4WD Action 113 ON SALE NOW As always, we have another awesome issue of 4WD Action for you this month, I know we say that every month but this is a real cracker. Just like an old Tojo I suppose, they just keep getting better with age. We have a look at an awesome four-door custom JK Wrangler. It would have to be one of Australia’s first. We show you a classic all-rounder Toyota 80 Series that reminds us that we can have all the goodies without going over the top. Plus, we stop in to see a late-model 4.2L beast of a GU Patrol and a spruced-up ex-army Unimog that always drives the hard line. Are you in the market for a cheap and reliable 4WD? We have a look at buying a used Suzuki Sierra, which is perfect if you’re after a pint-sized 4WD to get you just about anywhere. We explore if it’s safe to travel alone and explain the best way to get your camper trailer across the Simpson in one piece. Our regular contributor Mark Lowry talks spare parts – important if you are considering heading into the Aussie bush. Do it yourself and save! We give you 101 uses for the trusty compressor – this will give you all the ammo you need to convince the better half you really do need one. We always talk about flex when we talk about serious 4WDing. This month, we have a look at swapping an IFS set-up for a solid axle five-link. Kick back on a comfortable chair and get taken away with our travel stories this month. Roothy takes us for a spin into the Victorian High Country with a new H3 Hummer, and Bob Bowers takes you to the beautiful Byfield National Park on the Capricorn Coast. Brendan finishes up with part two of the Savannah Way, and the Outback Photographer takes us into the Pilbara region. We also get a taste of the tropics following the Long Trip in a Shorty series. We have all the regular features plus we join a bunch of new HiLux owners on a 4WD trip, show you what to do if you hit a roo, fit the winch on Project Rangie and Mark Allen chooses a Toyota 100 Series to start his build up. Plus, we head down to Eastern Creek for a look at the hardcore WERock scene.
FREE DVD
The weather is heating up and we’re almost into summer. Grab a coldie and cool down with our Victorian High Country DVD feature. Join Roothy and the Piranha Off Road team as they tackle some of the toughest High Country tracks around. To make things interesting, Roothy left Milo at home to punish the new H3 Hummer and see if this Yank tank has what it takes to battle in the Aussie bush. See three awesome custom trucks with Mark Allen – a tidy Rodeo with an amazing camper set-up on the back, a tough 80 Series tourer and a decommissioned Mercedes-Benz Unimog that has been given a new lease on life. Join editor Glenn as he lets you in on some workshop hints and tricks that will see you spinning spanners around like a pro in no time. Learn how to use a high-lift jack safely and effectively, and get the lowdown on bullbars. Then, Glenn shows you how to buy the best Toyota 100 Series ’Cruiser for your money and Roothy cooks up a storm. All this on the only DVD that’s better value than a 1978 LandCruiser – and cheaper to run too! |
