Add Ons And Useful Equipment For Any Diligent Off Road Driver To Possess

Here in the United States our infra structure is very good and the vast majority of our roads are paved

. This means that we are mostly able to drive anywhere at any time. In times of snow the cities and towns that get snowbound are prepared and have snow plows and gritters to keep the traffic moving.

Of course there are large areas in the country and many country and mountain roads which are not maintained by any town and thus are neither paved nor ever gritted so in times of heavy snow may become impassable for the majority of autos. However the farmers who live on these roads and adventurers may well still want to pass.

So they will all have proper 4wd vehicles which need to be adapted for the conditions.

The first adaption for these conditions are tires suitable for driving on snow or ice. Ice tires have little metal studs bonded into the rubber which pierces the ice and enables some grip which the normal, summer tire would not have. Tires like this are just one of the items sold by Smittybilt. Click onto the website for a full look into what is available. The website has a full online catalog available for download.

Besides the Smittybilt XRC winches, which are an essential item of equipment for any vehicle spending time on icy snowy and mountainous roads, there are may other pieces of equipment on sale for the serious off road driver.

The first item for jeep drivers are items to protect the vehicle from scratches and minor bumps. So there are any number of strong bumpers and armor panels available which will defend the integrity of the paint work and the body panels in the event of a minor bump. No one can really protect the vehicle in the event of a serious collision.

Smittybilt XRC also have a large range of roll cages in order to protect the occupants from being crushed in the event of tipping over, which is always possible on mountainous roads.

Full tool kits are of course a vital item, One needs a strong jack to enable the lifting of any wheel off the ground, a wheel brace and of course a spare tire. TIF the road is particularly bad one may be wise to carry 2 spare tires plus a couple of cans of the tire solution that will seal a puncture from inside and provide 1 Psi of air pressure which will enable the driver to get out of trouble and to a place where the tire can be properly repaired.

If one is mechanically inclined and one should be one should carry emergency engine spares to enable running maintenance of the engine and gear box.

And of course there is a medical kit to enable one to bandage up any cuts or abrasions sustained while in the great outdoors and not having access to a doctor or hospital.

Smittybilt website is a pleasure for any outdoors 4wd driver to browse through.
