The Overland Directory
The all-round off-road shop: lockers, gears, armor, winches, lights and the knowledge of how they work together on your platform.

A 4x4 shop is where parts become a working vehicle. Most sell and install the major brands, and the better ones will talk you out of parts you do not need. For overland use, ask them to think about reliability and weight rather than looks.
Typical work
Ask about the unglamorous work.
Start from the problem, not the part.
For most dirt-road travel, no. Good tires at the right pressure and careful driving go a long way, and many modern 4x4s have capable traction control. A rear locker becomes worth it when you regularly cross terrain where a wheel leaves the ground.
If you travel alone, a winch is the one recovery tool that does not need a second vehicle. It also needs a bumper that can carry it, a battery that can feed it, and practice. If you always travel with others, traction boards and a rope may be enough.
Tires, then recovery points and basic recovery gear, then whatever your first few trips tell you is missing. Trips are cheaper than parts and much better at showing you what you need.
