Must-Have Summer Accessories for Your 4x4
You can take your 4x4 on off-road adventures, camping trips, and more outdoor excursions that the average car can’t handle. A truck is ideal for off-road travel, but many accessories exist to make your ride even better equipped for the next trip. This is especially helpful when it comes to seasonal hazards.
The summer and winter seasons deliver very different weather-related hazards, and you can prepare for them all. Explore the must-have summer accessories for your 4x4 if you want to ensure it’s ready for seasonal driving.
Water Tanks
One of the most important accessories for summer activities in a 4x4 is a water tank. Off-roading, camping, and more outdoor activities are fun on warm days. That said, you need to prioritize hydration when you’re outdoors and the sun is shining down.
At Ironman 4x4, we carry water tanks that are easy to transport on roof racks and more areas of the truck for convenient access. Having reusable water tanks ensures that you don’t have to buy tons of individual water bottles before the trip. These water tanks also come in handy when you need clean water to cook and clean dishes outdoors. The dishes won’t get very clean if you use random water from a local river or lake. On the other hand, you can easily access clean water if you have water tanks in your cargo. Our powered water tanks provide convenient access to pressurized water that you can use to wash up at anytime outdoors.
Overland Awnings
Sunny days make it challenging to enjoy the outdoors because the heat can get uncomfortable. Portable awnings can attach to your 4x4 and provide ample shade from the sun.
For example, the overland awnings from Ironman 4x4 include instant straight types that extend outward to provide easy access to shade. We also have the DeltaWing awnings that wrap around the 4x4 to provide additional coverage for sunny days. Thanks to a high-quality awning, you can relax and enjoy the outdoors without enduring the sun shining down on you all day.
Recovery Kits
Our guide to the must-have summer accessories for your 4x4 also includes recovery tools. We offer reliable recovery kits at Ironman 4x4 because getting the truck stuck on off-road terrain is stressful. Luckily, the right recovery gear will ensure you don’t have to sit out in the sun and wait for assistance if your truck can’t get back to the main road.
For instance, our recovery gear selection includes shovels for digging tires out of the ground, as well as winches. A winch attaches to an anchor point and pulls your truck out of rivers, up inclines, and through more terrain-related issues. If you get stuck and a shovel isn’t enough to get you back to safety, then the winch may be the perfect solution. Keep these accessories in mind before any summertime off-roading or overlanding so that you can plan a satisfying outdoor adventure.
