While you might not need extra gear to go places in your 4x4 (with the exception of tyres), they can be very handy in making your trip a breeze.
Light bars to help you see where you are going and watch out for pesky night dwelling denizens that might ruin your radiator, winches to get you or a mate out of a tight spot, and drawer systems to keep things in order, this selection of 4x4 gear is a welcomed addition to any 4x4.

MSA 4X4 Explorer Storage Drawer System: Volkswagen Amarok TDV6
The MSA 4X4 Explorer Aluminium Storage Drawer system suits the 2017-plus Amarok TDV6 that runs AdBlue. Believe it or not, the AdBlue addition to the ’Rok necessitates a tweak to the design and build of the drawer system to ensure it meets that model’s ADR compliance regulations.
The 1350mm double-drawer system includes left and right drawer modules, L/R wing and fit kits, the double drawer join kit, double trim and the floor extension, and it’s built to MSA 4X4’s exacting standards to ensure optimum storage without compromising vehicle/occupant safety.
The MSA 4X4 Explorer storage drawer system is light and strong (capable of holding up to 250kg of gear per pair) thanks to its aluminium construction, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Also available for pre-AdBlue Amarok models at the same price.
