While there are a multitude of upgrades you might be considering for your truck, one particularly understated but essential option that adds utility to your vehicle is installing electric sidesteps. There are plenty of options for various makes and models and this underrated upgrade can improve the safety and function of everything from your drive to work to when you’re heading off into the bush for the weekend.    What Are Electric Steps? Electric sidesteps are an optional upgrade to your regular truck’s steps. They feature automatic functionality, dropping down when you open your cab door and sliding back up against the truck base when you close it.    Benefits of Electric Steps Electric sidesteps offer two main benefits to your beast's functionality and performance. While a small and easy upgrade to make, they can improve your truck's comfort and safety.  If you’ve altered your truck’s suspension, that extra few inches can make stepping in and out of your vehicle more challenging. Adding to that, when the weather is bad, and your standard steps are a little slippery, they can be a safety risk when you’re exiting your cab.  One of the biggest benefits to electric sidesteps is that they create easier access and come with a textured, rigid design, creating more resistance for you to stand on - even when they’re wet.  When you’re heading out into the wilderness, you don’t want your sidesteps catching on anything you’re driving over and slowing you down or posing a safety risk. Another key benefit to updating with electric sidesteps is that, unlike conventional options, they’ll drop down and pop back up only when you need them. They’re designed to drop when you open your car door before locking back into place after you close it, leaving you to head out into whatever terrain you want without any added resistance.   Comparing Electric Steps to Conventional Steps Depending on the function and form you want for your truck, there are a few comparisons to consider when you’re deciding whether to upgrade. The first is how it alters the appearance of your vehicle.  Conventional, fixed sidesteps stay exactly where they are, with no functionality to move or adjust. They stick out from the side of your cab slightly, changing the front profile of your truck. By contrast, electric sidesteps sit flush against the cab when they’re not in use. They’ll only drop down when you’re entering or exiting, maintaining a more streamlined appearance for your vehicle.  When it comes to weight considerations, you may expect that fixed sidesteps can bear more weight. The reality is that the capacity both electric sidesteps and conventional sidesteps can hold is equal. Our own ORI sidesteps can hold up to 300 kilograms on each side, making them exceptionally strong and resilient.    Cost Considerations Cost is often a major consideration when upgrading your truck, but the cost breakdown between standard sidesteps and electric side steps is very similar. Fixed sidesteps can cost anywhere from $700 to $1400, while our range of 4X4 electric side steps is marginally more expensive at $1899.  For the extra utility and convenience they offer, we’d opt for the electric models as standard.   Installation and Maintenance Our brand offers electric sidesteps for all of Australia’s most popular trucks, including Ford, Chevrolet, and Toyota, without the need to damage your truck when you’re installing them.  Ideally, you don’t want to be drilling into your cab as this increases the chances of rust and corrosion. If you’re buying fixed sidesteps, depending on the brand, some may be clip-on, while others require drilling.    Buy Electric Steps For Your 4x4 From Offroad Industries Today! If you want the best performance, easiest installation, and build quality that can handle everything your roughest rides put down, order your electric sidesteps from ORI today. With Australia-wide shipping, you can upgrade at home or take your vehicle to one of our authorised installers and have it taken care of for you. 

With a world of suspension and lift kits available, it takes something truly special to stand out. Fox Suspension is one of our favourites, and for good reason. Kicking off their journey back in 1974, their origins lie with dirt bike suspension. It wasn’t until later that they evolved to adapt to motor vehicles - including the likes of all your favourite makes like Chevrolet, Ford, Ram and Toyota.  They make model-specific upgrades that take your truck from a regular working vehicle to a beast. Here’s what we rate most highly about Fox Suspension and why you should consider their range for your next big upgrade.    What Makes Fox Suspension A Stand Out USA made There’s something unique and special about a company that, after all these years, has kept its manufacturing processes exclusively in-house. Fox Suspension have kept every aspect from design to creation to testing in the US to ensure the highest quality standards are maintained. It’s because of this advanced design that their range remains more exclusive and is created for a specific range of vehicles. While the range is more particular, it’s executed to the highest possible standards.  Racing origins  You might not be hitting the corners of the Australian outback roads at high speeds, but you could if you wanted to when you’re driving with Fox Suspension. The very first suspension and lift kits were designed for the likes of quad bikes and the Indy car, meaning speed, comfort and control while driving have always been at the forefront of their designs.  High-quality materials Aside from delivering more control and stability when you’re offroading, Fox Suspension use exceptionally high-quality materials in their aftermarket parts. They’re built to last and can take anything you and your next big drive can throw at them. Aluminium alloy is not only lightweight but also dissipates heat more rapidly than other metals. It’s also resistant to corrosion, keeping your suspension in top condition for longer. The internal floating pistons in their suspension kits keep oil and gas separated, giving you the finest control.    Benefits of Fox 4x4 Suspension in Australia While your truck will come with its own manufacturer suspension when you drive it off the lot, choosing a custom suspension or lift kit can transform your driving experience entirely.  Fox Suspension and lift kits are fully serviceable, making them a solid investment for your truck. Their upgrades are built to be abused by the toughest terrain. If anything ever does need to be replaced, you’re covered. You won’t need to replace the whole suspension setup entirely - just the damaged part.  Their control arms, lift kits and shocks are all made for off-road racing, meaning they can handle more extreme driving than you’re likely to be doing in an average day’s work. The Australian roads can get rough, but Fox 4WD suspension can tackle them with ease, giving you more control and comfort when you’re off the beaten track. You’ll have the control and elevation to clear off-road driving with ease when you’ve added a Fox Suspension lift kit.  If you’ve been looking for a lift kit that gives you serious elevation, Fox Suspension’s range delivers exactly that. With up to a heavy-hitting 3 inches of lift, you’ll be able to clear more ground than ever. You can control and refine how much lift you want so you can get things exactly how you like them.  Fox Suspension kits also enable you to add more upgrades to your truck. With greater elevation comes a greater opportunity to crank up the size of your wheels to give you more traction and off-road capability. To give your truck that finishing touch, add on electric side steps to make your newly lifted vehicle a breeze to get in and out of.    How You Can Upgrade With Fox Suspension Experience the difference that Fox 4WD suspension can deliver for yourself by ordering from Offroad Industries. Many of the upgrades can be installed at home, or you can book in with one of our authorised installers nationwide. For more information on which parts you’ll need or personal recommendations, you can contact us at any time.

For a truck that looks as rugged as it is resilient, you’ll want a bumper bar from Addictive Desert Designs. This American brand delivers expertly crafted upgrades for trucks spanning your classic hard-hitters like Chevys and Rams to the trucks that a huge number of Australians know and love, like Fords and Toyotas.  If you’ve never upgraded your bumpers before, it’s time to consider shifting gears and going all out with Addictive Desert Designs. Discover their history, the benefits of their range and which upgrades we think are the best.   The Origins of Addictive Desert Designs ADD was founded in 2007 in Arizona, United States. Since then, they’ve made every truck accessory and upgrade in their Chandler-based factory. With a focus on quality materials, exceptional fitment and utilising the most up-to-date technology, their core range started off with bumper bars. They’ve since expanded to include chase racks and tyre carriers to deliver a comprehensive range that enables you to upgrade your truck to handle everything the toughest drives can throw at you.   The Benefits of Addictive Desert Designs Accessories Front and rear bumper bars give your vehicle more protection in the event of any collisions, help shield your vehicle from debris, and provide some additional impact protection. Not all bumper bars are built the same, and Addictive Desert Designs stands out due to its stringent manufacturing process.  The process starts off simply, with a plain sheet of metal. It’s then laser cut with incredible precision and assembled and welded to the right dimensions for the truck it’s designed for. Next, they powder-coat the metal in their signature black, complete with satin black accent panels. Following that, the bumper bar is sandblasted and coated in a primer for a secondary protective layer to ensure that if your bumper ever does get scratched, it’ll still have a slick look, as well as plenty of protection to keep you covered until it can be repaired fully.  The beauty of ADD Offroad bumper bars is that they’re bolt-on. This means you don’t need to worry about drilling precisely or impacting the integrity of your truck. Depending on the bumper bar you choose, they also come with a range of additional features, including winch mounts, D-ring mounts and driving light mounts. They’re also designed to fit around your truck sensors, so you’ll have all the capabilities you’re used to and then some. Each product is fully custom-made, meaning that when you order, you’ll be getting a product designed and built just for you.   Our Top Addictive Desert Designs Picks Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Stealth Fighter Bar The Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Stealth Fighter Bar delivers a rugged look, along with exceptional protection.

Whether you’re driving on the road off on rugged terrain, protecting you and your vehicle is a top priority. While most people first consider adding bigger upgrades like shock absorption and lifted suspension for a better drive, they’re not the only options you’ve got for better off-road resilience and adding a more aggressive look to your truck.  Bullbars and bonnet protectors are also key accessories you can add to your vehicle for improved safety. They’re typically easy to install and will keep your truck in good condition for longer, as well as giving you extra confidence to head off the beaten track for more adventurous drives.    The Benefits of Bullbars  Aside from giving your truck a more rugged and customised look, bullbars offer a whole lot of benefits. The first of which is increased protection in the event of a collision. They cover the front of your vehicle comprehensively, adding shock absorption.  If you do hit into something when you’re off-roading or are driving at night and something hits your vehicle head-on, your truck will likely come out better off than it would without a bullbar. Bullbars help to diffuse the impact across a wider area, meaning you and any passengers won’t absorb the impact as much in the cab. Not only do they reduce the chances of you or your truck getting damaged, but they can also save you money in the long run on any repairs that need to be completed after an accident.  For trips through rougher terrain, bullbars act as a shield against debris that your truck kicks up. Whether that debris is stray rocks or branches that you’re pushing through, your bullbar will take the brunt of it, giving you more power to push through without risking the integrity of your truck.    The Benefits of Bonnet Protectors Bonnet protectors are a slick and minimalist change you can make to your truck. They’re easy to install at home, don’t typically require any drilling, and serve to protect you and your vehicle when you’re on-road and when you’re heading off into more rugged environments.  They act to deflect debris, including rocks and bugs, by creating a shield at the front of your bonnet. In turn, this helps protect your paint job and windshield and makes keeping your truck clean a lot easier as well.  Bonnet protectors come in a range of styles and heights and can be added to a range of trucks. The AVS range of bonnet protectors wraps fully over the front of your bonnet, giving you a wider angle of protection. They also offer high-profile shields for trucks that need that extra degree of coverage.    Choosing the Best Option for Your Truck Combining both bonnet protection and bullbars not only gives your truck a more custom, rugged look but also delivers a broad spectrum of safety. Choosing the best option for your vehicle is as simple as exploring the likes of Addictive Desert Designs and AVS, then filtering by car make.  From there, you can find the model you’re driving to ensure you’re getting a product that can handle everything life throws at it, all while protecting you and your truck. Many of the bull bars are direct bolt-on, meaning they’re simple to attach yourself at home. The range of AVS bonnet shields have a clip-on design, giving you a safer drive without the need to drill any holes for installation.    Protect Your Vehicle with bullbars, bonnet protectors and other accessories from Offroad Industries  You can find everything you need to keep your truck shielded from the elements and anything that comes its way during your drive at Offroad Industries. Explore bullbars and bonnet protectors, as well as fender flares and weather shields and take your driving experience to the next level. Install them yourself or get one of our authorised installers to take care of it for you. 

Whether you’re heading out on dark country roads, driving to work before the sun is up or want to illuminate your camping spot, truck lighting is a must. Not only does good lighting increase the safety when operating your vehicle, but it also increases the utility, giving you the ability to work and play regardless of where you are or what time it is.  When it comes to vehicle lighting for your truck, there are a lot of options to consider. Which you choose will come down to what conditions you’re in and what you’re using your truck for.    What’s the Difference Between Work Lights, LED Bars and Driving Lights? There are three primary forms of lighting for trucks. The first is driving lights, which can be used in conjunction with standard leadlights. You can also consider adding work lights and LED bars for even more illumination when you’re toughing it out in the outback. There are a few key differences between all three, which we’ll cover:  Driving Lights  When you’re heading out to rural areas along stretches of road with little or no street lights, driving lights can improve the safety and visibility of your journey. Driving lights are made especially for high-speed driving, in contrast with work lights and LED bar lights, which are typically made for when your truck is parked and you’re working nearby.  Driving lights are incredibly bright and powerful, with beams that can stretch long distances, which are particularly ideal for areas where animals cross or you’re heading down winding roads. They’re used in addition to your standard headlights and can be mounted anywhere on the front of your truck, but typically, they’re built into the grille or added with an extra light mount above the windscreen.  Work Lights Work lights are designed for more focused light, made to illuminate a specific area with a more narrow but intensely bright beam. They’re typically smaller than LED bar lights, and you’ll typically mount them on the rear or sides of your truck with some elevation to give you good visibility.  Work lights are usually used to make specific tasks easier in low-light conditions. Whether you’re unloading or reloading cargo onto the tub or your truck or working near your vehicle, they’re a handy addition to have.  LED Bars  Your third lighting option is LED light bars, which are long, broad lights that can be mounted anywhere on the truck, including the roof rack, bumper, or grille. They’re mounted higher to increase their ability to project light further, and they can be used for a number of applications.  LED light bars have variable designs and come in different sizes, lengths, and styles. Most are designed for broad illumination across larger areas when you’re setting up a work site or camping spot or working on something nearby. You can choose between spotlight styles and flood beams, giving you plenty of options when it comes to utility.    How to Choose the Best Option for Your Vehicle When it comes to choosing the optimal lighting for your truck, we recommend picking one based on what you need your lighting for. Consider the following:  A work light is the best option for working outdoors after hours on tasks that require bright, focused light for precision work.  If you regularly head into the country and drive on rural roads with low lighting, driving lights are the perfect solution.  LED bar lights are your best bet for nighttime off-road driving and broad spectrum, wider levels of illumination.  At Offroad Industries, we stock a huge range of truck lighting to give you everything you need to be road-worthy and make the most of your vehicle’s capabilities. If you’re unsure which to choose, you can always contact our team for more information.  You can also install more than one vehicle lighting solution at once. Many truck owners find the combination of driving lights and an LED bar light or work light a great upgrade. They’re also easy to install yourself, though if you’d prefer, you can order from Offroad Industries and take advantage of the expertise of our authorised installers instead. 

There are plenty of options when it comes to lifting your truck, but a few brands in particular stand out and are worthy of a closer look. One of them is Fox Suspension. This company's history goes back to 1974, and they’ve come a long way since their early days of dirt bike suspension. Now, you can get some of the most resilient, hard-wearing suspension and lift kits on the market for your truck.  Read on to discover the history of this iconic brand, the benefits their range brings to your truck, and some of their best sellers.    The Origins of Fox Suspension Bob Fox, the founder of Fox Suspension, entered the industry in 1974 by creating his own motocross suspension. Shortly after, he and his brother launched commercially with an air shock absorber for motocross racing professionals. It wasn’t until 1978 that Fox Factory Inc. was established, and over the years, Fox gradually increased its range and design expertise.  In 1980, Fox branched out into the automotive industry. Fox began creating suspension components for everything from off-road trucks to the Indy car and quad bikes and has been an unstoppable force ever since. Their products are still made in the United States today, with a focus on high-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship.    The Benefits of Fox Suspension There are a huge number of benefits of Fox Suspension and what it can do for your truck.

They provide improved strength, putting more control in your hands, and they’re made to handle even the most challenging conditions and environments. Fox Suspension also offers higher-than-average elevation, with many of their kits offering two to three inches of extra ground clearance.  The materials used are built for endurance and longevity. Aluminium is not only corrosion resistant, but it also dissipates heat more effectively. The lift kits are made with an internal floating piston to keep gas and oil separated. Built to be fully serviceable, Fox Suspension is a great investment. You can install their products in your truck knowing that if you ever run a part into disrepair, you can get it fixed and keep on driving.  Built for professionals in off-roading, you can now get the same technology for your own vehicle.

Fender flares can significantly reduce the amount of mud you later need to clean off, as well as keep your truck in better condition between drives.  Aside from dirt, fender flares like those from Bushwacker can help protect the chassis of your car from flying rocks and other debris. They reduce your chances of getting hit by things that can scratch your paint job or chip your windshield.  Aside from the extra protection they offer, fender flares can make your truck more rough and ready for tougher conditions by allowing more space for bigger tyres. Bigger tyres mean higher ground clearance and more power when it comes to tackling more rugged terrain.

They come in a range of styles and sizes for a range of different models, giving you the ability to find the perfect fender flare fit for your vehicle.  One of the key reason to fit bushwacker fender flares is to ensure you have no tyre poke to keep your vehicle legal in all states and territories within Australia.  The Bushwacker Difference  Bushwacker fender flares aren’t your everyday truck accessory.

You’ll then be able to affix your flares in place, which are held securely on Torx screws and spacers. Make sure they’re secure, but not so tight that they can’t flex in the heat or cold nor dig into the paint on your truck.  If you’d rather have the process taken care of for you, you can always book in with an ORI-authorised installer instead.
