\nBefore you even start to worry about upgrading your 4×4, you should first give consideration to preparing for all types of eventualities, including boggings and breakdowns. A quality recovery kit<\/strong><\/a> will include at least a snatch strap and a couple of rated bow shackles to allow you to either recover another bogged vehicle or allow another vehicle to recover you if you get bogged. Add in a tyre repair kit so that you have the ability to plug small puncture holes caused by rocks, screws or tree roots. The range of Hercules recovery gear<\/strong><\/a> and tyre repair kits<\/strong><\/a> from 4WD Supacentre are excellent value and cover everything you need.<\/li>\n
\nIt doesn\u2019t matter what type of 4×4 you have, you can always use more storage! If your 4×4 didn\u2019t come with a roof rack<\/strong><\/a>, then you should definitely consider fitting one early on. You\u2019ll use it all the time, whether it\u2019s for runs to the hardware store, helping a mate move or especially when you\u2019re going camping. Being able to store large, lighter but bulky gear like swags on your roof rack will mean you don\u2019t have to chock the inside of your 4×4 full of gear, and that\u2019ll make everyone happier! At 4WD Supacentre, we retail a full range of heavy-duty steel roof racks<\/strong> <\/a>to suit everything from a single cab ute to a full wagon, with multiple styles depending on your usage.

<\/li>\n\nAnother added bonus of fitting a roof rack is that it allows you to fit a 4×4 awning<\/strong><\/a> easily! An awning is one bit of camping gear that you\u2019ll use so often once you have it. You\u2019ll find yourself rolling it out on the job site, down at the park when the kids or the dog are running around, and especially at camp. A 4×4 awning<\/a><\/strong> is just so easy to use and setup and provides such excellent shelter that you\u2019ll wonder how you ever did without it. 4×4 awnings mount to your 4×4 roof racks and a quality awning like the Adventure Kings awnings<\/strong><\/a> range will come with included mounting brackets so you\u2019ve got everything you need in one box.<\/li>\n
\nWhen you start to go camping more often you\u2019ll want to power camping gear like LED camp lights<\/strong><\/a> and a portable fridge<\/strong><\/a>. If you try and run this type of 12v camping gear off your starter battery, you\u2019ll flatten it and not be able to start your 4×4 again in the morning. That\u2019s why you need a dual battery system like the Adventure Kings Smart Isolator Dual Battery Kit<\/strong><\/a>, along with an Adventure Kings AGM deep cycle battery<\/strong><\/a>. These two bits of 12v camping gear will allow you to run a 12v fridge<\/strong><\/a>, LED lights<\/strong><\/a> and other camping gear like an inverter without risking flattening your battery.<\/li>\n
\nWhen you start to wander out of phone range and explore further afield, google maps won\u2019t be much help to you! That\u2019s why you need a dedicated GPS like the VMS touring 700HDX GPS Navigator<\/strong><\/a> that we retail here at 4WD Supacentre. It\u2019s one of Australia\u2019s best-value 4WD GPS units and comes pre-loaded with the entire country\u2019s worth of mapping of 4×4 tracks and campsites. Best of all it doesn\u2019t need phone reception to run either!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
