4XJournal Volume 006 – Print Magazine
Volume 006 is here. Get ready for another issue of 4XJournal where we climb high above Queenstown to photograph one of New Zealand’s toughest old-school LN65 Hilux, head to Africa for an overland journey through raw and unpredictable terrain, and dive deeper into the technical side of four-wheel driving with EGT analysis and real-world tyre testing. From touring-focused builds to high-end restorations, event coverage to backcountry crossings, this issue brings together the machines, places, and knowledge shaping the current 4WD scene.

- A tough-wheeling LN65 Hilux built for New Zealand terrain
- A 1KZ Hilux Surf set up for surf touring and long-distance travel
