HPD Catch Cans

Catch cans are a great preventative product that can help reduce the amount of sooty exhaust gasses going back into the engine.  Nearly all diesel engines can benefit from having a catch can fitted.  We highly recommend HPD catch cans as they are precision-made in Australia from billet aluminium, they fit well, they are effective and they greatly reduce build up in the inlet manifold.

Intercooler Kits

An intercooler is an aftermarket device that helps to increase the power of a turbocharged or supercharged engine by using a heat exchanger to transfer heat away from the compressed air going into the engine. This results in cooler, denser air entering the engine, which means more power for off-road use. In 4WD vehicles, intercoolers can be beneficial for improving performance and efficiency on off-road terrain and reducing fuel consumption. It is important to consider the size, design, and efficiency of the intercooler and ensure it is compatible with the specific vehicle.

Clutch Repairs & Heavy Duty Clutch Upgrades

BB Garage offers both general clutch repairs and replacements, as well as heavy-duty performance clutch upgrades for 4WDs. For small passenger vehicles, we often recommend a standard clutch replacement if required. However, for 4WDs that have had upgrades to increase power or torque, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) clutches are often not suitable and can slip or fail completely. The team at BB Garage will recommend the best options based on the customer’s specific needs and goals, including NPC Performance Clutches which are an Australian owned and operated business. NPC offer two main types of performance clutches: Heavy Duty and Super Heavy Duty.

Exhausts

Upgrade your 4WD vehicle with an aftermarket exhaust system and experience the benefits for yourself. Improved horsepower and torque, better fuel economy, enhanced sound, and improved durability are just a few reasons why you should consider this upgrade. Our recommended brand, Manta Exhausts, provides a range of customizable options designed to improve airflow and reduce backpressure. So, whether you’re looking for increased power, a better sound, or improved fuel economy, Manta Exhausts has something for every 4WD enthusiast. Don’t wait, upgrade your 4WD’s exhaust system today and take your vehicle to the next level.

4WD Snorkels

A 4WD snorkel is an essential accessory for off-road enthusiasts, as it allows your vehicle to safely navigate through deep water crossings. The snorkel raises the air intake of your engine above the waterline, ensuring that water does not enter the engine and cause damage.

One of the most popular brands of 4WD snorkels is Safari Snorkels, which offers both stainless steel and plastic configurations.

Bash Plates

Bash Plates are an essential investment for any 4WD vehicle that will be taken offroad. They offer a simple and cost-effective way to protect vital components such as the radiator, sump, diff actuator and transfer case from potential damage caused by hitting a washout or unseen rocks/tree stumps. At BB Garage, we highly recommend Custom Offroad Bash Plates as they offer premium 4WD underbody protection. These Bash Plates come in a three-piece plate set and are made of stainless steel with 3mm or 4mm options available. Additionally, they come in a range of custom colours to make your 4WD stand out.

Pre & Post Trip Inspections

Pre and post trip inspections are an important part of maintaining your 4WD. Especially if you’re planning a longer trip or a trip on extremely rough off road tracks, you need to be sure that every part of your vehicle is in great condition before you leave. Pre-trip inspection can include a mechanical inspection as well as a weight distribution check on our SafeTstop to ensure your 4WD is loaded correctly for optimal driving. A post-trip inspection is just as important to check if any subtle damage has been sustained that might later result in a major breakdown.
