With both his beloved trucks off the road this month, Roothy takes up our hire car challenge and heads to the Queensland Outback for a whirlwind adventure. Covering some of the harshest but beautiful country, from dirt highways to dunes, he takes his crew out for some 4WDing fun at Carisbrooke Station. Will the hire trucks get them through, and who says girls don't make good recovery crews? Watch it Roothy, you're outnumbered! Got a craving for some tasty customs? First on the menu, we serve up a droolingly good 90 Series that's been built for both fun and touring - it's an off-roader's dream. Next up, we chow down on a whole smorgasbord of custom goodness as we hook up with a club and forum run at Coffs Harbour. Topping it all off, we wrap our chops around a G60 Patrol that's been built with brotherly love... and a big grinder! It'll get your heart pumping and your hand reaching for the chequebook. We take on a bit of tech time as Roothy keeps us up to date with Milo's Terrain Tamer engine rebuild, and we take a look at Cooper Tires's top tips on how to get the most out of your tyres in any terrain. We also catch up with the 4WD Action gang as we check out part two of 'Meet the Crew' and find out how Tyce went on his quest to run a stock HiLux ute through The Trench. Yep, saved the best till last - Roothy's cooking! This month, the 4WD Action crew dropped around to the home of our Best 4WD of 2008 poll winner and slapped on a BBQ for 20 of his mates. With Roothy wielding the tongs, it was far from a boring feed of burnt snags and stale bread rolls... top tucker all round! Australian 4WD Action - it's the only show that fills your lounge room with mud and dust, but without leaving all the mess!
