The "wide vs skinny" tire debate between off-roaders has been going on forever. In this excellent video by Tinkerer's Adventure, the myths are put to the test, proven, and busted

Great shot of the SS Maheno shipwreck on Queensland's coast.

Definitely a spot I'd visit again.

I first bought a vacuum sealer for experimenting with fermenting chillies. Using it for camping wasn't the plan, but it turns out, it's been a great addition.

A serious LC70 build going on at one of my local workshops. Love it.

When touring and camping remotely, it pays to have an emergency communication system with you in case the worst should happen.

Modern 4x4 winches boast some big load ratings. Given that your average 4x4 weighs less than two-thirds of a winches rating it should be more than enough? Not quite.

A lot of big numbers get quoted on off-road recovery gear, but sometimes these might not mean what you think, and too often are just outright useless.

This isn't my dog... I was packing the truck outside for a trip and one of the neighbour's pups decided they were coming 😅

Toyota's latest 70 series has been the subject of much debate, both in terms of positive additions and long-running complaints still unresolved

99% of the time when you see a recovery hitch with a bow shackle installed, it is done horizontally, but this creates unnecessary stress and wear. Read more.

UHF antennas for 4x4s range anywhere from 1-8 feet tall, but more antenna doesn't always mean more range.

Are mud-terrain or all-terrain tires best for YOUR four-wheel-drive?

Compare and find out.

The "regular vs high octane" petrol debate has been going for years. Unfortunately, these debates are based on incorrect understandings and assumptions.

Many recovery points aren't rated for single-point recoveries and are designed to be used with a bridle, but improper use can still result in damaging your vehicle.
