If you love adventuring, touring different places, off-roadin, and camping, only 4x4 vehicles can offer you the experience you desire. Notably, 4x4 vehicles are modelled to withstand harsh off-road conditions. However, although stock 4x4 accessories do the work, they offer the bare minimum. Besides stock accessories, you need an additional 4x4 fitout to get the most out of a truck. The 4x4 fit-outs you need depend largely on your off-roading requirements. This article highlights some of the basic 4x4 fitout you should get for your vehicle.

Removable Water Tank — One of the most important accessories you should include in a 4x4 fitout is a removable water tank. Notably, water is a critical resource when camping or off-roading because it can be used for consumption, cooling a car engine or washing a truck. It is why you should add a removable water tank under a 4x4 truck. The tank size depends on ground clearance and a truck's weight capacity. Considering prerequisite factors prevents the installation of an oversized container. Most importantly, an additional water storage unit will make your off-roading and camping trips better. Just remember to store drinkable and undrinkable water separately. 

Side-Steps — 4x4 trucks allow you to fit a rack on top and use it to tie down belongings during travels. Notably, trips like camping to off-road destinations usually require various items, including safety gear, tools, spare parts and camping supplies. Loading and offloading such items onto and from a roof rack can take a toll on your back. A clever solution that every 4x4 truck owner must get is a side step. The accessory hooks onto the front door's lock loop, allowing you to gain a height advantage. A roof rack is easily accessible with the side step, making the hauling of heavy items on and off a truck effortless.

Long-Range Fuel Tank — The essence of off-roading is driving to remote terrain challenging enough for 4x4 trucks. However, the terrain challenges lead to high fuel consumption, quickly draining a truck's fuel tank. It explains why some 4x4 truck owners travel with extra fuel in plastic containers rather than rely on a vehicle's sole fuel tank. Unfortunately, it can be dangerous should the container leak. A long-range fuel tank is a better alternative and an excellent accessory for a 4x4 truck. As its name suggests, a long-range fuel tank carries extra fuel with the sole purpose of increasing a truck's travelling range. Long-range fuel tanks made from cross-linked polymers are even better because they do not add much weight to a truck.
