Planning a touring trip across WA or heading off-grid for weeks at a time? You need more than just a 4WD—you need a setup that’s comfortable, functional, and fully equipped to handle whatever the journey throws at you. At ARB Rockingham, we help drivers across the state turn their 4WDs into touring-ready rigs using premium ARB vehicle packages customers trust.
From roof racks and canopies to camp lighting and storage solutions, our expert team works with you to design the perfect build. Whether you’re doing the Gibb River Road, camping along the south coast, or heading into the red dirt tracks of the Pilbara, this guide breaks down the essential accessories and upgrades that make up the ultimate touring fit-out.
Why Touring Fit-Outs Matter
Touring isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about being self-sufficient, organised, and prepared. The right accessories not only make your trip more comfortable but also improve safety, reliability, and your overall experience.
That’s why so many travellers choose to work with us for a 4×4 build consultation. We take the time to understand your touring style, whether you’re heading off-grid for a few days or planning a long-haul lap of Australia. Then we create a complete package of accessories designed to suit your vehicle and your lifestyle.
1. Roof Racks – Carry More, Go Further
When you’re touring, space is everything. A quality roof rack lets you carry everything from swags and jerry cans to solar panels and firewood. We stock and install a wide range of ARB roof racks and Rhino Rack roof racks, designed to handle the demands of long-haul travel.
✔ Great for bulky items like tents and gear
✔ Compatible with awning mounts, roof top tent racks, and accessory mounts
✔ Helps free up space inside the vehicle for passengers and essential items
Whether you’re packing for two nights or two months, a roof rack for camping is essential to a successful setup.
2. Canopies – Secure Storage & Protection
A canopy transforms the back of your ute into a dustproof, waterproof, secure storage space. At ARB Rockingham, we offer 4×4 canopies including premium options like Mits Alloy canopies for tradies and tourers who need strength, security, and smart organisation.
✔ Keeps gear safe from weather and theft
✔ Ideal for fridges, drawers, recovery gear and camping supplies
✔ Works perfectly with canopy and drawer systems for optimal storage
✔ Available colour-coded to match your vehicle
If you’re planning to sleep in the back, carry tools, or keep valuables protected, a canopy is non-negotiable.
3. Lighting – See and Be Seen
Night driving, campsite setups, or emergency repairs—there’s no such thing as too much lighting on a touring build. Our range of ARB driving lights, Bushranger spotlights, and 4WD camp lighting solutions ensures you’re covered in every situation.
✔ LED driving lights for long-distance visibility on highways and remote tracks
✔ Work lights for 4WDs ideal for late-night setups or breakdowns
✔ Awning lights and ambient camp lights for the perfect base camp atmosphere
We’ll help you mount and wire lights safely and efficiently—whether on bull bars, roof racks, or rear canopies.
4. Storage Solutions – Stay Organised
Touring means carrying a lot of gear—tools, recovery gear, kitchen essentials, food, clothes, and more. That’s where ARB drawer systems come in. Installed seamlessly inside your canopy or rear cabin, they offer:
✔ Neat, dustproof storage
✔ Slide-out drawers and fridge platforms
✔ Custom layouts for touring, camping, or work
Combine drawers with your canopy, roof rack, and fridge slide for a setup that works just as well on a beach in Coral Bay as it does in a caravan park in Esperance.
5. Suspension & GVM Upgrades – Load Up Safely
All that gear adds weight—often more than your factory suspension can handle safely. That’s why we recommend pairing your touring fit-out with a 4WD suspension upgrade or GVM upgrade.
✔ Maintain proper ride height and handling
✔ Improve comfort over long distances
✔ Ensure compliance with WA regulations when towing or carrying loads
Our range of Old Man Emu suspension options includes Nitrocharger Sport, MT64, and BP-51 shocks to suit all kinds of travel setups.
6. Power Management & Accessories
Going off-grid? You’ll need a reliable power source. At ARB Rockingham, we can help you build a 12V setup for your fridge, camp lighting, and charging devices.
✔ Dual battery systems
✔ Solar-compatible setups
✔ Inverters, chargers, and outlets
✔ Anderson plug installation
Stay powered up whether you’re in the middle of nowhere or camped at a powered site.
