The likes of a V8 Diesel strikes a cord with many people, if this is music to your ears you have to checkout the review of the new Toyota LandCrusier. Mark Allen gives us a look at the new no-frills 70 Series power-house. Glenno also gives us the goss from the Hummer launch in the US and shows us what the baby H3 is all about.    

It’s not everyday you see a tough Pommie 4WD, but Brendan shows us a top Defender that makes short work of touring the Aussie bush. We get to see a champagne-class 80 Series built on a beer budget, a chopped down Maverick wagon plus a hardcore Suzuki Vitara that you might have seen in the Tuff Truck Challenge.

We show you how to save some bucks and service your ignition plus watch on as Roothy gives project Hot Lips her second wind. We go into depth about the modern diesel engine plus we get Galah’s Datto on the dyno for a tune.

Ramsey talks buying used and the best way to get your hands on a second hand Disco. We have a look at the multi uses of a Hi-Lift Jack and how to use it to hand winch your way out of trouble. There’s ‘snow time like the present’ to give you some snow driving tips and techniques plus we go through some beach recovery techniques.

We have some great travel stories to get you dreaming of your next adventure as we follow Dick Eussen as he tackles the Top End during the wet season. We continue the ‘Long Trip in a Shorty’ series from the beaches of the south-west to the Nullarbor.  

For all those that crave their hardcore 4WDing fix, we have all the coverage from the biggest competition event in the 4WD calendar, the Tough Dog Tuff Truck Challenge. See how our bush mechanic Roothy drove the ‘Project SCAT’ over the grueling three day event.
