3 Must-Have Hilux Off-Roading Accessories

The Hilux has dominated the 4×2 and 4×4 ute categories for quite some time and is undeniably Australia’s best-selling car thus far in 2022. There’s the choice of frugal petrol and diesel engines and trims to suit all buyers. The workmate is a tradie’s best friend, while the Rogue and Rugged X models are perfect for off-roading fun. 

As for accessories, there’s a decent amount of optional kits offered as OEM. But most buyers will be better catered to by the huge selection of aftermarket goodies. 

Off-roading requires the Hilux to have basic front-end protection, decent lighting and recovery essentials to get you out of a tight spot. Any extra gear, like spare tyres or camping gear, should sit on a well-appointed roof rack. 

Though, you shouldn’t stop there. Better protection for those larger wheels and tyres is handled by Hilux flares in the design and colour of your liking. Pair this with serious suspension upgrades and better airflow, and choose your destination.

Pallet Wrapping 101: Find Out Everything You Need to Know About Wrapping Film

No matter what type of business you look at, you can always expect to see stretch film being used for everything from securing pallets and stillage during transport, to protecting equipment and machinery from dust and moisture while they’re in storage.

Stretch wrap is made from extremely flexible, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and wound on corrugated cores that allow it to be dispensed either manually or automatically. Its durability and high tensile strength not only make it one of the most versatile forms of packaging ever developed, but its UV and chemical resistance properties make it the perfect bundling material for a range of environments that would render other packing materials completely ineffective.

A Complete Guide to Toyota Hilux Seat Covers

If you’re getting your ute new and straight from the dealer, seat covers might not be the first item on your options list. Possibly because everything OEM is a rip-off anyway and there is more choice and affordable prices elsewhere. Or that you just haven’t put much thought into the wear and tear your seats will endure. Compare the condition of the seats after a few years of use, and you’ll soon find out what you’ve been missing. This is more pronounced in cars like 4WDs and SUVs that get battered off-road, or need to carry a range of tools, equipment and gear to the workplace.
