4WD Action 121 ON SALE NOW Issue 121 opens up with a cracking shot of a six-wheeled, dual-cab monster Patrol from Western Australia. Geoff’s highly-modified GU sports a hydraulic ram to tilt the custom tray and canopy on the rear of the fourby, as well as an 81L water tank and a Glide hot water system. Next cab off the rank is a highly modified 1989 GQ Patrol that’s had an incredible conversion into a highly capable comp truck. Michael bought the stock high-roof model with 170,000km on the clock, and after turning into a tough daily driver decided to go all the way and chop and change until it was as capable as any other 4WD in the Australian competitive 4WD scene. Bryan steps us through a Buying Used guide for the trusty TF Rodeo, and points out what to look out for when you’re looking at buying one of these durable Holden 4WDs. After that we take a look at the art of driving in sand dunes, and Ramsay takes off on one epic adventure with his navvy Erin to the centre of Australia in his well-known GQ. Brendan Batty headers down past Goulburn to check out the 5th Bushranger Off-Road 4x4 Clubkhana held recently on the Toyota LandCruiser Club’s Willowglen property. This friendly, family-based competition has been running strong for half a decade now, and caters for all sorts of 4WDs ranging from your stock Hilux to modified comp trucks.

It’s Australia’s favourite 40 Series LandCruiser – an iconic green machine that’s seen more of this amazing land than Captain Cook. Milo, Roothy’s chopped, modified and customised ‘Cruiser, has been doing the rounds for years now, and we thought it was high time that we paid tribute to it. Judging by the amount of correspondence we receive every month, we know a lot of you are massive fans of Milo, so this month we take a look at the build-up, some of the best highlights from the trips that Roothy’s done, and where Milo might be going in the future. Surely he’s not going to cut it down into a competition truck – is he? Not that there’s anything wrong with 30-year-old trucks, but after Milo we’ve got some awesome custom trucks that are a bit younger! First off, we take a trip to North Stradbroke Island to check out an awesome triple-axled, dual-cab GU Patrol that’s been set up to tour around Australia. Then, we jump in with the owner of an awesome Pajero with a solid-axle swap who reckons he owns the ultimate all-rounder, and we take a look at one of the toughest competition-spec GQ Patrols around. Did someone say dual-cab chop, 42in tyres and full hydraulic suspension? When you’re done checking out the killer customs, Glenn brings you some more DIY tips to save money while modifying your 4WD. There’s also plenty of technical advice and tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your vehicle. And of course, we couldn’t forget Roothy’s cooking, so we hope you’ve got a big appetite! All this and more in Australian 4WD Action – the show that’s been riding shotgun in Milo for the past decade. You can see all this and more on Issue 121’s free DVD, out now at your local newsagent. |
