I BOUGHT A TROOPY AND NAMED IT SNOOPY
Buying a new 4X4 is an incredibly personal thing for me. I get attached. Really attached. Scary ex-girlfriend attached. I still to this day bemoan about the loss of my Land Rover 109, affectionately named Ralph, which I sold only…
The Brabus 700 6X6: The G-Wagon Grows Up, And Up, And Up
The Brabus 700 6X6 The G-Wagon Grows Up, And Up, And Up The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is one of those vehicles that can go anywhere, and considering that it has been in production since 1979, it probably has been almost everywhere.…
WILDCAT 4X SIDE BY SIDE
Side by side buggies have taken off in this country, with numerous models available and even professional race events dedicated to them. But what if you have a decent property and want to show your friends around the backyard? Well,…
JAPANESE-AUSTRALIA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
It’s no secret that Japanese vehicles are ridiculously popular in Australia. Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru – it’s the bulk of what you see on the road today. When it comes to four-wheel drives, it also seems as if…
MERCEDES-BENZ G500 4X4 SQUARED
If you thought the G63 AMG 6×6 was just too over the top, Mercedes-Benz has now unveiled the monster’s smaller sibling, the G500 4×4². The new off-road beast starts life as a G500 and gets many of the royal treatments that made…
IS YOUR 4X4 ILLEGAL?
We all want a unique vehicle, which makes sense as we all do different things with them. Modifying four-wheel drives is nothing new, and in-fact the off-road aftermarket industry is booming in Australia. But don’t for a minute think that…
The Land Rovers of James Bond
While Bond is synonymous with Aston Martin, there is also a solid history with the Land Rover, which is about to get an even bigger boost with the forthcoming Spectre film, the 24th bond adventure. The film will include a…
THE LAST DEFENDER
There isn’t much the Defender can’t handle. After all, the bare-bones utility four-wheel drive has survived dozens of combat roles, the Camel Trophy, and slightly less arduous roles played as a workhorse at home on the farm. Simply put, the…
COMP TRUCK VS. TOMCAR VS. DEFENDER
Designed for the rigour of military and defence use in Israel, manufactured and modified for use in Australia; the Tomcar was built as a tool for farmers, miners, or anyone that needs to reliably transport loads across rough terrain. But…
MOTOPED: SURVIVAL BIKE
Be ready for the unexpected, and have a blast in the mean time! The Motoped Survival Bike is a utilitarian, military-inspired, cross between a down hill mountain bike and a moped. This Motoped edition is outfitted with a universal rack and has…
COULD THIS BE THE NEW HILUX?
Could this be the first glimpse of the new Toyota HiLux which we Australians desperately require to phase out the dated current model? Images have surfaced of a sly unveiling of what we believe to be the latest HiLux which…
THE UNSEALED 4X4 REVIEW: 2014 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90
The latest incarnation of the Defender might be the best – ever. It’s powerful, comfortable, fuel efficient, and beautiful – in a Margaret Thatcher kind of way. Close your eyes and imagine a four-wheel drive cruising down an empty, barren…
WHAT IS THE WORST 4X4 EVER MADE?
Even the worst four-wheel drives suffer from the ugly baby syndrome – beautiful to the eye of the owner, but outright ghastly to anyone with vision or common sense. I won’t name any names here, mainly because I’d rather hear…
WILL THE FORD EVEREST BE THE NEW SUV TO BEAT?
Following up on the success of the current Ranger, Ford Australia has excitedly announced that this lucky country will be receiving an off-road oriented four-door wagon. Known as the Everest, the soon to launch mid-sized SUV from Ford will share…
UNSEALED 4X4 REVIEW: 2014 SUZUKI JIMNY
Most modern four-wheel drives are actually quite terrible at being a four-wheel drive. They’re big, luxurious, expensive and you most certainly wouldn’t call them economical. Which is funny, because the four-wheel drive was invented as a utility tool; the vehiclular…
