An epic family adventure requires so much more than a great 4×4 or off-road car. Exploring as a pack means a setup that’s not only off-road capable but comfortable and family friendly, and this relies on exactly the right upgrades and accessories.
With a modified rig, overlanding and family can go hand-in-hand, and your 4×4 can become the home away from home you’ve always dreamed of. Read on to discover the top accessories to turn your 4×4 into a family adventure vehicle…
Recovery kit
Putting safety first is of course important. Whether travelling solo or as a family, you’ll want to rest safe in the knowledge that you have the gear to recover your vehicle quickly. That’s where our recovery kits are useful.
Providing the essentials for any self-rescue mission, our recovery kits are designed for serious off-roading as well as family travel. This means they are heavy duty and made to deliver results whatever the challenges or conditions.
Roof tent
Enjoy an elevated sleeping experience, quick setup and a space suitable for a family of three (2 adults and 1 child) by investing in our ARB Esperance Hard Shell Roof Top Tent. It’s the perfect family friendly addition to your rig! We’ll let 4×4 Community explain more about the features that’ll make family travel that bit more convenient not to mention utterly captivating:
“Focusing on quick and effortless setup and pack down time, the all-new ARB Esperance Rooftop Tent features an internally stored telescopic ladder, gas strut assisted opening and closing and boasts 12V lighting to make touring a breeze. Extra creature comforts such as a stargazing moonroof and ample internal and external storage ensure that this contemporary design speaks to newcomers and seasoned campers wherever you choose to explore.”
Roof rack
If you’d prefer to stay a little closer to the ground when setting up camp, use your roof to house a different yet equally useful family adventure upgrade. A roof rack is a storage solution that has big potential, maximising the space available to carry supplies with ease and preserve passenger comfort in-cab.
Our Front Runner roof racks offer a vehicle-specific, modular, low profile design that’s made for travelling with family and all the gear that involves! Their Slimline II rack is particularly versatile and lightweight – it has an all-aluminium construction that’s 30% lighter than steel! It also provides the durability you’d expect from a premium quality off-road essential.
Drawer system
Another must-have for staying organised during your family adventure, and keeping supplies as accessible as possible, is a 4×4 drawer system.
Our Drawer Systems allow you to make the most of the storage space available inside your vehicle courtesy of stackable, lockable units with impressive capacities. Whether selecting a vehicle-specific or universal design, a drawer system is a safe, secure and simple way to stow all the essentials.
Slide out kitchen
Your family camp simply wouldn’t be complete without one of our ARB Slide Kitchens. This premium accessory combines a modular drawer system with a slide out kitchen to create the perfect family friendly setup.
This innovative design is completely freestanding when extended, not to mention sturdy and durable thanks to its high quality stainless steel fittings and runners. It features everything an outdoor kitchen should, such as a stainless steel worktop, 3-burner gas stove, 12-litre collapsible sink (with dish drying base and utensils holder), benchtop drawers, clip-on sink and spice rack, and locking storage drawer.
