Off-road enthusiasts are always looking for the right equipment for their rides. Wheels, tires and lift kits are usually the first off-roaders add to their vehicles, and then many start looking for ways to amp up the fun factor. One way to do so is to swap out the factory stereo system for something a little more ambitious. That’s where Stinger Off-Road comes in.

This company has stereo systems, amplifiers, speakers, subs and more, that are designed to produce terrific sound quality and withstand the abuse that traveling off the beaten path can dish out, as well as give the driver more control and information. Additionally, Stinger Off-Road sells lighting options that add another custom flavor to your vehicle.

More than Just a Stereo

Most modern vehicles come with a digital stereo system that has a few extended options, like Bluetooth connectivity. Stinger Off-Road has something that goes far beyond that. It produces touch-screen stereo systems that connect you to your vehicle and to the trail. These systems are designed to fit your specific vehicle and have a factory-installed look. They also maintain all of your factory stereo connections, so your steering wheel controls work, your factory satellite radio antenna works, and more.

For example, the 10-inch media center for your Jeep has Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It is SiriusXM-ready, using a satellite tuner sold separately. The screen is high definition with an HDMI input. You can also get a total view around your Jeep with four camera inputs. Stinger Off-Road has camera options available, too. The cameras are great for off-road excursions, letting you see angles that are otherwise hard to see. It’s great for rock crawling, or for really tight trails where tire placement is crucial.

The 10-inch screen also gives you information about your Jeep or truck that you might not get otherwise. You can see your pitch and roll angles, which help keep you from getting in over your head. This is great for off-roading after dark, or in some really brutal terrain. You also get GPS information, like your exact coordinates. If you have to call for help, that information can be a true lifesaver. An internal compass gives you that information as well. In addition, you can download mapping software for turn-by-turn GPS functions, too.

Speakers

One of the weakest links in a stock stereo system is the speaker quality, especially if you’re into going where the road leaves off. Stinger Off-Road has speaker systems, amplifiers, subwoofers and all the hardware to install them, and every product is designed for rugged use, so it can handle the tortures of rough trails. Stinger has sound-deadening materials that can help isolate your music to inside the vehicle. This not only helps you not be that obnoxious person blasting his or her music for the world to hear, but it also has the effect of cutting down on some of the vibrations loud music has that can negatively affect your vehicle. You put your Jeep or truck through enough on the trail, why not cut down on the added vibration from your stereo, too? As an added bonus, the stereo systems and speakers are all designed to provide exceptional sound quality at any volume, letting you hear the little nuances the musician intended for you to enjoy.

Light ’Em Up

Lighting systems go hand-in-hand with stereo systems for many of us. For one, they are part of the freedom of expression we all enjoy with a custom vehicle. Additional lighting also works well with select stereos in that you can integrate the switching for the lighting into your touch-screen system. Stinger Off-Road has premium lighting options including cool rock lighting kits from EnLight and Stinger, and it offers the full lineup from KC HiLites, including the stellar Pro6 Gravity systems. Rock lighting is great in that it adds a cool look to you ride, as well as providing additional light to the underside of your vehicle for night trail riding and rock crawling. This works hand-in-hand with the camera systems.

Why Stinger?

One thing that everyone who enjoys the off-road experience can appreciate is the ability to do things yourself. Stinger Off-Road firmly believes in your ability to install products in your own garage or driveway, and it has kits available for its products that help you do the install yourself. To make that better, the Stinger website has a wide range of install videos to help you along the way.
