Our reputation for high quality products that solve issues inherent in the design of modern 4WDs, without creating more issues that need to be resolved, has been growing rapidly. For the most part, we've built this reputation supplying DIY 4WD enthusiasts, the kind who have the gear and the willingness, to fit their own,...

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...

Every time we advertise or post something about DPF back exhaust systems on social media, we get comments like, "fitting a DPF back exhaust is pointless, you'll get no benefit..." and similar. Well, back in 2019 we proved, using a dyno, that while this widely held belief may be true with regard to some,...

Gone was the seriously outdated RT series (2012-2019), and in, was...

Despite the fair State of Victoria being a neighbour, it’s the tyranny of time, not distance, that prevents me from visiting that 4WD Holy Grail in the Great Dividing Range, the Victorian High Country, more regularly. My first visit was near-thirty years ago, the last five years ago and again I find myself there...

David has a chat with Gillian and Tom about the Loaded4X4 Dynamic Tune 40mm lift kit fitted to their 2021 Isuzu D-MAX. They discuss how it drives and tows, and how it is far superior to the stock suspension.

There are some real benefits that come with upgrading the undercooked stock suspension in your Triton or Pajero Sport, from ride and handling improvements, to improved load carrying ability. But there are choices to make and some basic physics to understand, before you throw your credit card at a new kit.

I undertook one of my annual Mitsubishi product training weekends last month at Lancelin in Western Australia, where I was once again reacquainted with the QF Pajero Sport and MR Triton. They’re both really capable and I think often underrated 4WDs that have one feature that’s been setting them apart from the competition for...
