With 2024 flying by at an extraordinary pace and spring already officially underway, getting prepared for Father’s Day is certain to be on many people’s minds. If your dad is a self-proclaimed lover of all things 4×4, you’ll find tons of gift inspiration right here at 4×4 Works.
With parts and accessories for every budget, you’re certain to find a great gadget or piece of kit for that special man in your life. Here are our top picks for Father’s Day 2024.
Throttle controller
Give your dad the means to tap into his 4WD vehicle’s full potential by gifting one of our throttle controllers.
With increased power, decreased throttle lag, improved versatility, and a vehicle-specific, upgrade compatible setup there for the taking, the addition of an EVC or evcX throttle controller is sure to brighten his day as well as provide endless thrills both on the road and off.
Unsealed 4×4 explains how a throttle controller can make for an adaptable and enjoyable driving experience across various terrains:
“… you can dial the controller down so if you inadvertently mash the accelerator the throttle input won’t be nearly as aggressive, so you won’t start bunny-hopping through the ruts. While in soft sand, another great use for the ‘economy’ settings is that they will let you accelerate without spinning the wheels, so you can stay up on top of the soft stuff instead of spinning and sinking through it.”
ARB recovery kit
Having recovery gear you can rely on whatever the conditions is another must for overlanding enthusiasts. Our ARB recovery kits provide everything dad needs (minus the winch – but more on that later!) to facilitate self-rescue on and off road.
From ground anchors, extension straps and tree trunk protectors to soft shackles, recovery gloves and carry bags, our recovery kits are protective, practical and premium quality.
Winch
If you’re really looking to spoil your dad this Father’s Day, our winch collection is a what’s what of solid, reliable recovery gear. Warn is just one of the world-leading winch brands we stock, with their winch kits the products of more than 50 years of experience.
Warn winches have been designed and developed to perform in the most strenuous conditions. Their kits use state-of-the-art components and innovation to tackle hauling and winching tasks with ease, precision, speed and safety.

Swag tent
As a one-person, roll-up canvas bag, the swag tent is a must-have for any explorer/overlander. The best swag tents are made from premium quality, durable materials that keep water, cold and critters out where they belong.
Compact yet perfectly formed, these easy to use and convenient camping accessories may be small and simple but they have been designed and developed to withstand some of the most challenging camping terrains on the planet. The earliest incarnations of the swag were actually made with the rigours of the Australian Outback in mind.
