The Australian Outback is a world like no other. It’s full of discovery, heaps of wildlife (even settings where life shouldn’t thrive), ornate landscapes ranging from scenic vistas to barren wastelands, and plenty of challenges the second you venture off the beaten track in your 4x4 – particularly when the sun goes down.
You see the second you leave the tarmac for a sense of adventure, visibility, or should we say the lack thereof, becomes a serious concern. And the worst part, you won’t realise how much visibility you need on your 4x4 adventure until it’s too late.
One thing you can do is upgrade your 4x4’s factory standard headlights with some aftermarket driving lights – take our TJM Ultima LED driving lights for example.

Camping setups may be a debate that lasts until the end of time. Everyone has their preferences and requirements such as retractable awnings, foldable tables, portable showers, collapsible fire pits and so on, but none are debated more than your individual sleeping experience.
We are, of course, talking about the big three: tents, swags and roof tops.
So, being camping fanatics and testing all three in different environments, we thought we might shed some light on the pros and cons that come with each sleeping preference.
So, get comfortable and discover which portable or fixed shelter is the best for your next getaway

We all know that when you trek off-road, having enough ground clearance to tackle the track ahead is imperative to ensure your 4x4 can handle the journey.
So, the first thing that comes to mind is getting yourself a suspension upgrade.
But unfortunately, when you equip your 4x4 with an aftermarket suspension system, that’s designed to lift your vehicle above its factory standard parameters, you’re potentially losing a degree of castor and camber adjustment for every inch you lift your vehicle.

Picture this, you’ve just purchased a brand new LC300 and immediately deck it out with 4x4 essentials such as a bull bar, underbody guards, a winch, side bars, steps, rear step tow bar, an awning for good measure, along with an auxiliary battery, long range fuel tank and a roof rack.
You’re ready to explore the outback right!? Just one small problem…
After you’ve installed these aftermarket accessories, there’s approximately just 125-260kg payload remaining (depending on your LC300 model). That’s 125-260kg for all your passengers, cargo, tow ball and anything else you’re bringing along with you on your travels.

On May 9, the Australian Government announced its budget for the 2023-24 financial year.
There was some good, particularly the government’s ability to bring us into a surplus for the first time in 15 years, and some not so good (to put it delicately) – particularly when it comes to the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme.
You see, as part of the measures introduced for small business, a temporary $20,000 threshold for the small business instant asset write-off scheme will apply for one year, following the end of the temporary full expensing rules.

Off-roading enthusiasts know the importance of a reliable and high-quality snorkel system when venturing into the great outdoors. For those who truly want to embrace the spirit of adventure, our TJM Airtec Snorkels are the perfect addition to your 4x4. Learn more as we dive into the features and benefits of TJM Airtec Snorkels and why they’re a must-have for any off-road enthusiast.
Fitting a TJM Airtec snorkel to a four-wheel drive makes a lot of sense, for a lot of reasons. It's a smart and relatively inexpensive way to safeguard the four-wheel drive’s engine from a variety of potential hazards such as water and dust as its design allows the engine to breath fresh, clean air from way up high rather than down low where the traditional air intake is often located.

If you’ve got yourself a new boat, jet ski or caravan, chances are you’re chomping at the bit to hook up that new addition to your 4WD and enjoy nature’s playground sooner rather than later.
Now, hooking up that trailer or caravan to a capable 4x4 and driving off into the sunset sounds simple enough, however, when it comes to safety, get it wrong and you can end up in some scary and even life-threatening situations.
So, how do you ensure you’re properly prepared for towing and doing it safely?
Well, when we look at towing safety, it boils down to three areas or components:
- The towing vehicle itself
- The connection between the towing vehicle and the trailer/caravan
- And finally, the trailer or caravan being towed
And each one of these components has its own set of safety/preparation requirements you need to know about. So, let’s get into it!

Trekking across the country with your family, or on your own, with a portable home fixed to the back of your rig for months on end is an experience like no other. It gives you the opportunity to see what this land really has to offer, and marvel at its many landscapes and iconic wonders without having to worry about heading home early, setting up a shelter or finding suitable accommodation.
However, regardless of your experience level, towing a caravan is a lot more complex than simply hitching up to any stock standard tow ball and hightailing it to your holiday destination. It requires a capable 4WD that’s designed to handle all of your towing and journey requirements, as well as an understanding of the rules and regulations when it comes to towing, safety and initial setup.
And who better to give us their expert insights, tips and tricks when it comes to towing with a caravan than our official partner, TAG Towbars. TAG has been designing and manufacturing towbars in Australia for over 30 years, and has one of the largest ranges of towbars and wiring solutions in the country. In fact, their comprehensive range of towbars and towing accessories covers over 90% of the vehicles on the road in Australia today!
So, without further adieu, let’s dive right into the top 7 tips & tricks you need to know when it comes to towing a caravan.
And we kick things off with a couple of tips to make hitching almost effortless.

The ability to just load up your 4x4, head off-road and immerse yourself in the Australian Outback is a liberating experience we can’t begin to describe.

Equipped with advanced Osram LED technology, these 4x4 driving lights are able to produce a high output of crisp, white light, resulting in incredible brightness over long distances.
