Out now: March 2023 issue of 4X4 Australia

One of the most intriguing and anticipated vehicles in years will arrive on local soil very soon.

Closer to home, we took a Nissan Navara SL Warrior – the Pro-4X’s no-frills stablemate – to some wet and slippery off-road tracks in NSW. Does the Premcar-developed SL Warrior offer better bang-for-buck than the premium Pro-4X? For someone who wants an off-road-ready 4x4 from the showroom floor, it makes a compelling case.

The featured custom builds this month include an insanely cool backyard-built FJ45 LandCruiser and a race-inspired Navara.

Our MU-X build gets some storage support with the addition of a Rola Titan tray and Ridge Mount system – perfect for securing a swag and set of Maxtrax.

Plus, our all-new Ranger build reaches a milestone this month, with a top-quality Trig Point canopy replacing the factory tub. Plus, we’ve added new wheels and tyres in the form of Fuel Ripper wheels inside Maxxis RAZR mud-terrains.

In the most recent 'How to 4x4' instalment, Deano reveals the tricks to staying safe on the roads at night – and it takes more than just a great set of LEDs.
