Off Road Accessories
If off-roading in your SUV or tough truck is your routine adventure, having the right off-road accessories for your ride is essential for tackling the rugged trails. Lamda produces some useful and niche off-road vehicle accessories, which you might like to try.
- Portal Axles: Increased ground clearance is probably the main reason why serious off-roaders choose to fit portal axles to their vehicles. The second reason is higher torque. Lamda’s Portal Axles reduce the probability and frequency of vehicle breakdown.
- Hydraulic Winch: Lamda’s hydraulic winch is designed especially for the heavy-duty work and helps you overcome issues like overheating, structural damage, and struggle due to the poor vehicle electrical system. It is free spool clutch operated by an easy action lever which disengages the gearbox to allow the wire rope to be pulled out without using winch power. Since it does not use battery power, it can provide a full and constant performance throughout the job.
- Free Wheel Hubs: Free wheel hubs or Locking Hubs engage or disengage the front half shaft (drive shaft) from the hub of the front wheels. This allows the 4WD to behave in the same fashion as a conventional two-wheel drive car with only the rear wheels being ‘driven’. It is only when 4WD is selected and the hubs set in the ‘locked’ position that the vehicle operates as a four-wheel drive – with power being applied to all wheels. Free wheel hubs were designed to reduce friction and the amount of moving parts in four-wheel drive vehicles. In theory, a car uses more fuel to turn the drive shafts and the extra drag created by powering the front tyres.
- Differential Lockers: A differential lockers (or diff locker) can make a significant difference in the performance of your 4WD in certain situations. Also known as diff-lock or locker, it is a modification to the standard automotive differential. Its purpose is to restrict each of the two wheels on an axle to the same rotational speed regardless of the traction available to each wheel.
