Project D-Max Vs modified 79 Series LandCruiser
Project D-Max is done, and we couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. It’s a real treat to see it out of the workshop and out on the tracks. To really see what it’s made of, we decided…

If you’re looking to buy a new mid-size dual-cab ute, then chances are you’ve at least flirted with both a Ford Ranger and a Toyota HiLux. Let’s face it, these two are consistently Australia’s favourite cars for good reasons. They’re…
