Before 2024 rolls to a close and we turn our eyes to an even bigger 2025, we’ve assembled a wealth of 4×4 content in our December 2024 issue of 4X4 Australia.

Out now, the new magazine is headlined by a high-rolling chopped GU Patrol, loaded with a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine, 35-inch Mickey Thompsons, Marks 4WD portals, and a long list of off-road accessories. Built to go anywhere and overcome any challenge, this Patrol is as close to perfect as you can get!

Speaking of big builds, there’s none bigger than this 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD pieced together by Aussie Destinations Unknown (ADU). With a BDS suspension kit supplied by Big Dog Builds lifting the big rig a total of six inches in the front end and 6.6 inches at the back, this Chev is built to go the distance. It has an all-inclusive canopy, as well as a boat loader for getting the boat up on to the Big Dog Builds rack.

Closer to home, our Ford Everest Ambiente received a Tough Dog GVM suspension upgrade, increasing its ground clearance, improving ride and handling, and offering more load-carrying capabilities. As the build nears completion, we took it for a touring trip and we couldn’t be happier with how the project has turned out. You can read all about it in this issue.

We also got a bite-sized taste of the BYD Shark, ahead of customer deliveries which are expected to start rolling out in December. The Shark uses a PHEV drivetrain that combines a 260Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a pair of electric motors, one each for the front (310Nm) and rear (340Nm) axles. After the preview, Matt said the drive showed a lot of promise in terms of its high level of equipment, its performance and its size.

On the travel front, Ron Moon battles what is arguably Australia’s toughest 4×4 track, the Canning Stock Route; we venture to Millstream Chichester National Park in the vast Pilbara region of Western Australia; and we shortlist five of the best 4×4 tracks in Victoria.
