Four-wheel drive owners have individual needs when it comes to 4WD capability, practicality and style. The 4WD modifications experts at Moorooka Automotive provide a range of useful vehicle modification options and products to enhance your experience when you hit the beaten track.
What 4WD modifications are performed at MAE?
Our goal is to build a 4WD that allows you to travel comfortably, safely, easily and with as much self-sufficiency as possible. What you stay in, who you go with, where you travel and what you get up to form the basis of building your 4WD.
- Suspension
The suspension is one of the most common modifications made to a 4WD. No-one makes a 4WD specifically for Australia’s unique on and off-road conditions; nor do makers build vehicles with steel springs that are designed to provide an excellent ride, ground clearance and handling in fully loaded conditions.
- Bull bars
The main purpose of getting a bull bar on your 4WD is to protect the front end of the vehicle. A bull bar will take the damage off your vehicle if you hit an animal on the road or collide with another vehicle. Bull bars keep you and your passengers safe, while also giving your 4WD a more serious off-road look.
- Protection bars
Front and rear protection bars make your 4WD stronger and better able to withstand an impact, thus minimising damage to the vehicle’s body and passengers inside.
- Roof racks
When it comes to finding the right load carrying solution to suit your needs and lifestyle, MAE has all the solutions under one roof.
- Tyre carriers
Second spare tyres can be essential when travelling off-road and can be difficult to carry. We offer single tyre carriers and twin tyre carriers to fit on replacement rear bars for added protection or fitment to original rear bumper bars.
- Electric brake systems
If you’ve bought your 4WD to tow a camper trailer or caravan you’re going to need an electric brake controller.
- Tow bars and hitch receivers
Tow hitches provide a strong and convenient attachment point at the rear of the 4WD to affix snatch straps while performing recoveries.
- Dual battery systems
A dual battery system is essential for anyone who wants to power their gear without the risk of running a battery flat.
Known also as a ‘locker’, diff locks can make a significant difference in the performance of your 4WD.
- Winches
Winches are an essential risk-management tool when venturing to remote locations and upping the stakes of your 4WD adventure.
- Spotlights
At Moorooka Automotive, we have every type of 4WD spotlight, work light and LED light bar you will ever need for your off-road adventure – delivering optimal visibility in the harshest conditions or the darkest night.
- Snorkels
A must-have upgrade for any 4WD enthusiast, snorkels offer greater fuel efficiency and less air filter clogging by taking advantage of cooler and cleaner air at the roof level compared to air at the bonnet level.
- Awnings
Adding extra functionality to your 4WD without taking up storage space is one of the advantages of attaching a 4WD awning to your roof racks with the added benefit of protecting you from harsh UV rays.
- Aftermarket upgrades
If you own a 4WD and have found its limitations off-road, you may want to upgrade your vehicle with an expert technician to get even further off the beaten track.
