When you have luxury at the highest level possible paired with a high seating position and the most refined experience in an SUV Land Rover is the manufacturer to consider. Especially their Range Rover vehicles, which are packaged together with an even more appealing exterior.

The Range Rover Sport is a prime example of this since it has more than enough power with its 3.0-litre 6-cylinder which works quite well with its 8-speed automatic transmission to generate 355 HP. The interior is roomy and modern while the 2-tonne off-road capable Sport has a turning circle of 10 metres.

Must-Have Accessories

Roof Rack

Although not all vehicles are made to be used with roof racks the Range Rover Sport isn't one of them. When exploring the bush with it you'll want to have as much storage space as possible and roof racks help provide that. Keep in mind though that these simple Land Rover Range Rover Sport accessories are only meant to accommodate weatherproof gear and supplies on the roof of your lux SUV.

Snorkel

If you really want to plunge into the deep with your RR Sport you should consider adding a snorkel to it. Although this will make it look more rugged it will also save its V6 from getting flooded with cold contaminated water. This is a big no-no especially since the new RR Sport comes with a mild-hybrid powertrain. 

Diff Breather

A differential breather is the same for the differential as the snorkel is for the engine in this case. Deep water crossings can damage the diff as cold water and hot gears don't mix. This is a kit of hoses that help reroute the air intake for the diff which is usually moved higher up into the engine bay. Meaning you'll get clean and cool air from the snorkel.

Recovery Kit

One safety-related kit that you should have in your Sport every time you're exploring the wild is a recovery kit. This kit comes with equipment such as D-shackles, recovery straps, snatch block, tree trunk protector and recovery boards. Without this kit, you won't get yourself when stuck in mud or your friend from a bog.

Running Boards

When it comes to boards, you should also look to invest in a pair of running boards. These run from the back of the front wheels to the front of the back wheels. These Land Rover Range Rover Sport accessories provide a stepping platform that can help you hop in and out of your RR Sport with ease and prevent you from bringing in as much mud and water inside. Running boards also protect the sides of your Sport from stone chips.

GPS

Although your Range Rover definitely comes with sat-nav built-in it isn't as reliable in the Outback as a dedicated GPS device. These Range Rover Sport aftermarket accessories are also much more accurate and can be used without the need for mobile data. You can navigate more easily through areas that all look the same and make waypoints to make it easier to make your way back to where you came from.

UHF Radio

A UHF radio is a completely different animal than an FM radio. In fact, UHF radio is exclusively used for communicating. Especially if you're out in a remote area UHF radio is going to be your best friend when you need to call out to a mate or someone nearby to help you out with fuel or a tyre change. Having the ability to communicate with others in such conditions is extremely important and UHF radio is what will enable you to do that.

Winch

A winch is one of the most essential Range Rover Sport car accessories as it can save you from spending the night in the bush. When you do get stuck and there's no one to help you get your Sport unstuck a winch is going to help you instead. As long as you have the correct rated winch fitted on the front of your Range Rover you can secure it to a rock or a tree and slowly and safely recover your SUV. Winches can be found as part of recovery kits. 

Bull Bar

A bullbar is a piece of metal that goes on the front of your Sport, above the bumper. It serves to protect you from impacts from animals, with other drivers, trees and rocks. Bullbars are heavy-duty and can also be used to attach other accessories to them. These Range Rover Sport car accessories start with the aforementioned winch and you can also add a UHF antenna, auxiliary lights and even recovery points.

Auxiliary Lights

Talking about auxiliary lights you are better off with them than without them as they make it a lot easier to navigate the bush at night. These Range Rover Sport aftermarket accessories are more powerful than your high beams and are more versatile too. That's because you can have them on your bullbar, bumper, bonnet and even the roof.
