1984 Suzuki Sierra LWB

This photo was taken on private property when I was helping set up for the Drivetech 4x4 Wild Dog Winch Challenge in Gippsland, Victoria. It has stock suspension, 32-inch tyres, twin lockers, reduction gears, all the usual bar work, winch, UHF and more. - Dean Notman

1993 Land Rover Defender

At the start of the year I did a Tasmanian trip from Brisbane, and along the way went in to the Vic High Country ─ then plenty of 4WDing in Tassie, and back again. I’m regularly 4WDing in the Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland. It’s twin-locked, and mods include a fully upgraded driveline to turn the 37s. Plenty more fun things, too! Not your average Cruiser or Patrol! - Kyle Stewart

2001 Nissan Patrol

7

She’s a Patrol ZD30DI ─ aka the Grenade ─ and so far she’s taken me to Glasshouse and Kenilworth in Queensland. As for mods she’s a pretty basic set-up, with a two-inch suspension lift and a set of BFGoodrich 285/75/16s (-13 offset).

Engine-wise there aren’t any mods yet, but, for an unlocked girl, the places I’ve driven so far she loves it. She’s also sporting a Domin8tr Xtreme 12,000 winch, a pair of nine-inch driving lights, an Oricom UHF and Kings Titan drawers. No flex and she screams like a three-year-old on boost! - Mitchell John Deakin

2017 Isuzu D-MAX

Mods include a two-inch lift (Dobinson shocks and springs) at the front, as the back was already high; 32.5-inch Kenda Klever wheels with steel rims; Shoreline bullbar; Kings light bar; Carbon 12,000lb winch; EGR canopy; dual battery set-up; slimline lithium battery; Itek bluetooth DC-DC charger; shunt with digital readouts; Hard Korr LED lights; and two USB and USB-C charging ports.

Other kit includes a 12-volt cig socket port; two 50amp Anderson outlets; 12-volt water pump and shower; XRS GME UHF radio; ProVent catch can; Meredith Metalworks snorkel; and a Rhino-Rack with the Backbone system. Recovery gear comprises a soft shackle, Kinetic winch-rope retainer ring, XTM tree saver, XTM 9m snatch strap, and XTM tow rope. - Shai Ler

LDV T60

Hands down, the best place we’ve been would have to be through the Bathurst/Hill End area. It has a two-inch Tough Dog suspension lift, TJM snorkel, diff breathers, VRS bullbar, Uniden UHF, Kings winch, dual-battery set-up and solar, Rhino racks, and Falken ATs. - Mitch Vowles

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

Enjoying the views at the top of Billy Goat Bluff track in the Victorian High Country. It drove up easily ─ what it lost in articulation it made up for in traction. Our vehicle of choice is a Grand Cherokee Limited with the Offroad pack, as well as a few other accessories. - Brenton Bowley
