Are you planning a camping trip in your four-wheel drive? At Noel’s Progress Road Pitstop, we proudly offer heavy duty 4WD gear built to specification to ensure it withstands the journey and conditions you encounter along the way.
Mud tyres
Mud-terrain tyres are important when it comes to maintaining forward progress on any off-road surface, particularly mud. Mud tyres have wide-open tread blocks that allow them to gain traction more easily in slippery conditions and have the added benefit of being able to effectively clear mud when spinning than tyres with tighter tread patterns.
4WD suspension components
4WD springs
The most crucial component of a 4WD suspension system is the springs. The springs support the weight of your vehicle and control the motion applied to the wheels below as you travel over uneven terrain. There are a variety of spring options, all with different characteristics for different applications.
4WD gas shocks
Suitable for 4WD models with raised suspension kits, gas shocks are perfect for travelling in tough outback conditions including Cape York and deserts. Some gas shocks feature a monotube gas design with a remote canister to increase performance under challenging 4WD conditions.
Greaseable shackles
Greaseable shackles help protect the bushes from premature wear because of the ingress of grit and dirt.
4WD lift kits
A 4WD lift kit is a vehicle modification that raises the vehicle body, resulting in a higher ride height. Adding a suspension lift kit to your 4WD will allow you to increase your tyre size, gaining more traction and greater ground clearance.
4WD lighting
The most important part about a 4WD light is its intensity and distance. There are thousands of different makes and models of LED light bars, spotlights and work lights on the market. Before buying a 4WD light, consider its lumen ratings. A lumen is a measure of the amount of brightness of a light – the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light. Our team at Noel’s Progress Road Pitstop can help advise you on which lights will suit your application so that you don’t purchase a light that is too dull or too bright for the job.
4WD batteries
A quality 4WD battery is essential for any off-road trip. 4WD batteries help you store power for when you need it. The better your battery, the longer you can power up your gear. Chat to our team at Noel’s Progress Road Pitstop for the best deals on the best brands of 4WD batteries.
4WD snorkels
Aside from giving your four-wheel drive a smart aesthetic, the benefits of a 4WD snorkel include improved fuel efficiency, increased performance and reduced wear and tear. The snorkel’s elevated position allows your 4WD to take in cleaner and cooler air that is contaminant free. Moving the engine’s air intake from beneath your bonnet to roof height protects your 4WD from water entering the engine when crossing waterways and avoids dust that is kicked up from your 4WD and the vehicles in front.
4WD safety
Before heading off-road, remember to pack safety supplies, including a first aid kit, shovel and tow rope. A tyre repair kit is another fantastic tool and might just save your bacon.
