When you climb into your off-road vehicle, you want to feel like you’re comfortable and in control. To that end, auto manufacturers have added a lot to vehicle interiors over the years, like infotainment systems with large screens, and loads of buttons and dials for everything from parking brakes to rear A/C. Here at Off Road Warehouse, we’re always looking for ways to spice up the interior even more, making it versatile and ergonomic and keep the driver in command. Let’s take a look at some mods that we think belong in every 4x4.
Electronic upgrades are very popular on off-road vehicles, as they boost their capabilities while out on the trail. Winches, lighting, and electric lockers are just a few of these kinds of upgrades. And what’s better than having all these upgrades is the ability to control them all in one place. That’s where switch panels come in.

Switch Pros is one the premium brands we carry at Off Road Warehouse. Their switch panels can be made to fit in just about any vehicle interior, from UTVs to full-custom builds. Most customers opt for their SP-9100 model , which offers up to 8 switches and utilizes a solid-state power module for added protection against shorting and malfunctions.
If you’re looking to ramp up your build with more lights and electronic locking differentials , then a Switch Pros switch panel is just what you’re looking for. Our Off Road Warehouse technicians can also take care of installation to get everything hooked up and running the way you want it.
MOLLE panels are essentially metal grates that offer versatile mounting solutions for the vehicle interior.
Originally, MOLLE (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) panels were a U.S. military invention used inside troop vehicles to store weapons and tools. Recently, they’ve become available in the civilian market, and off-roaders were the first to start using them.
We see MOLLE panels most commonly in Jeep and overlanding builds, where customers find all kinds of uses for them. Basically, these are lightweight metal grates that fit into smaller spaces like seat backs and center consoles. Their sturdy construction makes them ideal for mounting tools and other small items, such as storage bags.
Cali Raised is one company that makes MOLLE panels. As an example, they offer the interior rear MOLLE panel for late model Toyota 4Runners. It can be customized in several ways, offering driver panels, passenger panels, and even a central tray that bridges both sides for the ultimate storage solution. It comes prepared with a black powder coat finish and works with any storage bag using a MOLLE mounting system or Quick Fist clamps.
Dashboard mounts let you maintain easy access to your phone and other devices.
Last but not least, customizing your dashboard with GPS and phone mounts is a great way to get the most out of your interior. Anything that lets you keep both hands on the wheel while still having control at your fingertips is a plus, and these mounts will help you do just that.
For phones, Mob Armor offers some great solutions. Their Switch product line accommodates just about every smartphone on the market, and comes in a claw or magnetic mount design to work with your particular vehicle. It’s made from 5052 aluminum for strength and durability, and uses high-density EVA foam to protect from shocks and vibrations while out on the trail.
For GPS devices, Garmin makes a motorcycle/ATV mount that works on smaller vehicles. It clamps onto a handlebar or other metal tube and locks in place for easy access. It also comes with power, audio, and data wires.
They say it’s what’s inside that counts. With these interior upgrades, you’ll have an off-road vehicle you can use and control in more ways than ever before, and right at your fingertips to boot.
