Black Duck has long been known as a quality manufacturer of canvas seat covers. Wanting to try something different, the latest release from Black Duck is its range of denim seat covers, which they claim offer a bit more comfort…
If you have a turbo-diesel powered vehicle, intercooling it offers a myriad of benefits such as reduced running temperatures and the ability to increase boost levels. But what can you do to vehicles with factory intercoolers that might not be…
Editor Matthew Scott recently had a birthday, and straight off the bat we’re not going to mention his age out of respect (okay he is 98 years old… and a damn good advocate for skin moisturiser). Anyway, as Matt…
When a 4×4 just can’t get the job done, maybe you should have a look at a 6×6. Below are a few examples of proper 6×6 vehicles, where all 6 wheels are powered. Easily the most famous 6×6 of modern times…
The FJ Cruiser is a sign that there’s a glimmer of hope for 4X4 enthusiasts within the presumably perfectly organised offices at Toyota’s HQ. The FJ packs almost everything a four-wheel driver could want; twin fuel tanks, washable floors, impressive…
Buying a new 4X4 is an incredibly personal thing for me. I get attached. Really attached. Scary ex-girlfriend attached. I still to this day bemoan about the loss of my Land Rover 109, affectionately named Ralph, which I sold only…
Editor Matt Scott is the first to get a sneak peak at ARB’s newest range of bull bars. An Unsealed 4X4 industry first. Since ARB released their first bull bar about thirty years ago, they’ve been telling us that steel…
A good shovel and axe will get you out of quite a few off-road situations, yet as they are particularly bulky we often leave them at home. Rookie mistake young grasshopper! If you own an FJ Cruiser, this is especially…
It’s no secret that Japanese vehicles are ridiculously popular in Australia. Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru – it’s the bulk of what you see on the road today. When it comes to four-wheel drives, it also seems as if…
Could this be the first glimpse of the new Toyota HiLux which we Australians desperately require to phase out the dated current model? Images have surfaced of a sly unveiling of what we believe to be the latest HiLux which…
Dual-cab utes have become the bread and butter of the 4X4 scene in Australia, and it’s easy to see why. They’ll be a comfortable daily driver, they’ll fit in tight car spaces, you’ll fit five in there (just), and there…
Apparently, dogs look and behave like their owners. Or do people of a certain type all choose the same sort of dog? Nobody knows which way it works, but the same principle applies to 4X4s. So let’s don an invisibility…

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…
We take a look at the four-wheel drive industry’s latest and greatest gear! This month we’ve got a new LED light from Lightforce, a new line of rear bars from Kaymar, a new awning from Bushmaster, and more!
