SNOOPY THE TROOPY
Last issue we sorted the big modifications on the outside of the vehicle – a suspension system, bull bar, and roof rack. So I guess it makes sense to head inside the vehicle now and take care of the next…
THE UNSEALED 4X4 REVIEW: TOYOTA FJ CRUISER
The FJ Cruiser is a sign that there’s a glimmer of hope for 4X4 enthusiasts within the presumably perfectly organised offices at Toyota’s HQ. The FJ packs almost everything a four-wheel driver could want; twin fuel tanks, washable floors, impressive…
The Brabus 700 6X6: The G-Wagon Grows Up, And Up, And Up

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…
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…
The Unsealed 4X4 Review: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
The Outlander’s PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) variant, has a range of only 50km on pure electric driving, but in combination with a conventional internal combustion engine, could theoretically do a desert crossing using combined volt/fuel power. And that wouldn’t…
The Unsealed 4X4 Reivew: 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK
