My four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle has a thin, steel cable running from the roof rack, down toward the top of the front fenders, and I always get asked what it is for. Basically, it is an accessory used to deflect low-lying branches from hitting the wind screen.  It is also used to prevent branches from brushing the face of the driver when driving through thick bush. This brings me our article for today, which is about lesser-known off-road accessories other than the lift kits, big tires and “fashion statement” snorkels.
