Kit that earns a place in the vehicle

Recovery first. Tyres second. Everything else is a conversation with GVM.

First bag: Recovery
The real upgrade: Tyres
Archive feature: Shocks
The argument: GVM

4WD gear that belongs in an Australian touring vehicle starts with recovery and tyre-pressure control, then lighting, communication, and suspension that matches the load. Archive features on shocks and recovery still have their Drupal URLs.

Definition

Touring kit. Equipment that earns its mass — not a canopy full of unused accessories.

Verify before you travel. Track conditions, permits, recovery ratings, and vehicle specs change. Confirm with parks authorities and manufacturers. This site is informational — not a dealer or booking agent.
