Out now: 4X4 Australia October issue, with bonus Lowrange DVD

The October edition of 4X4 Australia hits stores today, September 8.

Overflowing with off-road content, this issue also comes with a bonus LowRange DVD strapped to its back.

We take an in-depth look at a meticulously transformed FJ45, we explain how to spend your dollars wisely when building to a budget, and we take a first drive of Holden’s new Colorado (and drive it back-to-back with a Hilux).

We also reveal some of the Kimberley’s hidden secrets, and take a look at the build process of a mighty custom FJ Cruiser.

In the meantime, here’s what else is in this dazzling October issue:

FIRST DRIVE: 2017 COLORADO
The 2017 Holden Colorado has arrived to shake up the 4x4 establishment. We take it for a first drive.

READY TO RULE THE ROOST
Does the arrival of Mitsubishi’s Pajero Sport spell the end for the ‘old’ Pajero?

HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT
We pit the new Colorado up against the class-leading Hilux. Can it keep up with the market leader?

Plus there’s plenty more!
