Why Choose Advanced 4x4?

Because your 4x4 deserves gear that was built for Africa — not imported and hoped for the best.

Proudly South African. Built Since 2004.

Advanced 4x4 was born in Strand, Western Cape in 2004 — not in a boardroom, but in a workshop. Founder Terrence Reinders wanted a proper bumper for his 4x4 and couldn't find one built to his standard. So he built it himself.

Over 20 years later, we're still building every steel product at our facility in Strand — engineering accessories that are tested on the same roads, trails, and terrain our customers drive every day.

🔧 Manufactured in South Africa. Engineered for Africa.

At our Strand facility, we reject the "import and rebadge" model. We are a true manufacturer, designing, cutting, welding, and finishing every component in-house to ensure tighter tolerances and superior fitment. By controlling the entire process, we deliver premium-tier protection that performs exactly when you need it.

Our portfolio spans over 200 precision-engineered, locally built components, with new products added to the range regularly. Choosing Advanced 4x4 is an investment in superior quality and local craftsmanship, not just a purchase.

The Premium Standard:

High-End Materials — we use only high-grade carbon steel, aluminium, and stainless steel.
Superior Finish — every product is sandblasted and treated with Ferrogran powder coating, for long-lasting toughness, UV resistance, and durability against the elements.
Precision Engineering — every bumper, bash plate, and rock slider is vehicle-specific, engineered for an exact fit rather than universal guesswork.
Performance Design — our "stubby" and "bikini" design philosophy maximises approach and departure angles for technical off-roading.

🛡️ 3-Year Manufacturing Warranty. Clearly Explained.

We back every product we manufacture with a 3-year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. If something fails due to a manufacturing defect, we repair or replace it — including verified return shipping costs. The terms are set out plainly, with no hidden conditions — see our full Warranty Policy for exactly what's covered.

That's the confidence that comes from building something yourself.

🏆 Premium Brands. Carefully Selected.

We don't stock everything — we stock the brands we trust. Every brand we carry has been selected to meet our standard for quality, durability, and performance in African conditions.

Very professional, finish on time, and treated me with so much kindness. Very impress with product, number plate bracket is manufactured with high-quality steal, very happy and will refer Advance 4 x 4 to everyone

I love the table however there are a few design and productions issues that require improvements. Firstly it is advertised as a no drill installation but the backing plate has no holes and there is no template provided so you have to make a template off the rear door in order to mark the holes on the backing plate in order to drill the holes to be able to mount. I had to pay an installer who used an existing table off another Jimny as a template for the holes, without a template of sorts it's a nightmare.

I also recommend plastic or teflon washers be provided for the bottom where it hinges so that the bolts don't scrape away the powder coating when opening and closing, then the adjustable mount which aids levelling either needs to be redesigned entirely or teflon or plastic spacers need to be provided as when you open and close it pivots on the mounting bolt substantially which will eventually weaken and break.

Like i said, the table is really nice, it provides a really large workspace and the fact it's aluminium makes it light and rust resistant.

You just need to pay attention to a few improvements.

Good product.

Hands down, one of the strongest Jeep bumpers on the market.

This isn’t just some thin steel cover—it’s a real, heavy-duty bumper built for proper off-roading. I’ve seen so many of these on Jeeps over the years, and now having one on my own rig, I couldn't be happier with the quality and strength. Highly recommended
