4WD Action 122

ON SALE NOW

Australian 4WD Action Issue 122 is a scorcher of an edition, with some fantastic snow driving tips to help you out this winter when you’re driving in the white stuff. When the temperature drops, your fourby is affected in more ways than one. Your oil will thicken and become sludgy, water starts freezing and kicking over the engine in the morning becomes more of a hassle than bacon and eggs after the work Christmas party. Catch up with Petri from p. 107 in this month’s issue of 4WD Action to prepare yourself for a snow trip.

Whoever said Yank tanks can’t compete with the Aussie 4WD market haven’t checked out Stuarts F250 from p. 66 of this months 4WD Action. Stuart has had all walks of 4WDs in his shed over the last few years, and finally decided to take the plunge and buy a late-model, second hand F250 which sports an incredible 7.3L intercooled turbo diesel V8 and can tow a whopping 4500kg at brake.

This month Nathan goes head to head with one of the most talked about topics in 4WD circles; whether your diesel engine should be fitted with gas injection, a turbo or a power chip. In a hard hitting and comprehensive feature Nathan gets the answers from Diesel Gas Australia and West End Diesel. If you’ve ever thought about what you can do to increase performance and efficiency in your oil burner, check out the graphs and comparisons in this feature before you make a decision.

Shaun talks suspension this month with a feature on the added benefits of aftermarket suspension over stock, as he fits his Suzuki Sierra with Rancho RS9000XL shocks all round and RockCrawler springs to finish off the job. Our resident tech talker Bryan revisits the mighty Toyota LandCruiser 60 Series for Issue 122’s Buying Used story, and Brendan cleans up Project Guts with some paint maintenance tips and tricks.

Roothy’s off again! This time, to the Snowy Mountains to take in the natural beauty of Mt Kosciuszko National Park in the ‘new’ 45 Series ute. The area is full of amazing history, breathtaking scenery and challenging 4WDing, and Roothy’s been raving on about it since he got back, so make sure you don’t miss it!

If custom trucks are more your thing, then we’ve got a show for you. First up is a sensational blood-red Series 1 Discovery that’s built to tackle the High Country tracks. Then we jet up to Sydney to check in with the owner of an ultra-neat solid-axle 100 Series, who has turned a hand-me-down into a try-and-hold-me-back!

For the fans of hardcore 4WDing, we check in with an awesome old Cherokee complete with a big-block V8 and massive rubber. If you’ve ever considered getting your spare wheel up from under the floorpan, then this month Editor Glenno’s got the DIY for you. Check in with him as he builds a rear wheel carrier for the steel bar he knocked up last month.

Then we check in on the Mickey Thompson Tyre Tips to get the real low-down on what difference a good set of tyres can make to a vehicle. And, of course, there’s Roothy’s cooking and more tips and techniques than you can shake a Panhard rod at.

All this in Australian 4WD Action – the show that’s constantly keeping the neighbours awake until 2am with the welder and grinder.
