It’s one of the perks of my day job that I get to share 4WD journeys with neat people and Harry and Kathleen are no exception. I first met them back in August of 2022 at an Isuzu I-Venture Club event I was running in the Lancelin sand dunes in Western Australia where they...

Measure your trim heights before you start. It is recommended that trim height measurements are done from the centre of the wheel to the lip of the guard or factory flare. This keeps the measurement in line with the records kept by transport authorities and eliminates variance between wheel sizes. If the suspension supplier...

Mazda has announced two new accessory packs for the BT-50, designed to boost the off-road capability and visual impact of its popular ute. Or, if you wanted to save some serious coin and end up with a more capable vehicle, you could give the following 'pack' a go.

Isuzu Ute Australia made a significant change to their fortunes in 2020 with the release of the all-new D-MAX and with the sales-hysteria that tracked in pace with Covid’s rampant run through the community, it was gravy days to be an Isuzu dealer.

Our most recent visit to K’Gari (Fraser Island) in the Triton was our third in as many years and each successive visit has seen our Triton morph from completely stock, through to the far more capable and comfortable vehicle you can see in these most recent trip pics. 

Isuzu came up with a winning formula with the release of their significantly improved MY2021 D-MAX. It took a vehicle that was well behind the competition in most aspects and turned it into something desirable and the result has been a serious leg up the sales chart. This particular X-Terrain belongs to Damien and...

Prior to owning my 2020 Mitsubishi Triton GLXR, I knew nothing about 4x4’s let alone 4x4 modifications. The purpose of getting the Triton was to take my family on camping trips to destinations we couldn't get to previously and away from the crowds.

Since we introduced our Dynamic Tune suspension, as an alternative to our stock Sports suspension, 95 percent of our sales have been for Dynamic Tune kits, and the feedback we're receiving is 100 percent positive.  Traditionally, 4x4 lift kits have been all about being 'heavy duty' (I hate that term, it just means you're going...
