Evolution, not revolution. This custom Ranger and camper combo is purpose-built for adventure. Building a 4X4 is best done with hindsight in mind. It’s only through experiences and failures that we’re able to decide not only what works and…
Serious adventure… in a grown-up kind of way. Winter is right around the corner. Fireplaces are firing up and 4X4s are getting parked up until the weather improves. It’s a scene we all see year in and year out, and…
Water crossings are among the most rewarding and fun obstacles to drive when out in the bush. No two are the same, and fording a body of water always comes with its own set of unique challenges. Quite often you…

Jane & Malcolm’s Prado Jane and Malcolm take touring seriously! 27,500km worth of serious, to be precise. All this in their trusty Toyota Prado, which they say has never let them down (excluding a few inevitable punctures). They’ve travelled…
