A Simple Guide to Seat Covers

Utes have come a long way from the rugged, bare-bones beginnings, both inside and out. They still retain that go-anywhere readiness, but step inside, and it’s a whole different story from what was usually there just a decade ago. Double cabs in particular have stepped up comfort to a whole new level. And there’s the convenience of new tech to make longer journeys more pleasurable. Some utes even outclass more upscale sedans and hatches, not to mention the available space.

A Simple Guide to 4×4 Lift Kits

The popularity of utes in Australia is largely down to how versatile they are. There’s loads of space, good pick up of speed will be bolted on turbos, and the ability to drive in any terrain. Well, almost.

Another thing about utes is that they don’t look out of place when you install a lift kit. This makes off-roading all the more manageable and you can take your rig to more places than before. Raising the vehicle also gives you more street cred, as kits and utes with kits just look good.

A Simple Guide to Bedlock Rims: Types & Their Advantages and Disadvantages

If you’re considering venturing off the beaten trail, you must make sure your vehicle is equipped with the appropriate gear, which includes getting beadlock rims that will allow you to lower your tyre’s air pressure for maximum traction. Getting your first set of beadlocks can make a world of difference in how your vehicle performs off the road. This is because they allow you to manipulate the tyre pressure as you’d like. Some drivers can get away with setting their tyres to 12-15 psi without the use of a beadlock wheel, but drivers of heavy vehicles require more air pressure to support the extra weight. In most cases, off-roaders adjust the pressure in their tyres much lower, generally in the area between 1 and 10 psi, based on the tyre size, design, terrain, vehicle weight, etc. and the only way to make that work is with the use of beadlock rims.
