1990 Toyota LC HDJ80 Sahara

7

It’s been a long road of love and hate. It has a two-inch lift with 33-inch tyres on Sunraysia 15-inch rims, and an ARB front bar with side steps and scrub bars. On the roof are four spotties facing forwards, with a light bar underneath, three small light bars either side, with two light bars at the rear and two rock lights underneath. It’s currently having its engine (1HD-T) rebuilt with ARP head studs and a new turbo. I bought the car a little over two years ago and have been slowly tidying up and fixing all the backyard jobs that were originally done to it - Connor West

2013 Toyota Prado GLX 150

7

I’ve owned it for five years now and I’m always doing something new to it. It has a three-inch lift front and rear; three-inch stainless exhaust; upgraded K&N filter; and a dual battery system to power all the lights and important stuff. I’ve built a custom drawer setup in the rear that works for both my job and getting away. The best place I’ve been with my 4x4 is easily Fraser Island, and I’m looking forward to going again - Ernie McMullen Jnr

2022 Mitsubishi Triton GSR

7

Mods include a HPD intercooler; DPF back Pacemaker King Brown Exhaust; Loaded 4x4 bash plates; Ironman Foam Cell Pro two-inch lift; Ironman front and rear bars; Rockford Fosgate audio setup; Ironman winch; Wildpeak 275/65R18 tyres; and a Safari snorkel. I’m about to install a GME 390 UHF. My favourite spot so far has been Kenilworth in Queensland - Wayne Barnes

1999 Nissan GU Patrol

7

It’s a 1999 GU with a Series 4 facelift. Equipment includes a Cummins 6BT conversion kit from Killa; TJM bullbar, side steps and side bars; TJM snorkel; TJM 12k winch; TJM HD air compressor with tank; TJM front locker; rear factory LSD; Airbag Man rear bags with in-cabin controller; TJM three-inch lift kit with panhard rods and drag links; Superior Engineering rear control arms, front bump stops, diff truss and rear coil tower bracing; Jacobs extender engine brake; Front Runner racks front and rear, with shower kit and two under-rack tables; Darche Hi-View 180 and 270 Eclipse awning; and a Dometic kitchen sink combo. Double-cab conversion kit, tray and camper built in South America and imported to Costa Rica, where it was transformed - Rolo Morera

2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak

7

I have some big plans for the Ranger in the future. I’d like to add some drawers and slides to the tub, then add a tub rack, and then eventually a rooftop tent. As well as also adding in a 180 awning somewhere along the line. I love spending my free time cruising the Queensland beaches with the 4WD Adventure Girls - Raelee

2009 Nissan D40 Navara

7

It’s a stock Navara but we have been to the Victorian High Country and Toolangi, Victoria. It’s great for camping as I have my Adventure Kings awning and roof-top tent on a custom rack, so I can still have my hard lid on the tub. The next plan for the Nav is to upgrade the tyres, add a lift and also a tray. If you couldn’t tell by the photos, my favourite colour is purple - Carla
