About Mates 4x4

Built around the way you actually use your UTE.

Mates 4x4 is a Melbourne workshop for owners who want practical gear, straight answers, and a setup that works long after it leaves the shed.

Our approach

No hard sell. Just the right gear for the job.

We started Mates 4x4 with a simple idea: the best builds are not the ones with the longest parts list. They are the ones that suit the vehicle, the trip, and the person driving it.

That means listening first, talking through fitment, and recommending equipment we would be happy to run ourselves. From weekday work rigs to long-weekend tourers, every setup gets the same practical attention.

Workshop expertise

From first question to final fitment.

Fitment advice

Bring us your make, model, year, and plans. We’ll help you work out what fits and what is worth doing first.

Accessory installs

Lighting, protection, storage, touring gear and more, installed with care in our Melbourne workshop.

Build planning

Planning a bigger setup? We can help you stage the work so your rig stays useful at every step.

The people behind the counter

Local 4x4 people, practical advice.

We are a Melbourne crew that understands the difference between gear that looks good in a car park and gear that holds up on the tracks. You will get clear advice, honest options, and a proper conversation about your build.

Practical advice, clear fitment, and a build you can rely on.

Let’s talk about your build.

Whether you are starting with one upgrade or mapping out a full touring setup, we are ready to help.
