered standard equipment!

Sometimes these fancy factory bits and pieces just aren’t enough! If you, like us, have a taste for upgrading, modifying and enhancing your vehicle, it’s a good idea to checkout some of the epic bargains on offer from 4WD Supacentre, this gear is top shelf but you can snag yours for a bargain price!

LIGHTING!

Through summer the hours driven at night time, aren’t as high, but approaching the end of daylight savings, the daylight hours are getting shorter and the creatures that go bump in the dark are more likely to come out to say g’day through the colder darker months.

The solution to avoid collisions with the native wildlife, is aftermarket lighting!

LED Lightbars

Over the years LED Lighting has advanced by leaps and bounds, with upgraded state of the art technology, and engineered for the harshest Aussie conditions you can encounter, the latest range of LED lightbars offered by 4WD Supacentre are seriously hard knockers!

With 2 main lines, the Illuminator MKII LED lightbars fall in the more affordable end of the spectrum whilst still being made tough enough for rough conditions!

Whilst the Domin8r series of LED Lightbar are seriously competitive with the LED Spotlights available on the market whilst offering more spread of light to light up the sides of the track, helping to avoid hitting, trackside hazards!

Whichever LED Lightbar you choose, you should also make sure you grab an LED Lightbar wiring harness for the easiest installation, simply plug and play with most makes and models, and enjoy the massive light output on offer from the aftermarket LED lighting Solutions.

Storage drawers

Utes are famed for their practicality with large cargo area in the tray its easy to see why vehicles like the Toyota Hilux 4×4 dual cab sold more models than any other make, model or brand of any other vehicle in Australia.

However, if you need to organize your cargo space to keep your tools sorted or like to lock away all of your camping gear in the tray ready at any given moment to escape into the bush, a set of Titan rear drawers + a wing kit.

Easy to install in an afternoon, a set of Titan 1300mm Rear Drawers easily adjusts to fit many different models of vehicle, and with the custom wing kit can be custom fit into nearly any vehicle.

Built out of solid galvanized steel and with roller bearings you can load Titan Rear Drawers right up with all of your critical gear. They also use heavy duty steel latches which can be locked, meaning sticky fingers won’t have an easy time trying to knock off your goodies!

ROOF RACKS

Whilst many manufacturers offer reasonable quality roof racks, there aren’t many that can do that for under $300 bucks, whilst currently not having specific mounting brackets for current model dual cabs other than for the Toyota 79 series dual and single cabs that include rain gutters.

However, using some clever mounting ideas, you can quickly and easily, upgrade your roof top storage.

A good quality steel Roof Rack, offers the perfect place to chuck bulky gear like Maxtrax mkII recovery treads and even an Adventure Kings Awning

Awnings

Seen mounted to stacks of vehicles all over Australia, an Adventure Kings Awning offers an impressive amount of shelter and shade and can be easily mounted to your vehicles sports rails in a lazy afternoon.

These are just a few tips and tricks for the first handful of modifications you can make to your 4WD dual cab ute, but this is just the beginning, if you are adventurous a set of RAW 2” suspension lift kit will give you more clearance when you are off the tracks, but the sky is the limit!
