The new Mahindra Thar is one of the most affordable and the most talked SUV in the country right now. Well, there are two reasons - one it is now practical than before (still not a highway cruiser) and the other is its waiting period. But, there's a third one too and that is how well the new Thar can be modified according to the taste of every buyer. In this video, we showcase to you the official off-road accessories offered by Mahindra for the new Thar.
This video showcases the useful off-road accessories one needs to cover all the trails and experience the wilderness with confidence. Mr Hari Singh who is the champion of Indian Rally 5 times explains the accessories and how they can be accessible for the situations when you get stuck.
GoPro Hero Max
Well, who doesn't like to record those unpaved roads and secluded paths when they are out off-roading. However, if you're alone then it is not possible and that is why the first accessory is the GoPro Hero Max which lets you record 360-degree footage with stitching. It also gets hypersmooth video stabilization along with GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and Live Streaming. So, not only you can record yourself while doing the off-road trails but also record what's on the outside and that too without getting disturbed.

Bushranger Revo Winch
Hari describes the Winch as the mother of all accessories you need when you are in the wild. It can get you out from almost any situation you get stuck in. It has a capacity of 4.5 tonnes which literally means you can pull a bunch of elephants. Woah, that's nice.
But how to operate the winch?
Step 1 - Wear the gloves
It is for your own safety when you are touching the winch or
Step 2 - Rotate the knob
Well, in the anti-clockwise direction, just rotate the knob and pull the cable. That's how easy it is. C'mon, you gotta use little force from your side too, no?
Step 3 - Strap the thing you want out of your way or wanna pull
This is easy! If you want to pull out the vehicle stuck in front of you or remove an obstacle that's causing a problem in your way, just strap it and you're good to go. Make sure it's tight.
Step 4 and Step 5 - Attach the D-shackle and Hook The Winch
Here, you just need to attach the d-shackle along with hooking up the winch.
Step 6 - Lay recovery damper
This is something that is quite useful because it stops the objects from flying through the air and injuring people involved in the recovery operation.
Step 7 - Connect the cable and start the car
One needs to start the car because if they don't then the winch might even drain the battery of your car.
Step 8 - Sit inside and let the winch do its job
No, literally just sit inside and just reverse the car a little and operate the winch via a remote. Voila, you have your path clear now.
Bushranger Xtrax II
Ah! A fancy name. Does it pull out a fancier job too? Yes. Well, if you are in the slush and even in the 4L the car is not stretching out from its own then these bushrangers Xtrax II comes in handy. Put one at the front of the rear tyre and the other at the back. This involves friction which is needed and when it is created there you have your path clear and easily move out of it.
Bushranger Exhaust Jack
This is an inflatable jack where it is placed under the car and then connect to the exhaust. Now all you got to do is start the car and accelerate the pedal slowly in neutral. It is because of the gases the balloon will inflate and you the Thar will easily be accessible.

Tyre Puncture Repair Kit
One of the most useful accessories in the off-roading department or even in our day to day life too, a puncture kit acts as a piece of useful equipment. It comes with a trimming knife, black repair strips and tube repair glue.
Other usable accessories include a handy pull out tray where you can cook your food, boil the water and basically yeah, the idea of Overlanding? That can be done. Yep, they are providing the Air compressor where you can inflate the tyres along with your bed (inflatable bed). You also get your personal tent that has a capacity of 3 people. So, everything is covered, I guess? Yep. All about it.
The new Mahindra Thar can be had in two engine options - a 2.2-litre, mHawk, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine making 130 PS of power with a peak torque of 300 Nm. For those looking to churn out more kilometres on the highway and the average is their concern, this particular option will be useful for them.
The other petrol one is the most powerful 2.0L Stallion engine making 150 PS with 320 Nm of peak torque. Both the engine option gets a 6-speed manual transmission as standard along with an optional 6-speed automatic gearbox. Currently, the Thar has a waiting period of over 10 months which is quite a lot.
