Bay 4x4 Centre

When your office changes by the hour, and your ute is carrying your livelihood, it pays to protect it 🛠️

Being a mobile engineering business owner’s workhorse, we needed to make sure this beast could handle worksites, back roads and gravel tracks and everything in between.

Built to last now with:
• ARB 4x4 - New Zealand colour matched Summit MKII Bull Bar, Side Steps & Recovery Points
• ARB 4x4 - New Zealand Intensity Solis Flood & Spot lights
• Bushranger 4x4 Gear Revo MKII winch
• ARB 4x4 - New Zealand 300Kg constant load springs in the rear to support the loaded toolboxes.

💪🏻 Hard-working Ute
💪🏻 Hard-working gear.

If your ute is your office, workshop or even the weekend tourer too, come and chat to the team Bay 4x4 Centre about fitting it out with gear that goes just as hard as you do 👊🏻

🔔 Muddy Vehicles 🔔

While we love the adventures and muddy vehicles, we do ask all vehicles getting work done be dropped off in a reasonably clean condition before any 4X4 accessory installations are carried out.

Excessive mud, dirt or debris can make it difficult to access mounting points, wiring locations, and other critical areas increasing installation time and affecting efficiency.

Vehicles arriving with significant dirt/mud build-up require cleaning before work can commence, adding another charge and delays to your job.

Keep it simple for us to provide you the best service, arrive with your vehicle somewhat clean and ready to go ✅

We appreciate your co-operation in helping us deliver the best possible service and finish to your vehicle 🫡

✂️ BODY CHOPS NOW AVAILABLE Bay 4x4 Centre ✂️

Got tyres bigger than your wheel arches can handle? Sick of hearing that sweet sound of rubber chewing through your guards? We've got the answer!

The boss has dusted off his welding helmet and Bay 4x4 Centre is now offering professional body chops to give your truck the clearance it needs for those bigger tyres and tougher tracks.

All body chop work is completed to a high standard and carried out in accordance with LVV Certification requirements. What does this mean? Your safety, structural integrity and compliance are considered throughout the entire process 💪

✅Professional fabrication
✅Built to meet LVV Certification requirements
✅Strong, tidy finish
✅More clearance
✅Ready for your next big adventure

Whether you're building a serious off-roader, or just tired of your tyres trying to redesign your bodywork - we've got you covered!

⚠️ IMPORTANT LEGAL STUFF ⚠️

A body chop is a structural modification and requires LVV Certification to remain road legal.

If you choose to collect your vehicle without obtaining certification (we can even sort this for you while we have the vehicle!), you will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging that:
- Bay 4X4 Centre has advised that LVV Certification is required.
- Responsibility for obtaining certification now rests with the vehicle owner.

Got questions? Flick us a message ro call the team to discuss your build!

Because sometimes the answer isn't smaller tyres... it's a bigger grinder. 😎

For when you’ve got your daily running on point with constant load suspension, so you’re thinking ‘screw it, I work hard so let’s take the boat to the lake kids’ ….

Aaaand all of a sudden ol’ faithful is popping more of a squat than an entire F45 gym class? 😶‍🌫️

Or in this economy is it, stuff me days I need to tow my trailer to work tomorrow 👀

Either way, a load assist kit is the best way to give you the extra support when the load changes 💪🏻

✔️ Keeps your ride level
✔️ Better towing stability
✔️ Adjustable for changing loads
✔️ Saves your suspension from a mental breakdown
✔️ Suits a range of vehicles, including some vans!

Your vehicle deserves better than dragging its ass around town, to work or to the lake 👊🏻

🚗 Mums car
🛻 Work Utes
🚙 SUV’s & Family Wagons
🚎 The Holiday Camper Van
💨 And the vehicle you swore ‘just needs tyres mate’
