4WDbits is New Zealand’s leading on-line retailer of affordable quality 4WD parts and accessories.

There is a multitude of equipment and modifications available for the many 4WDs available in New Zealand. Aftermarket accessories range from recovery equipment to vehicle modifications. What is required when heading off road depends where you go, if you’re going with others, why you’re going and of course ‘the budget’

For the first time off roader heading to somewhere like the 4WD Park we recommend a few basic recovery items, enough for the roving recovery teams to do their job without great cost. While we offer advice and basic instruction in using recovery gear, we recommend anyone keen on off roading to join a club to gain experience.

With more advanced off roading comes the requirement for a more capable vehicle. While the person behind the wheel makes a big difference to where a vehicle can go, having a more capable vehicle also makes a big difference. A more capable vehicle has more clearance and more equipment. More clearance means approach angle, departure angle, ramp over angles, axle/underbody clearance. How more clearance is obtained depends on the vehicle and can include larger tyres, body lift and modified suspension. Equipment includes recovery points, winch, recovery gear, compressor, radio, navigation, lights, ground anchor, jack and much more. With a more capable vehicle comes the desire for more power and the need to maintain reliability without shredding the budget.

There is a wide variety of equipment available and the 4WDbits team can help you choose based on what you want to do. You can trust the guys that use and abuse their own 4WD bits.
