The questions which each person purchasing 4WD accessories should make it whether they are getting good value for their money. Whether the products they are buying are actually what they need? The following are a few common mistakes which could be avoided when purchasing these accessories.

• Set realistic expectations. If you have a amped up 4WD you won’t really be getting the amount that you have spent on accessories. What you would be getting is the amount based on the current market value. You may get twenty percent more max and that’s about it. So every penny that you throw on these accessories which don’t even count is money just spent in vain.
• Of course some modifications may increase the value but not all therefore choose the right accessories which do actually improve the performance of your vehicle.
• Your expectations from your 4WD should actually help you decide the right accessories. Whether you choose to go on rocky terrains or simply cruise along the beach, choose the accessories accordingly.
• Suppose you purchase a 4WD then you go on adding accessories trying to make it into something which it could never be. This is one of the major mistakes which most people make. If you are looking for a hardcore 4WD experience, choose accessories which would help it become just that. Don’t for fancy names and brands just because you like what you see. Take expert opinion.
• Dot fall in the trap of over modifying your 4WD. Just because you are an avid traveler when it comes to your 4WD, you don’t need to invest in huge power upgrades to enjoy using it.
• You need to use a 4WD which complies to road safety and legalities as well. Some accessories while improving the performance are not considered safe and could land you up in more trouble than necessary.
• If your vehicle consists of tires more than 50mm, the height of your vehicle goes up too. Do you think it’s wise considering that you might need to use the vehicle for underground travels as well?
• The huge tires might look pretty cool but do you think those are practical? You would be spending a great deal on fuel. However adding bling to your vehicle is okay but always consider it being practical or not.
• Not considering the amount of weight the 4WD can carry it is mentioned in the manual. However the 4WD is designed for carrying excessive weight but not about every weight under the sun.
