As we all know, there are many exciting ways for adventurers to explore the outdoors, but the truly adventurous souls know that off-roading is a thrilling and life-changing experience. With beautiful landscapes and the power of nature surrounding you, the experience is unmatchable.
However, you must have your beloved off-road vehicle in pristine shape to conquer the great outdoors. One way to ensure that is by protecting it from common hazards you’ll encounter. Below, we’ll go over some common hazards you need to protect your off-road vehicle from and give a few tips on how to do so.
Let’s Rock ‘n’ Roll: Preventing Rock and Debris Damage
Pebbles, rocks, and other ground debris can be like bullets if they hit your vehicle hard enough. Whether from spinning wheels kicking up debris or sharp rocks on tougher terrain, these hazards can cause dents and scratches on your vehicle’s underside or punctures in your tires. Here’s how you can protect your off-road vehicle from these hazards:
- Install skid plates to safeguard critical components underneath.
- Use durable and well-designed mud flaps.
- Upgrade to puncture-resistant tires, if possible.
Aquatic Adventures: Protecting Against Water Damage
Crossing streams, rivers, or puddles adds thrill and excitement to your off-road journey and will occasionally be necessary to continue your trip. However, it also exposes your vehicle to potential water damage if any of it trickles in. Here’s how to protect against it:
- Install a snorkel for your air intake to avoid sucking in water.
- Keep your vehicle’s electrical components properly sealed or waterproofed.
- Regularly inspect seals and gaskets for leaks.
More Than Just a Scratch: Avoiding Body Damage
Off-roading often takes you through narrow trails with dense vegetation or rocky terrain, creating ample opportunities for body damage. Fortunately, you can use paint protection film to protect your off-road vehicle from these hazards. To further minimize the risk of damages, you should also do the following:
- Use brush guards to defend against oncoming branches.
- Equip your vehicle with quality rocker guards.
- Remove loose items, such as antennas, to avoid snapping them off.
The Unseen Enemy: Avoiding Overheating
Most of the hazards you need to protect your off-road vehicle from are obvious, but many people don’t think about overheating issues. Pushing your off-roader to the limit can sometimes cause it to overheat, especially on hotter days. This can cause reduced performance and, in extreme cases, permanent damage. Here are some tips for preventing overheating:
- Regularly check your radiator, coolant levels, and fan.
- Ensure proper airflow through the front grille and radiator.
- Be aware of warning signs such as high engine temperature.
