Off-road accessories: Must-haves for every adventure
Adventures off the beaten track offer boundless freedom and a unique view of countries and their inhabitants. With the right off-road accessories, the trip will also be a success.Good preparation and the right equipment
To move safely through the terrain, you need an appropriately equipped off-road vehicle that is in excellent technical condition. Equipped with a high-performance chassis and the appropriate A/T or M/T (all-terrain/mud-terrain) tyres, the adventure can begin. Fans of off-roading know that the right off-road accessories are also indispensable for a successful adventure.
Auxiliary lamps provide the best visibility as off-road accessories
Good lighting is essential for off-road excursions. In addition to regular vehicle headlights, high-performance LED auxiliary lamps, in the form of a light bar for example, are recommended.
These provide a powerful light source for driving in the dark or when visibility is poor. When buying lighting, you should look for waterproof impact-resistant models to ensure durability.
Tyre inflation hose and compressor for the correct tyre pressure
A tyre inflation hose in combination with a compressor is an indispensable tool for off-road adventurers. This allows you to quickly and easily adjust the tyre pressure to the respective terrain. It is advisable to lower the tyre pressure in sandy or muddy conditions, for example, to increase the contact area with the ground. When buying a compressor, look out for models with sufficient power and stable processing.
Water canisters and waterproof transport boxes
For longer trips, it is essential to have a water cannister with a sufficient capacity. The canister should be food-safe, robust and easy to close. Waterproof transport boxes are ideal for protecting sensitive equipment, such as electronics or clothing, from moisture and dust. Boxes made of plastic or aluminium with sturdy closures and seals are best.
For difficult situations: Rope, winch and shackle
A heavy-duty rope or winch, in combination with robust shackles, can help to free the vehicle from difficult situations or provide assistance to other vehicles. Make sure that the load capacity of the winch and breaking strength of the shackles are right for your vehicle. Invest in high-quality models to ensure a long lifetime of the product and safety.
Roof rack and shovel
A roof rack expands the vehicle's storage space and makes it possible to transport additional equipment, such as spare tyres, canisters or transport boxes. Care should be taken to ensure that the rack is suitable for the relevant vehicle model and has sufficient load-bearing capacity. A collapsible shovel is a practical tool for getting out of sand, mud or snow. Choose a model made of robust material, such as steel or aluminium, and look for a compact design for easy storage.
Not surprisingly, gloves are also off-road accessories!
Last but not least: Gloves! Hard-wearing gloves are invaluable in many situations! These Protect your hands from injury When carrying out repairs, during recoveries or when handling heavy off-road accessories. Ideally, the gloves should be made of abrasion-resistant material and fit well. Gloves with reinforced palms and fingertips offer additional protection and durability.
