GO STEEPER. DEEPER. FURTHER. WITH DT4X4

Engineered to tackle the harshest of conditions, DT4x4’s wide range of parts and accessories are built for performance and durability

A little over 20 years ago, Drivetech4x4 was launched into the Australian market focused on selling hard parts

Over the years, the Drivetech4x4 range has expanded to axles, steering components, suspension, lighting and other 4x4 accessories to offer the complete 4x4 solution.

Despite its rapid growth, Drivetech4x4 says one thing always remained the same – its reputation for value and quality amongst the nation’s best automotive electrical and mechanical specialists. The 4x4 market has changed a lot since the brand’s humble beginnings 20 years ago, however Drivetech4x4’s commitment to providing quality and value 4x4 products to Australians has never wavered.

From day one to today as one of Australia’s fastest growing 4x4 brands, Drivetech4x4 says it has been a 4x4 brand Australians can rely on.

It says this is why it is now excited to relaunch its trusted brand with an ever-expanding product range under the shortened name, “DT4x4.”

Australians love to shorten names and give nicknames to their beloved people and things, so whilst Drivetech4x4 has been affectionally shortened to DT4x4 by those who know and love it, the brand is now embracing its Aussie heritage and officially calling itself DT4x4.

Whilst the brand may be taking on a shortened name, those behind it say you can rest assured that the high-quality and value-driven product range is doing anything but getting smaller.

With an already substantial product offering, plus new quality products for 4x4 and offroad vehicles launching later this year, the DT4x4 range will have you covered across 4x4 parts and accessories.

With sturdy engineering and rugged materials that are built tough for harsh Australian conditions, DT4x4’s lighting solutions have long been trusted by 4WDers to get them to their destination safely.

The new Light Bar range from DT4x4 is no exception, with die-cast aluminium housing, fully sealed to IP68 and IP69K rating for complete protection against dust and water ingress and EMC compliance to stop any interference with communications equipment.

Featuring an advanced AR optical system and high-powered 5W Osram LEDs, the range boasts combination beam technology ensuring that the light is directed where you need it most while on or off road, including illuminating roadway edges for maximum safety and visibility.

Tested for salt spray, impact resistance, vibration, and UV resilience, DT4x4 says you can rely on its

Light Bars to go the distance and handle whatever the Aussie weather and climate throws at them. Whether you are camping locally, or deep off the grid, having a decent light source makes all the difference. Thanks to DT4x4’s newest LED overhead area light kit (Telescopic Camping Light Kit, DT-5SMD), you can take your campsite to the next level!

The collapsible LED light kit offers impressive illumination to ensure visibility throughout all your outdoor adventures, with an illumination range of up to 50 metres while settling on a telescopic pole that can reach 3.8 metres high.

DT4x4 says you will feel like you are in your home away from home when travelling with this light as it comes with a dimmer switch to select brightness of 25 percent, 50 percent or 100 percent, and can be switched between white and amber colour options. For those that are a bit more daring and find themselves occasionally stuck, reliable recovery gear is an absolute must-have.

The latest addition to the DT4x4 Recovery Range is the Kinetic Recovery Rope (DT-KRR11).

The Kinetic Rope is a lightweight, nine metre, braided rope which offers a high degree of stretch, allowing a safe recovery without huge shock loading on the vehicle and boasts an 11,000kg minimum breaking strength and maximum elongation of 30 percent.

Continuing with its leap into the future of lightweight recovery equipment, DT4x4 has also launched three new products directly replacing heavy steel shackles, snatch blocks and hitches with light-weight synthetic rope and alloy components.

The Soft Shackle Recovery Hitch (DT-SSRECH) and Recovery Ring (DT-RRING) are both machined from 6061 aluminium alloy, with an impressive 5,000kg working load limit for the Hitch and 12,500kg for the Ring.

Impressive in its own right, the Soft Shackle features a 15,000kg minimum breaking strength with a 12 strand UHMWPE fibre rope that floats on water.

DT4x4 also recently refreshed its recovery gear range including Recovery Hitch 4.7 Tonne (DTRECH), 11 and 8 Tonne Snatch Strap (DT-SS11 and DT-SS8), Five Tonne Winch Extension Strap (DT-WES) and Tree Truck Protector with Winch Extension Rope (DT-TTP).

It explains the range was refreshed to meet the latest style and features and is suitable for winch recovery, two vehicle recovery and offroad recovery on sand, mud, or rocks. The range features rated recovery gear, protective covers, and reinforced eyelets.

When it comes to evolving its range, DT4x4 Accessories Product Manager, Renato Russoniello, says the brand can stay ahead and release innovative products that help meet and exceed the needs of 4WD drivers because the brand is built by 4x4 enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.

This is evident in its previously released products, the DT 4x4 Dual Speed Winch (DT-D9500SR & DTD12000SR), which was a finalist for the AAAA 2019 Innovative 4x4 Product award and its patented, DT4x4 200W Wind Generator (DT-WG200).

DT4x4 says its 200W Wind Generator is like no other as the generator is fitted with a patented permanent magnet rotor alternator, with a unique stator design that efficiently decreases resistance torque of the generator. The wind turbines are profile it is a great upgrade to your charging system, allowing you to future proof your charging needs. With the ability to charge both 12 and 24V systems and all battery chemistries, the new regulator enables optimum system charging. As the regulator cleans the power and produces a more consistent output over time, this increases the overall batteries health.

With everything you need to keep an eye on your battery’s state of charge and monitor your complete solar system, this is a great addition to the DT4x4 range.

DT4x4’s innovation continues with the release of its Ultra Slim Six Way and 10 Way Touch Switch Control Panels (DT-SWP06 and DT-SWP10).

The compact slim line design is easy to install and comes with a one metre USB cable to connect to the remote-control box.

The Touch Switch Control Panels are one of the only in the market to be controlled not only manually, but via Bluetooth on both Android and iOS phones.

Renato says that unlike others in the market, the DT4x4 Touch Switch Control Panels are extremely competitively priced and are expandable with the

“The great thing about these switches is that they can be used for your lights, fridges and stereos, but also car horns as each switch can be programmed to be momentary with the easy flick of a button,” Renato said.

DT4x4 says the Touch Switch Control Panels are perfect for any 4x4 application as they are IP67 rated for added protection and have backlight illumination for easy night-time use.

Also in the DT4x4 accessories range is the new Heavy-Duty Battery Box (DT-02008), which the brand says is an absolute game changer in the 4x4 space.

With its high impact PPE battery casing, opposed to the flimsy materials of standard battery boxes, DT4x4 says this portable battery box will withstand all weekend adventures.

Designed in Australia with the 12V caravan, camping and 4WD market in mind, the DT4x4 Battery Box allows you to mount your DC-DC charger on top with a dedicated groove, or inside the top cover, with ample space allowed for the battery underneath – a small tweak that will be welcomed by 4WDers who have put up with awkwardly balancing their DC-DC chargers on competitor models.

Big enough to take a 120Ah AGM deep cycle battery, it features internal battery strap mounts to keep the battery secure, and a separate mounting tray making it easy to remove so you have a portable power supply should you need to power additional devices at the campsite.

The battery box can connect to 12V accessories, and included are two recessed 50A Anderson style connectors, which can be used to charge the battery via your DC-DC or solar and power your fridge. The ever-expanding DT4x4 (formally Drivetech4x4) range is available through Repco, NAPA Auto Parts and authorised dealers nationally.

With more than 20 years of Australian heritage and servicing the 4WD market with quality products, DT4x4 says that with its products, you can go “Steeper. Deeper. Further. on any terrain with confidence.”
