fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The UBA PUSH LOCK COVER solves this issue with ease. It is extremely irritating when a canopy lock can’t close due to gear being in the way. Overlanding and camping is supposed to be relaxing but a simple lock that can’t close, well that creates the need for anti-stress pills.

The UBA PUSH LOCK COVER also prevents damage to camping equipment caused by chafing and hooking.  Any drawer system or hatch utilizing push locks can be retrofitted with the UBA PUSH LOCK COVERS. 

The obvious answer is that a good set of spots will do. After many hours of product testing the result is simple, fit a set of UBA/REDEYE7 LED spot lights. These babies will blow you away. Overlanding in the dark isn’t for sissies. Good lighting is a must, otherwise you may find yourself nose to nose with an animal, I kid you not. And it’s not a pretty ending. Not only are the UBA/REDEYE7 spots insanely bright, but they look damn good too. Guaranteed to hold their own against any brand on the market today at a third of the price. You will not find more light at this price and awesome quality. 

UBA is all about solutions. Years of experience has taught us exactly what is needed to make your camping weekends and long overland trips hassle free and enjoyable. The UBA/BATTCLAMP is just another beauty for you. Cam lever operated, it tightens and loosens in seconds, no tools required. Both positive and negative terminals have four connection points for your accessories, like fridge cable, LED lighting, spot lights, solar input, dual battery requirements, DC charger etc. etc. 

One of UBA’s hashtags is, #UBResponsible. It is your responsibility to have the necessary equipment with you at all times in the event of an emergency. Not the helpful passer- by or your traveling buddy. A rated tow-rope, soft shackles, gloves and bridle are non-negotiables in our opinion. The UBA range of recovery equipment is certified and of top quality. A product failure is just not acceptable.  Our snatch ropes, soft shackles and tow ropes all have polyurethane coated eyes for maximum strength and protection. We take your safety seriously, however it is imperative that you attend a recognized recovery course to ensure that you are aware of all the dangers associated with a recovery and also know how to use each product correctly. 

UBA take tyre deflation/pressures very seriously. It is an extremely interesting topic to say the least. The fact of the matter is that most people get it wrong. So here are some tips that will help you. Rule number one, learn what speed and weight ratings your tyres are approved for. Number two, ask your fitment center what the lowest recommended pressures are allowed as this varies from brand to brand.  Now the big one. Did you know that your front and rear tyre pressures should not be the same? Why? Because the front and rear axle weights differ, meaning the downward force created by your load affects the tyre footprint size. It’s simple physics. You need to achieve a tyre footprint size which is the same front and rear as this translates into traction. Loss of traction means loss of control. Whether off-road or high speed tar driving, traction is king. The UBA/MYTRED was designed with traction in mind. By measuring the tyre footprint at different pressures 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2 and so forth, you will be able to chart a series of measurements. You will now be able to set your front and rear pressures to achieve desired footprint. Example: front pressure 2.2 bar = 250mm footprint. Rear pressure 2.5 bar = 250mm footprint.  Now you have even traction all round preventing wind up of the propshafts and side shafts, improved cornering, better breaking, increased tyre life due to improved tyre wear. #UBResponsible. 

The UBA DECK will not only make this possible, but satisfy other needs too. All 4x4 and 2x4 station wagons used for over landing, camping and daily use have either tie down points or jump seat mounts in the rear.

The UBA DECK utilizes these mounting holes to be secured in place. The UBA DECK also has two cargo rails embedded into the top surface to secure your camping gear or any other items that may be in the rear of your vehicle. The UBA DECK is ideal to bolt a fridge slider to as well. This will allow you to access your fridge/freezer by pulling it rearwards. An added bonus is you can mount the UBA ADJUSTABLE FRIDGE CAGE to the UBA DECK. This will cover your fridge/freezer preventing any loose items from falling in behind it when pulled out, or chafing against it.

If you have a portable dual battery system, this too can be secured to the UBA DECK.

This is truly a multi-functional accessory that every station wagon owner should have.

The UBA ADJUSTABLE FRIDGE CAGE is the perfect solution. Fully adjustable to fit most popular fridge/freezer sizes, it simply bolts to any flat surface, whether in the rear of your 4x4 pick-up, overlanding station wagon or off-road trailer. Now your F/F is protected and there is sufficient space for air circulation around the unit. There is a slotted top edge on the CAGE offering more storage and securing options for small, light items. 

The UBA ADJUSTABLE FRIDGE CAGE works perfectly with the UBA DECK. A match made in heaven.

The UBA CANOPY SPOILER was designed with this in mind. When installed to the rear top edge of a canopy, it forces moving air downwards behind the vehicle and thus equalizes the natural low pressure created at the rear of your 4x4. It is this low pressure that causes dust to get sucked into the canopy and load body and also settle on the rear door. The UBA CANOPY SPOILER will greatly reduce dust levels, making for a more pleasant camping experience. Dust penetrates everything and if you like to crunch crunch on it because it’s in the biscuits and snacks, well enjoy.

When overlanding and camping, a table is a necessity. But level, even ground is never to be found. But don’t lose hope as the UBA LEVEL GUY will come to the rescue.  Shorten one leg of your camping table and attach the LEVEL GUY. This has an adjustable foot which will overcome any uneven campsite giving you a sturdy, safe working surface.

If you own a pick-up, then you are in luck as most 4x4 pick-ups have a hollow tailgate just waiting to be filled with gear.

Whether you are a city slicker or love the outdoors and travel, the UBA TAILGATE INSERT is the perfect accessory for you. Designed to fit into a tailgate (for most popular pick-ups) there is now a lockable storage compartment to stow almost anything. From recovery gear, kitchen items or the stash of your choice.  The UBA TAILGATE INSERT is light and out of the way. When you are on your next adventure out in the wild, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it. 

If you like hunting and fishing, the UBA TAILGATE INSERT is just for you. It will comfortably hold most rifles and definitely hand guns. Your fishing tackle and small collapsible rods now have a home away from home.  

Camping and overlanding in Africa is unlike any other place on earth. Here you become dinner very quickly if you are not prepared and well equipped. It is imperative that you are geared up for every eventuality. Roof top tents are the way to go when roughing it in the bush. But less is more in my world. The idea of taking two hours to set up camp is out like biscuits in an orphanage. From the time you stop at the campsite to when seated in your comfortable camping chair, shouldn’t top more than 10 minutes. Seriously. Camping should be relaxing, enjoyable and pleasant. The UBA range of roof top tents (BUSH CRUISER and DESERT CRUISER) will offer you just that. Quick and easy to use, they take the fuss out of camping. Light and strong, these tents will not increase body roll and wind resistance by too much. A factor often overlooked.  They are great looking and have a whole new design which is new to the market.

Load bars can be installed onto these roof tents to carry anything from solar panels, to bicycles, surfboards and the likes. 

Yes, there finally is. The UBA/GS (gas strut) will do just that. Simply pop rivet this little gas strut to the lid and body of your F/F and voila, you can now use both hands to access that cold one or whatever it is that you need from inside your fridge. The gas strut will keep the lid open for as long as you need. Inexpensive, innovative and simple, just some of UBA’s key values to keep you satisfied and a happy camper.
