We welcome a host of special editions, one offs and fresh-off-the-press news this month in Overlander 4x4 thanks to exciting updates from across the off-roading scene. Want a taste of what the July issue has to offer? Say less…

Isuzu have launched the Mudmaster. It’s their response to working with us on the GO2 and liking what they saw. Based on the current V-Cross range-topper, it features a snorkel, LED grille, lifted suspension, custom rock sliders… the list goes on and on, so head to page 4 for the full run down. Some stiff competition for out GO2 here we feel.

Ineos have released the Grenadier 1924 to mark Belstaff’s 100-year anniversary. Ineos bought the clothing company back in 2017 and have created the 1924 to celebrate this long-lived British brand by naming it after its establishing year and lacing it with some seriously sleek stuff!

Lexus might not be the brand you’d choose for an off-road expedition, but for daily duties they are hard to beat in the consistent excellence stakes. They were the first to bring hybrid power to the SUV arena and offer a range of genuinely impressive vehicles. We try out their new UX300e, a small but sharp entry-level model that gives us a realistic look at what SUV’s have become for the average driver. Slingshot acceleration being a part of that apparently…

With ‘look-at-me’ Land Rovers now 10-a-penny, Paul Wilde just wanted a 110 that he could live in while he was travelling the world. In doing so though, he created something that people REALLY want to look at. His 2.4 litre Puma 110 with its electric green exterior and innumerable customisations feature from page 28.

A Namibian adventure, a wander across wonderful Wales and a rally in the Sahara later you will still not be near the end of what the July issue has between its pages!

STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE

There’s nothing very middle-of-the-road about Dave Yates’ Mitsubishi L200. But with modified double-cabs tending to divide themselves into big-money builds and bargain-bucket weld-ups, with not a lot in between, the company that helped him build it hopes to become the go-to supplier for people wanting to plough a new furrow down the centre ground

DEMOGRAPHICS

With more and more modified Ford Rangers and Jeep Wranglers appearing at the top end of the off-road scene, you might be forgiven for thinking no-one is doing it with Land Rover Defenders any more. But while 90s and 110s have indeed been redefined by their galloping values, they’re still right at the heart of the UK off-road scene – as very ably demonstrated by this slick new demo truck from Terrafirma, and of course its cool Union Jack artwork
