THE February 2018 issue of 4X4 Australia will be on sale from February 1.

Not only does this issue feature complete coverage of the 2018 4x4 of the Year award, but we’ve slotted in one of the meanest custom-built LC79s to be found on Aussie tracks – aptly named ‘Thug Truck’.

We also sneaked a peek at Synergy Manufacturing’s Jeepster Commando, a rig that stole the spotlight at the 2017 SEMA Show. Plus, we packed our boardies and took off to Fraser Island for Isuzu’s I-Venture Trip.

We also visit Safari 4x4 Engineering and sift through its product catalogue; plus we take a look at the latest gear to hit the market, including STS’s Comfort Deluxe SI mat.
