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…
BUSHRANGER NIGHTHAWK LED DRIVING LIGHTS
LED driving lights have plenty of real world benefits, such as lower power draw and reduced heat output. Which is why Bushranger has decided to release its range of Nighthawk LED driving lights. Nighthawk LED lights are available in either…
TORQIT PERFORMANCE EXHAUST
We all want a little more power from our four-wheel drives, and one of the most cost effective methods of achieving this is by fitting a free-flowing exhaust. The Torqit team are diesel performance experts, who sell not only diesel…
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…
BRIDGESTONE DUELER M/T NEW SIZES
Bridgestone has announced that its popular M/T 674 mud terrain tyre will now be available in fourteen sizes in total, to suit a range of vehicles. Specifically, there have been two new additions with 265/70R16 and 245/70R17 being made available…
CROSS COUNTRY INTERCOOLER
If you have a turbo-diesel powered vehicle, intercooling it offers a myriad of benefits such as reduced running temperatures and the ability to increase boost levels. But what can you do to vehicles with factory intercoolers that might not be…
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…
ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO ALL-TERRAIN TYRES
The tyres fitted to your four-wheel drive as it first rolled off the production line were designed with three purposes in mind. Firstly, they must provide a soft, quiet and compliant ride during your initial test drive, so you are…
NOT YOUR DAD’S BULL BAR
Bull bars in Australia have not traditionally been the most visually appealing of products. Some scrub up with a coat of paint, a winch hanging off them as well as some nice driving lights. But if you can honestly say…
Solar: Is it for you, and How it Works
Batteries are great, but they need to be charged. If you’re a light camper moving on every day then your car can do the charging, but settle into a base camp with a few people and the demands of fridges,…
THE ULTIMATE XPLOR CAMPER TRAILER
Camper trailers are an incredibly competitive market in Australia; we obviously love the capability of touring our vast, rugged continent without leaving all of home’s creature comforts behind. Not all are made equally, however. Some are plain rubbish, others are…
The Outback Classic: Back To Basics Gourmet Damper
If you were to choose one dish that’s most associated with camp oven cooking, there’s no doubt it would be damper. An easy to make alternative to bread that has been a staple for many outback travellers in the past.…
How To Use A Tyre Deflator
I’m as guilty as the next person; often the one at air down time scrounging around in the bush for small foliage to let down my tyres. Nowadays, I have emerged from the cave, and regularly use a tyre deflator…
SNOOPY HAS A BIRTHDAY
Editor Matthew Scott recently had a birthday, and straight off the bat we’re not going to mention his age out of respect (okay he is 98 years old… and a damn good advocate for skin moisturiser). Anyway, as Matt…
UNSEALED 4X4 SNATCH STRAP COMPARISON
It’s nearly here; the biggest and most comprehensive snatch strap comparison ever conducted! We broke over 30 snatch straps in a National Accredited Testing Association (NATA) facility to determine the best and worst snatch straps on the market. We went…
