2016 ACCESSORIES GUIDE
2016 is right in front of us and there’s never been a better time to get out there and explore this great country, so we thought we’d put together a guide on what the major players in the aftermarket industry…
Bullbar
PAT CALLINAN’S VW AMAROK
Well, you have asked for it and we thought it was about time we delivered. We receive countless emails and messages on social media, asking for a more detailed look at the Volkswagen Amarok our publisher has been driving for…
RHINO 4X4 BULLBAR
The Rhino 4X4 front bumper is a newish product in this market, built to suit the front ends of modern four-wheel drives. It looks more like a steel bumper bar than an aftermarket bullbar. They are winch compatible, able to be colour coded to match your vehicle, and are constructed with a clever modular design. This means in the event of damaging, say, a side wing or the centre section, you can order just that part rather than replacing the whole box-and-dice. They are slightly more expensive than your average bullbars, and unfortunately the range is somewhat limited at this stage.
STAFF CORNER
EV GROWS UP… WELL, HIS TRUCK DOES ANYWAY If you saw the Staff Corner last issue, you would have seen the Zook I just picked up, and began modifying with a Uneek 4X4 bullbar. Well, after pottering around in it…

UNSEALED 4X4 READERS’ RIGS
BARRY’S TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 79 SERIES Here we have Barry’s 2010 Toyota LandCruiser VDJ79 Series, which he has set-up for camping and fishing trips around his native area of Shark Bay in Western Australia. He also loves to head north to…
GQ RIPS OFF GU BULL BAR
Don’t try this at home! Turns out this dynamic duo found themselves in a sticky situation, and by the looks of it without proper recovery points. They decided the best option was to tie the snatch strap around the bull…
HJ47 TROOPY TOUGH TOURER
Every now and then, you see a custom truck that is so good it makes you want to sell your worldly possessions and hope the owner will accept your low-ball offer, even if they aren’t technically selling it. Everything about…
POWERFUL 4X4 FREE FITTING OFFER
The team at Powerful 4X4 have a special offer they wanted to extend to Unsealed 4X4 readers. If you purchase any bull bar or rear bar (including their range of swing away wheel carriers) from Powerful 4X4 in the month…
THE WORST 4X4 MODS
In my book, functionality, purpose, and reliability are the deciding factors of four-wheel drive modifications. On a street car, you might be able to get away with that faux “race car” tow hook, but on an off-road vehicle, that subpar…
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…
RASLARR ENGINEERING PRE-RUNNER BAR
Want to give your late model dual cab a spruce up in the looks department, but aren’t too keen on traditional style bullbars? Have a go at the pre-runner style bars from Raslarr Engineering. They’re designed to run LED beam…
TROOPY PROJECT UPDATE
You could hop in a stock Landcruiser Troop Carrier and pretty much take it everywhere you wanted to go in Australia, that’s what makes the model so great. But that’s not really much fun, is it? I mean, do you…
WE HIT THE HIGH COUNTRY (IN A NEARLY STOCK PAJERO)
You might not think of the Mitsubishi Pajero as an almighty off-road conquering machine, but you’re in for a shock! I recently had the opportunity get behind the wheel of the Unsealed 4X4 long term test Pajero GLX on a…
