The November 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia is on shelves now.
This magazine kick-starts our 2022 Custom 4×4 of the Year campaign, with 10 of the best custom creations from the past 12 months vying for your vote to be crowned the custom champ. Vote now for a chance to win prizes available from Maxxis, MaxTrax and Clearview Accessories.

We also ran a microscope over one of the Custom 4X4OTY contenders this month, with a portal-axled 76 Series LandCruiser proving to be an off-road weapon. Does the Epic76 have the chops to sit on the throne?

Following the successful release of the next-gen Ford Ranger earlier this year, the Blue Oval also brought out a new Everest. We drove the off-road wagon at the launch of the vehicle, and initial impressions are positive. Plus, we’ve included an extensive off-road test of the range-topping 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak.

Work has ramped up with our MU-X build this month, with the wagon receiving suspension treatment from Tough Dog, and a Rola tray and mount package. Our MU-X is starting to look the part, and there’s more quality kit still to come.

Plus, we fit a set of Clearview Accessories’ neat-looking compact mirrors to a 200 Series LandCruiser, and Evan installs a myCOOLMAN 47-litre Roamer fridge in the back of his FJ.

Expedition National Park in Queensland is right in the heart of sandstone country, and, while it might be overshadowed by the more popular Carnarvon Gorge, it’s a park that is not to be missed.
