A Look At A Few Of Four Wheeler Accessories Available On The Market

By Mike Paul


Four wheeler accessories have been used to build some of finest off road vehicles to date. Using select items can transform a stock vehicle into a machine that tears up mud and spits it back out. But before this can be accomplished a person must locate the parts they desire and this is done via the web and specialty shops.

A few available items for upgrading stock rigs include lighting kits, winch systems, tires and engine modifications. Each of these items can be done independently of each other or all at once for the person who has a lot of money. Upgrading a vehicle is a great way to improve its overall performance when traveling off the street.

Light kits are used to increase the viewing distance of a vehicle past the limitation of its own headlight systems. These kits usually come standard with a type of fog lamp that is affixed to the vehicle in one place or another. Additionally people can purchase spot lights which come in mounted and hand held designs.

It is inevitable that driving in off road conditions a person will get stuck or witness someone get stuck at one time or another. When this happens having a winch attached is a wonderful thing because it allows a person to get themselves free or help others in the same situation. These units are generally mounted to the front or rear of a vehicle and are commonly electrically powered.

Another item that is essential for these vehicles is a good set of tires especially ones designed for muddy or rocky terrain. When it comes to tires of this type the bigger the better along with the wider the tread the better as it allows the tires to throw mud rather than collect it. There are many different models of tires available and can become quite costly when purchasing new ones.

With the bigger tires comes the need for engine upgrades to enable the vehicle to push the tires. Numerous upgrades can be implemented into an engine including increasing its horsepower by boring out its cylinders and putting bigger ones in. Other ideas are putting custom exhaust systems in to increase the engine air flow.

Four wheeler accessories are fun to look at and install, they also however cost some serious money. When searching for upgrades just keep in mind cost of purchase and cost of replacement for the parts acquired. Also be safe when travelling off road and be mindful of property and life when playing in the mud and on the rocks.
