Custom 4X4 SUV Modifications
Custom 4X4 SUV Modifications
So you’re the proud owner of an SUV and you can’t wait to ditch the pavement and take off on an off-road adventure. But before you hit those trails, your SUV is going to need some serious modifications. Whether your 4×4 is fresh off the lot or it has some mileage under the belt, it will still need some work done to make it more capable on the trail. Here at Dixie 4 Wheel Drive, we’ve done tons of custom SUV modifications and upgrades so we know just what to do to get your SUV off-road ready.
Off-Road Friendly Tires & Wheels
The street tires your SUV comes equipped with aren’t designed for off-road use. You’ll need to switch them up with beefier off-road tires –all-terrain tires or mud tires- depending on where you’ll be doing most of your off-roading. Off-road tires come with deep treads, heavy-duty sidewalls and the right rubber compound to maximize your traction on tough terrain.
Tire & Wheel SUV Upgrades
Modified SUV Suspension
A Useful Bumper Winch
This is a must-have if you are planning to go off-roading. With a winch, you can pull yourself or other 4x4s out of tricky situations on the trail. So get a winch installed – unless you fancy spending hours stuck in a rut or ditch in the middle of nowhere, waiting to be rescued.
Locking Differentials for Increased Tire Traction
Good Shocks & Suspension
More Braking Power
Upgraded and Modified Vehicle Armor for Protection
Good armor protects your off-road machine from damage while you’re busy traversing the great outdoors.
-
Fender flares
These fit directly over the wheel well and are contoured to match the body lines of your 4×4. Their main purpose is to deflect dirt and other debris thrown by the tires from hitting the sides of the truck and chipping the paint or something worse. They also ensure that oversized wheels and tires are covered so they don’t protrude too far out.
-
Skid plates
If rock crawling is your thing, you’re going to need skid plates to protect the underside of your vehicle from being shredded by the sharp, jagged edges of the rocks you’re driving over. These are fitted under the vehicle to protect the oil pan, gas tank, differentials, engine, transfer case and other vulnerable components.
-
Brush and Grille Guards
The unforeseen hazards on a trail just add to the fun of off-roading. Unfortunately, the low branches, thick undergrowth and unexpected boulders can also do significant damage to your four-wheeler. Brush and grille guards give added protection against these hazards while also giving your SUV some attitude!
-
Front Bull Bar
We’ll admit it- a bull bar does make your SUV look more badass! But other than aesthetics, a bull bar protects the vital parts of your car like the radiator and also provides a handy location to mount spotlights, a winch or aerial.
-
Rock sliders
These provide excellent protection for your rocker panels and can also double up as a step if you’ve lifted your SUV.
