HELINOX ULTRALIGHT TABLE
Camp tables have always been a bit of a catch-22. I mean, you’re going to need a table while relaxing at your favourite campsite, but stashing one in the four-wheel drive can prove to be challenging. This is where the…

BAINTECH 12V DISTRIBUTION PANEL
Twelve-volt wiring can be difficult to get right, and it is even harder to achieve a neat factory-quality install when you want to power multiple accessories. This is why the Baintech 12V Distribution Panel is such a smart idea, as…
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…
Gear Guru: Repco Tools
Confucius says: rich man buys his tools once; poor man buys his tools many times. The good thing about tools these days is that you don’t have to blow a bunch of money to get something high quality, that’ll give…
WATERSHED WATERPROOF BAGS
We fit snorkels, differential breathers, and wading bras to our vehicles, all in an attempt to overcome the damaging effects of water. However, when it comes to our gear, little effort is given to protect it from getting wet. Why?…
EXOFFICIO BUGS AWAY CLOTHING
While I’m not trying to offend any of our readers who happen to be entomologists, I would like to state something clearly: insects suck – and the ones that bite you suck even more. I’ll try almost anything that’ll keep…

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 LOTUS CARAVANS TROOPER THE MOST LUX WE’VE EVER TESTED
There’s no doubt how popular caravaning is in Australia. Tourers are seen trawling up, down through and across all of Australia’s major and minor bitumen arteries all throughout the year. They’re up in Karumba tucking into the terrific seafood, lazing…
SCOOP! THE ALL NEW BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN KO2
When a tyre company launches a new product, it’s pretty standard for them to host an official launch. Usually, this is nothing more than a highly-controlled carnival ride, where the tyre shows some of its strengths, and you never really…
IS THIS THE BEST ‘BANG FOR YOUR BUCK’ DUAL-CAB IN AUSTRALIA
We don’t think that there is a more competitive or important market in the Australian automotive scene than the utility market. It has a distinct Australian heritage and flavour, and is a driving force behind the 4X4 and outdoor lifestyle…
TIGER CUB
Making the transition from tent to camper trailer was a no-brainer. Twenty years camping with tents, tarps, stretchers, sleeping bags, gas cookers and of course the old Esky full of ice meant our set-up time often felt like half our…
Unsealed 4X4 Interviews John Williamson
There’s a few nice “gee whiz” moments in this memoir. Did you know that John Williamson doesn’t sing some of his old songs because they mention smoking dope? That he was no great mate of the late Slim Dusty? That…
