Get wild and equip your 4x4 with the best 4x4 accessories on the market today. Your 4x4 is your life, so why should you give it anything less than the best in 4x4 parts? New lights, covers, body armour, suspension, air compressors, tires, bumpers, differential locks and much, much more in the way of truck accessories is waiting for you. Read below for a list of the hottest items to have on your 4x4 this season.

• Bikini tops
Not the kind of string bikini you would spy on a hot summers day, but a header that attaches to the windshield, giving it a clean look and feel. Bikini tops transform any Jeep into the ultimate ride. This is a very favourable modification for the Jeep owner who wants to add a touch of class to their ride. This is one 4x4 part that you should not be without.

• Covers – Seat and Tire
You seat cover takes a beating each and every time you drive. Dirt, sweat and other unhygienic matter attaches itself to the seat of your car over time. This presents itself in the form of an odour that often demands a full car wash. Remove this dirty blight with a stain-resistant cover, adorned with catchy logos or images. A snug tire cover is the perfect way to look after your Jeep’s spare tire. Protecting your tire from dirt and damage is no laughing matter, so fit a moulded tire cover and armour-plate your expensive investment.

• Storage and security – extra space with highly secure locking mechanisms
4x4’s come with ample space; this is partly why they are such desirable vehicles to own. Now you can purchase a ‘lockup and go’ storage kit to increase space and secure your valuables. If your 4x4 is scruffy and unsecure, a durable centre console is the ideal option and an excellent investment. These consoles are moulded into the shape of your Jeep model and provide organisation space amidst the chaos. Glove boxes, overhead consoles, rear storage trunks and many more options can make an incredible difference to the interior of your Jeep. Add a further layer of security to your ride with door- and bolt locks. These marvels prevent your doors from being lifted off the hinges – a popular way for the determined thief to get to your valuable possessions.

• Air systems
True 4x4 enthusiast and those who find pleasure in climbing the more slippery of slopes know that a deflated tyre is the best way to provide good traction for the long road ahead. When the tyre needs re-inflating on the other hand, you do not wish to spend the whole day blowing it back up. This is why an air system is so valuable. With a compressed-air system, you will never be short of a ready supply of air, which can be used for more than your tyres. The power in the compressor can make short work of a rubber dinghy to boot.

• Bumpers
For the rock-crawler extraordinaire, a sturdy 4x4 bumper is the way to go. The tough winch plate accommodates most winches, making installation a breeze. Installation is typically a no-drill affair; which allows 4x4 enthusiasts of any experience level to mount the bumper of their choice. It is best to protect your quality 4x4 parts with a sturdy and reliable series of bumpers.
