Shorty
Shorty is a true outback tourer. Decked out with some of the most amazing modifications, Shorty is 100% owned and operated by 4WD Action Presenter Graham Cahill.
What Shorty lacks in size, he makes up for in raw torque and off-road stamina. This 4.2L turbo diesel is the perfect ambassador for Nissan 4WDers everywhere.
Hailing originally from Western Australia, Shorty is no stranger to the long corrugated desert straights or the remoteness of the Kimberley. Shorty has been finely tuned for maximum endurance and enhanced comfort, and just goes to show within every stock 4WD lives a 4WD born for the aussie wilderness.
