2017 was huge for quality aftermarket kit. Here are six of the best.
TERRAIN TAMER CLUTCH KIT
GIVEN your rig a GVM upgrade or power upgrade, or is it carrying more weight? Perhaps you drive an armoured truck? Either way, your clutch is now probably your car’s weakest point. Never fear, the boffins at Terrain Tamer have released a Fortified Clutch that’s perfect for such vehicles and can theoretically provide up to an 80 per cent increase in torque.
The clutch disc design utilises a unique combination of Velvetouch ceramic material on the engine facing and organic material on the transmission facing, while the cover assembly features a spheroidal graphite anti-burst pressure-plate casting. It’s available for a range of Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi models.

TJM AIRTEC SNORKEL
Got a 2016+ Mitsubishi Pajero Sport but can’t cross rivers? Looks like you need to visit TJM for its Airtec Snorkel. The snorkel is made tough and rigid by using high-grade UV-resistant polyethylene material, as well as stainless steel components.
The aesthetically pleasing snorkel flows with the contoured lines of the Pajero Sport, while installation minimises modifications to the Sport’s original components.

TJM OUTBACK BAR
THE 2017 4X4OTY-winning Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series can now be enhanced via a TJM Outback Bar. To compliment the Cruiser’s tough aesthetics, the bar has been designed to seamlessly blend with the updated design.
Features include 63mm tubing, steel construction, full cato straps, 8000kg rated recovery points, integrated LEDs, flush steel-mounted LED combo lights, reinforced recovery jack points and an integrated winch mount.

IRONMAN 4X4 INSTANT AWNING
Ironman’s popular Instant Awning has been revamped. The awning’s cam-lock telescopic uprights and supports have been upgraded and flexible nylon joints have been added to allow for movement due to strong winds, thus ensuring the track system doesn’t damage.
Velcro pull-over clamps now make unrolling of the awning faster and easier. Ironman uses tough 280gsm rip-stop polycotton fabric for durability, and the stitching is seam-sealed, ensuring the awnings are fully waterproof. The fabric is also rated to UV50+ sun protection and the awning is stored inside a 1000-denier waterproof PVC cover. Other features include an integrated LED light strip (with strip light dimmer), glow-in-the-dark guy ropes and a comprehensive installation kit.
The Instant Awning is available in three sizes: 1.4m x 2.5; 2m x 2.5m; and 2.5m x 2.5m.

RRP: $245 (1.4m x 2.5m); $270 (2m x 2.5m); $295 (2.5m x 2.5m)

ADD superior frontal protection to your 2016+ Isuzu D-Max with an Ironman 4x4 bullbar. A new range of bars is now available and they feature improved approach angles, triple-folded edges, a winch mount, high-lift jacking points, spotlight provisions and an aerial mount.
