We’ve traded archaic leaf sprung suspension for multi-link, fully adjustable coil spring arrangements. The manual locking hubs have gone, in their place you’ll find a plethora of acronyms, all designed to make off-roading easier and minimise the strain on your…
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…
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…

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 all want a little more power from our four-wheel drives, and one of the most cost effective methods of achieving this is by fitting a free-flowing exhaust. The Torqit team are diesel performance experts, who sell not only diesel…
