Get Ready for Off-Road Driving with Specialized Lighting

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:42 pm, January 28th, 2010

Celebrate the end of January with some off-road lighting equipment. In some parts of the country, winter is just about over. Welcome the spring weather and enjoy the outdoors by going on an off-roading adventure. For those of you still shivering up in the northern states, you may need to stick to the snowmobiling for awhile longer, but it’s never too early to think ahead. That way you’ll be ready when your spring weather finally arrives.

There are quite a few different manufacturers and models of Off Road Lights, so do a little research to determine which model best fits your needs. Hella’s Rallye 400 Series Off Road Lights are great adaptable off-roading lights. They can be mounted upright, pendant, or sideways without affecting beam placement, and beams are designed to hold steady even on rough terrain. Each light is housed in a rugged, die-cast chrome frame with a revolutionary mounting system that allows lamps to be aimed without the use of tools. One bulb and stone shield are included, wiring harness, clear cover and grille covers are also available.

PIAA Off Road Lights are powered by All-Terrian Pattern (ATP) technology, a PIAA exclusive. ATP provides a beam with the perfect combination of width, height, and distance. Each light kit includes two 12 volt, 135 watt XTRA Xtreme White ATP bulbs, housed in black stamped steel with glass lenses. The kits also include a wiring harness, relay, switch, and 2 black PIAA mesh covers.

Once you have chosen your lights, you should also invest in a light bar to mount them to. CARR manufactures Off Road Light Bars that are designed to mount to your vehicle’s roof gutter. If your vehicle only has internal gutters, CARR’s Gutterless Mount Kit can be used.  The light bar includes special keyed bolts for protection and can hold up to 4 lbs. of lights. CARR’s light bar also has an exclusive feature that allow you to rotate the light bar, leaving your lights facedown for extra protection or clearance needs. It is available in three finishes: polished steel, black powdercoat, and titanium silver powdercoat.

Specialized Accessories for Jeep Off-Roading

Jeep is the oldest brand of off-road vehicles. Since the first civilian Jeep was sold in 1945, Jeep owners have been known for their sense of adventure and desire to explore. Some manufacturers, like CARR, use this knowledge to make specialized Jeep Accessories. So whether you go off-roading often, or just want the look, check out these customized Jeep products!

Windshield Mount Light Bars are a great off-roader purchase. They are designed to mount onto your Jeep windshield’s A pillar, and will not interfere with the removal of the soft top. They can also be used with factory hard tops, if that’s more to your preference. Each light bar holds up to 4-lbs. of lights and includes special bolts that are keyed to protect from theft. Light bars are available in three finishes: titanium powdercoat, black powdercoat, and polished metal. Also, check out CARR’s Rota Light Bars, which can be rotated down for extra clearance space or to protect your lights when not in use.

If off-roading has left your Jeep with damaged or rusting corners, you should look into Jeep Cover Ups. They cover the rear corners of your vehicle, masking flaws with a new, rugged look. Cover-ups can be found in bright polished aluminum or black powdercoat and with or without pre-cut holes for taillights and gas cap. CARR’s Jeep Cover-Ups are proudly made in the USA.

Another specialized off-roading Jeep accessory is Wade’s Jeep Top Wind Deflector. It reduces inside noise while driving with the top off. This can definitely come in handy because it can get really noisy when off-roading. It also deflects wind up and over the vehicle, decreasing in-vehicle air-flow. The wind deflector is easy to install, using automotive-grade tape. Make sure you install it with a couple of days to spare though, because it takes 48 hours to cure. So add even more enjoyment to your off-roading experience by getting some fun (and functional) specialized accessories for your Jeep today!
