We’re supposed to be advertising these ARB drawers, but we’re still trying to figure out how you run out of fuel on the last lap of Bathurst.. 🚗💨

Anyway - here’s the drawers! Built tough and designed to make the most of your cargo space, this ARB 4x4 - New Zealand drawer system keeps your gear secure, organised and easily accessible. Bonus, there’s also room for a Jerry can 👀

Can’t help with fuel, but Bay 4x4 Centre can help with storage solutions 🙌🏻

My last drawing was a hit - so welcome to our new Friday series…

✏️ 4X4 Stuff: Explained Correctly, Drawn Badly!

Every Friday we’ll take something 4X4 related, explain what it actually does, and TL will attempt to draw it.

EP. 01: Snorkels; Not just a fancy chimney.

While it won’t automatically turn your vehicle into a submarine… a snorkel raises your engines air intake - helping it breathe cleaner air in dusty conditions and reducing the risk of water entering the intake during water crossings.

⚡️ Cleaner air
⚡️ Less dust
⚡️ Reduced risk of water ingestion
⚡️ Air Ram helps seperate rainwater from incoming air

So whether you’re eating dust on the tracks, or eyeing up the mighty Mohaka thinking ‘yeah - she’ll be right’ - a snorkel is a bloody good place to start!

EP. 02 dropping next Friday 👀

** she’ll be right is not an approved water-crossing strategy

The Wolftrak just got a little more serious 👀

This Ranger Wolftrak came our way from the team bayfordnapier for an ARB 4x4 - New Zealand Summit MKII Bull bar fit-up - and we reckon it suits it bloody well 🤌🏻

A tidy factory-style finish, added front end protection and one very good looking Ranger heading back out the door 🤝

We work with local dealerships, businesses, fleet customers and private owners for everything from a single accessory install through to a complete 4WD fit-out.

Got a vehicle that needs the ARB treatment? Come have a chat to us. We do offer finance too!

🔧 MEET THE TEAM - PHIL 🔧

Apparently “meet the team” doesn’t actually require anyone around here to willingly show their face - so your official introduction to the man behind Bay 4x4 Centre is a photo of him doing what he’d much rather be doing anyway… in the workshop welding.

Meet Phil - Director, qualified Transport Engineer, resident problem solver and the bloke behind Bay 4X4 Centre.

And when we say qualified Transport Engineer, we don’t just mean he’s handed a piece of paper and told where to weld - he understands the engineering behind what’s being built, designs it, fabricates it and turns it into the finished product.

If you’re wanting a body chop done, this is the guy you want doing it 💪🏻

Its that same background that Phil has carried through to so much of what gets done here at Bay 4X4 Centre. From body chops and fab, to suspension, accessories and complete 4WD fit-outs, mechanical work and those weird jobs that leave the rest of us scratching our heads for a minute - Phil is generally the bloke everyone eventually goes looking for.

If there’s a problem, he usually has an answer. And if he doesn’t? Give him a minute, he’ll get one.

Very much a black-and-white kinda bloke, if something will work he will tell you. If something won’t work, he will also tell you. There’s not a huge amount of sugar coating involved, but there is a genuine desire to do things properly and make sure anything leaving our workshop is something we’re happy to have our name behind.

Outside of work, he’s severely outnumbered by 4 females at home, loves his golf, loves his Southern Comfort, absolutely hates fish.. and occasionally makes decisions that prove being a qualified engineer doesn’t automatically qualify you to make sensible choices.. I.e jumping off the roof into the swimming pool 🫠

(Yes, he has since been informed if he hurts himself doing dumb s**t, he’s going straight to a home - who says romance is dead ❤️😂)

So that’s Phil ✨ The boss, the brains, the engineering know how, and occasionally the reason the marketing lady needs a drink 🤭

Father’s Day is coming up this weekend.. and what does Dad really want?

A tie-down! Because nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” quite like giving him another ratchet strap to add to the 47 he already owns 😂

Perfect for trailers, roof racks, loads in the Ute… or just wandering around looking for something that needs securing.

And remember - the load isn’t secured until Dad gives the strap a good yank and announces “That’s not going anywhere!” 👋🏻

It’s basically the law.

🎁 Practical. Useful. Better than socks.

Bay 4x4 Centre - keeping dad’s tied down this Father’s Day 😏

Meet the team - TL.

Well, apparently it’s her turn, so she’s given us this great photo of herself and to be fair it’s pretty on point with the height and the fact she cannot tan to save herself. (Think “sun?” *sunburn*)

Does she help with the tools? Only if she’s passed the tool she needs. She doesn’t know what they’re called, she doesn’t pretend to know what they’re called, and if one of the crew ever asks her to grab something from the workshop - chances are they’re both going to be disappointed 🔧 😂

Believe it or not though, she is a qualified butcher by trade - so if you ever need a stag broken down you can ask her to help - she can definitely identity meat cuts faster than she can tools.

Personality? Heaps of it. Mostly good, a bit bad. A bit bad? In the sense she’s feisty (short woman syndrome), black and white, fiercely loyal and sarcastic as hell. There’s not a lot of grey areas with the old girl - you’ll know where you stand with her whether you asked or not 😅

TL and the boss man Phil have three kids, so she’s always busy - but family is a huge part of her life. Lucky for Phil, they’ve all inherited TL’s dazzling personality - so you don’t need to feel sorry for him. She’s an Aussie expat who has taken to the Kiwi life, so trust us when we say the girl can drink! Water? B**r? Vodka? It’s all good for her. Downside is, she’s still convinced the West Island created the Pavlova 🤦🏼‍♀️

4X4 Expert? Nope
Can cut up a cow? Yep
Still proudly Australian? Bloody oath.
Could Bay 4X4 Centre and the household survive without her? Probably… but she’d love to bloody see them try 😂
