December 2023 issue of 4X4 Australia is out now

The December 2023 issue of 4X4 Australia magazine is out now.

Our cover car to close out 2023 is OzTrack Custom's showcase 79 Series, built as the ultimate business card for the brand. With a state-of-the-art Superior Engineering suspension set-up and a fettled V8 powertrain resulting in more power and torque, this has to be one of the most expertly made custom LandCruisers in the country.

Another custom build we’ve managed to squeeze into this issue is an Isuzu D-MAX bought from the showroom with 0km on the clock. The brand-spanking-new D-MAX provided its owner with the perfect platform to build a personalised do-it-all tourer from scratch.

Renowned aftermarket specialists, Rambler Vehicles, has developed a solution to rectify the Chevrolet Silverado Trailboss's loading and towing deficiencies, by developing a GVM and GCM upgrade package. Rambler offered us the keys to sample it, and we jumped at the chance.

On the topic of quality builds, we’ve taken the spanners to our Tradie Triton, ramping it up with a set of Hankook Dynapro AT2 tyres wrapped around Fuel Rebel wheels. On the inside, we’ve added a set of MSA 4x4 seat covers and covered the floor with TruFit 3D mats.

The December 2023 magazine also marks the return of our budget Patrol build, with the GQ getting a Fulcrum Suspension Formula 4x4 big bore kit.

We got our hands on some new metal this month, taking the all-new Premcar-fettled Patrol Warrior to Climies Track. Typically not an environment for showroom-stock vehicles, but can the Patrol Warrior survive Tassie’s toughest off-road track?

The two most popular new vehicles in Australia – statistically speaking – are the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, so it made sense to test Toyota’s new halo HiLux GR Sport against the highly capable, off-road-ready Wildtrak X. Full comparison inside!

On the travel front, we explore WA’s remote and beautiful Dirk Hartog Island, which is an essential bucket-list destination for those desiring solitude. Plus, we list five of Queensland's most remote, desolate, historic and breathtakingly beautiful national parks that need to be seen to be believed.
