Affordable, reliable and easy to use. These are words I like to see when thinking about four-wheel drive accessories. And these 4×4 Tyre Deflators from Mean Mother tick all of those boxes. What’s the story? I’ve used screw-on-style tyre deflators…
There’s one thing I don’t like about this newer generation Isuzu D-Max. And that is the way it rides in factory trim. Especially the performance of the rear leaf springs. Unladen they have a jarring ride quality, noticeable on speed…
If you are anything like me, you love getting your hands on a new gadget. This is especially true if said gadget is designed to take the pressure (pun definitely intended) out of a task you normally just don’t look…
If you’ve been following ARB’s social media pages over the last few days, you would have seen them teasing a new product. Well, the cat is out of the bag, with ARB announcing on Sunday evening they have entered the…
It is fast becoming the latest ‘Patrol or Cruiser’ argument around campfires everywhere. Which is better, a vehicle-mounted awning or a standalone gazebo? It’s not a straightforward answer though. As with every comparison that compares two similar products that essentially…
The release of the Next Generation PY Ford Ranger and Everest certainly saw the Australian off-road community sit up and take notice. With any new vehicle platform release, let alone ones as important as the new Ranger and Everest, there…

Wiring a neat and practical 12V electrical solution into your four-wheel drive or caravan can make or break your entire setup. Not only can poor-quality wiring jobs be potentially dangerous, nobody wants to see a rat’s nest of wiring when…
Upgraded rear bars on touring four-wheel drives just make sense. They offer better protection than factory offerings. They offer a rated tow hitch. And make carrying spare tyres and Jerry cans so much more practical. Ironman 4×4 has just announced…
If you need a rear diff lock in the 300 Series LandCruiser range, you will have to pony up for one of the top-of-the-line models – the GR Sport (which has front and rear diff locks). Why the base model…
If steroids didn’t make your back all pimply and lead to forty-seven heart attacks before you’re thirty, I reckon everyone would do them. And why not? With relative ease, you could have biceps as big as a Lada Niva and…
The LED driving light industry is one that never sits still. There are constant upgrades and improvements being made to ensure we get the best quality lighting options for our four-wheel drives. I for one love seeing innovation in this…
We’ve said it before and we will say it again. Fitting a quality catch can (or crankcase filter kit) is a smart idea. Especially for anyone that operates a modern common-rail diesel-powered vehicle. For the small outlay in cost, you…
