A wise man once told me to keep an eye on the little stocky bloke at the end of the bar … ‘he was going to be the one that caused all the damage when things turned pear-shaped’. This analogy…
5,000 kilometres of rough, loaded 4X4 touring put these shock absorbers through the ringer.

In the next issue of Unsealed 4X4 Magazine, we compare the range of tyre deflators on the market, and let you know which passed, which failed and which one fell to pieces! https://mr4x4.wistia.com/medias/496gcxs13w?embedType=iframe&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=600

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 Navara has seemingly always been content with being number two in the four-wheel drive dual cab ute scene, but the brand new 2016 Navara NP300 is a clear statement that they’re gunning for the top spot. Exterior: I’ll be…

It’s nearly here; the biggest and most comprehensive snatch strap comparison ever conducted! We broke over 30 snatch straps in a National Accredited Testing Association (NATA) facility to determine the best and worst snatch straps on the market. We went…
Engines get the glory, but suspension makes or breaks a car. What’s the first specs you look at on a vehicle? Probably the power and torque. I’ll leave it to another article to explain just how wrong that is, but…
