The October 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia is officially out now, with two stunning custom builds stealing the show.
The modified Hilux SR5 on the cover is destined for a Cape York adventure, following an epic transformation from work rig to family tourer. The N80 is loaded with quality equipment for a Cape crusade, including an AMVE canopy, an AFN front bar, a Legendex four-inch snorkel and an In-House Fabrication air-box.
The second modified rig is a 79 Series LandCruiser meticulously pieced together by the expert team at Rambler Vehicles. TJM bar work and side-steps, a Hayman Reese X-Bar, a PWR intercooler, upgraded NPC 1300Nm clutch, and a Superior Engineering rear coil conversion are just some of the many changes.
Our MU-X build ramps up this month with the addition of a full suite of MSA 4x4 gear including an Explorer drawer and fridge slide. Plus, we installed an Australian-made TAG XR Recovery bar to the rear-end of the Isuzu - the first time this specific bar has been fitted to a wagon.
Matt was busy this month hitching a Jayco Journey Outback caravan to the back of six popular dual-cab utes, to find the best tow vehicle currently on the market. The test was done as part of our much bigger overall mega dual-cab ute test.
In this month’s instalment of 4X4 Australia’s ‘how to off-road’ driving series, Deano takes an in-depth look at the different 4x4 systems and traction aids available - what they do, and how to best use them.
