FNB BOSS NISSAN PATROL CHASSIS BRACE
The Nissan Patrol is a tough old thing, but there is one problem that is shared with both the GQ and GU Nissan Patrol. The coil towers in the rear of the vehicle have a habit of cracking, and…
MCHITCH PLATINUM SERIES TRAILER COUPLING
Hitching up a trailer can be a downright pain in the backside sometimes. This is why we were excited to see the Platinum Series from McHitch, claiming to be self-aligning thus taking one battle away from the war. As…
POWERFUL 4X4 AWNING TENT
It is a rare sight these days to see a touring-spec four-wheel drive without an awning fitted to the side of it. Which is why it makes plenty of sense to make full use of this space with an awning…
INNOVATE, OR DIE
I’d venture to guess that the majority of ‘new’ four-wheel drive parts coming out onto the marketplace are a knock-off of some sort. Or at least, they’re not exactly what I would call innovative. It seems four-wheel drive manufacturers, for…
PIRANHA OFF-ROAD ALTERNATOR OUTPUT COMPENSATOR
It is often the little things that make the biggest difference, and this would have to be the smallest item we have ever discussed in Gear News. The Off-Road Alternator Output Compensator (or AOC for short) is a clever little…
ARB SUMMIT REAR STEP TOW BAR
Rear end protection of your truck is often forgotten about until it is too late, but not anymore! The latest release from ARB is the Summit Rear Step Tow Bar to suit the current Ford Ranger PX. Modelled closely off…
TOUGH DOG D22 STEERING DAMPER BRACKET
The Nissan Navara D22 doesn’t come fitted with a steering damper from the factory. The steering arm design in a D22 can promote steering wheel wobble and kickback on and off-road, so a simple way to improve steering response and…
ARB WATER CROSSING COVER
Water crossings can turn wrong quickly, so a little preparation goes a long way. Water bras or covers aren’t anything new, but they sure beat wrestling a tarp over your vehicle and attaching it with dangerous (and dodgy) ocky straps.…
We Test The New Ironman 4X4 Foam Cell Pro Shock Absorber
Engines get the glory, but suspension makes or breaks a car. What’s the first specs you look at on a vehicle? Probably the power and torque. I’ll leave it to another article to explain just how wrong that is, but…
HOW TO S#%T IN THE WOODS
Sure this might not be the most glamorous topic, but hey, we all do it. And when it comes to camping, basic bathroom facilities can make or break relationships. My wife even flat out refuses to come camping with me…
LEATHERMAN TREAD QM1 MULTITOOL WATCH
The Leatherman Tread QM1 combines the unique Tread multitool bracelet with a Swiss-made timepiece utilizing a precision quartz movement (QM). This combination provides an everyday wearable stylish watch with the advantages of a 20 tool multitool built in. It only weighs…
KEY SMART
Do you have a big unwieldy and unorganized key chain? The Key Smart pocket key organizer is the solution to your problem. This simple little device allows you to organize your keys in a sleek stylish package, that is way…
DARCHE COLD MOUNTAIN SLEEPING BAGS
If you hate the idea of being crammed into a tight fitting sleeping bag, the Darche Cold Mountain range has been designed for those who want some extra room while bunking down for the night at camp.
UNEEK 4X4 SUZUKI SIERRA WINCH BUMPER
Sure, the venerable Suzuki Sierra is getting a little long in the tooth but they are still so popular with plenty of people for very good reason. They are fun, cheap and capable off-road. So what better way to…
FOZZILS SOLO PACK
Packing bowls, cups and plates can be a pain when going camping, and from my own point of view, something I tend to leave till last. If I had the Fozzils Solo Pack though, these flat-pack creations would never leave…
