When you’re setting out on a 4WD adventure, space in your vehicle is a precious resource. Fitting all your gear while keeping things organised and accessible is a challenge every off-grid adventurer knows well. At KickAss Products, we specialise in space-saving solutions that allow you to pack everything you need without sacrificing comfort or convenience. In this guide, we’ll walk through some compact KickAss essentials that can help you make the most of every inch of your 4WD, so you’re always ready for the next adventure.

1. KickAss Ultra X 230Ah Slimline Lithium Battery

One of the biggest challenges when setting up your 4WD for off-grid power is finding a battery that offers substantial capacity without compromising on space. The KickAss Ultra X 230Ah Slimline Lithium Battery is engineered to provide high-capacity power in a compact, slimline design that fits seamlessly into tight spaces. It delivers a shocking 230Ah of useable power in a tiny unit, and is made for those who are serious about their off-grid adventures. Whether you’re powering a fridge, lights, or other essential gear, this battery is designed to deliver long-lasting power without taking up valuable room in your 4WD.

Unlike bulky deep-cycle batteries, the Ultra X Slimline can be easily installed behind seats or in narrow storage compartments, giving you the freedom to arrange your gear without the bulk. Plus, with lithium’s advantages – such as faster charging, longer lifespan, and lighter weight compared to traditional batteries – you’ll have all the energy you need without weighing down your rig. The Ultra X also features advanced Battery Management System (BMS) technology, ensuring protection from overcharging, temperature extremes, and short circuits, so you can rely on it for any adventure.

2. KickCharge DC500 Portable Power Station

If the Ultra X 230Ah Slimline Lithium Battery is more grunt than you need, then consider the KickAss KickCharge DC500 Portable Power Station. With a capacity that’s suited for smaller setups, the DC500 is compact yet powerful enough to charge multiple devices or run smaller appliances. It’s designed to work seamlessly with KickAss solar panels, meaning you can recharge it on the go, ensuring you’re never out of power.

The DC500’s size makes it ideal for those who want the flexibility of a portable power source without the bulk of larger units. Whether you’re using it to keep your lights on, charge your phones, or even run a fan, this portable power station gives you the independence of off-grid power in a compact, user-friendly package.

3. KickAss 12V Mini Power Box

If you need a powerhouse to manage your 12V setup without taking up too much space, the KickAss 12V Mini Power Box is your ideal solution. This mini control box is compact but incredibly versatile, designed to help you keep your power under control while saving space in your setup. With two Anderson plug inputs, six USB ports, and three cigarette sockets, it provides all the charging options you could
need in one streamlined unit. Perfect for running a fridge, charging devices,
or powering lights, it’s the little box that packs a big punch.

Whether you're setting it up in the back of your 4WD or mounting it in a more permanent spot, the KickAss 12V Mini Power Box is easy to integrate and keep organised. Plus, it’s robust enough to handle the rigours of off-road travel, making it an ideal companion for 4WD adventurers who need maximum utility without the bulk.

4. KickAss Handheld Vacuum

Keeping your 4WD clean on the go has never been easier, thanks to the KickAss
Handheld Vacuum
. This compact powerhouse is designed specifically with camping and caravanning in mind, and it recharges via USB-C, so you can easily keep it powered through your 12V setup. The vacuum comes with a tough, eco-friendly storage bag made from recycled materials, ensuring that it withstands the rough-and-tumble life of off-grid travel.

The KickAss Handheld Vacuum is small enough to stow in your glove box or a storage bin, and it’s perfect for quick clean-ups. Sand, dirt, and crumbs are no match for its powerful suction, helping you keep your space tidy without lugging around a bulky cleaner.

5. KickAss Lithium Rechargeable Jet Blower

This lightweight yet powerful KickAss Lithium Rechargeable Jet Blower is the ultimate solution for clearing away debris from your vehicle and campsite, keeping dust off your solar panels, and drying wet gear (or pets!). Its brushless motor and three power settings give you control, so you can handle everything from small crumbs to larger debris with ease. Like the handheld vacuum, it also recharges via USB-C, meaning it’s perfectly suited for compact, off-grid setups.

Unlike traditional, bulky blowers, this jet blower has a sleek design and can easily be tucked away in a storage compartment, ready for when you need it. It’s the kind of gear that gives you that added level of cleanliness and convenience, without taking up unnecessary space.

6. KickAss Pop-Up Stool

taking a breather while setting up camp.

This stool is built for durability, yet it’s lightweight enough that you won’t even notice it in your pack. If you’re tired of bulky camp chairs eating up all your storage space, the KickAss Pop-Up Stool is an excellent alternative that provides comfort without the bulk.

7. KickAss Induction Cooktop

When it comes to cooking on the go, the KickAss Induction Cooktop is a compact yet efficient solution that maximises your 12V setup without demanding a massive space allocation. Induction cooking is not only fast but also safer and more energy-efficient than traditional cooking methods, making it ideal for off-grid setups. The cooktop’s compact design means it can easily fit into a drawer or be stored with other kitchen essentials in your 4WD.

Because it requires minimal surface space and heats up rapidly, you’ll be able to prepare meals quickly, freeing up time and space for other activities. Combined with a portable battery or a KickAss Power Box, this cooktop lets you enjoy hot meals wherever you are, making it the perfect addition for any 4WD kitchen setup.

8. KickAss LED Strip Lights

Good lighting can make or break your campsite setup, but traditional lights can be cumbersome and space-consuming. KickAss LED Strip Lights offer a compact, easy-to-store lighting solution that doesn’t compromise on brightness. These strip lights are perfect for illuminating your tent, awning, or 4WD setup, and they’re easy to store in a small pouch when not in use.

With their low power draw, you can run them off your 12V setup without draining your battery.
