Last week, we ran through the installation of TerrainTamer’s suspension lift kit for our 4×4 D-Max. Including why we decided to fit parabolic leaf springs to the back of the D-Max. Well, now the suspension is sorted, we can start…
Affordable, reliable and easy to use. These are words I like to see when thinking about four-wheel drive accessories. And these 4×4 Tyre Deflators from Mean Mother tick all of those boxes. What’s the story? I’ve used screw-on-style tyre deflators…

Wiring a neat and practical 12V electrical solution into your four-wheel drive or caravan can make or break your entire setup. Not only can poor-quality wiring jobs be potentially dangerous, nobody wants to see a rat’s nest of wiring when…
Upgraded rear bars on touring four-wheel drives just make sense. They offer better protection than factory offerings. They offer a rated tow hitch. And make carrying spare tyres and Jerry cans so much more practical. Ironman 4×4 has just announced…
If you are looking for a simple DIY task that anyone with thumbs and a basic toolset can handle, servicing your catch can is as easy as it gets. It’s important, too. We’ve covered what catch cans are and how…
