Overlander 4x4 - September 2022

Bu sayıda

This is already 4x4 magazine’s 40th anniversary, but there’s another milestone in our history this year too – and we’re celebrating it in the new issue.
It was in September 2002 that we launched Total Off Road – a magazine which still lives on today as part of 4x4, having merged with it a few years ago.
So we’ve taken a look back at the features from that first ever issue – including a Defender 90 that was already a comp safari legend even then, a cheerfully chaotic French lane run aboard the brand new Jeep Cherokee and one of the first Grand Vitaras ever to be modified into an off-road weapon.
There’s plenty more besides, of course, too. Including an ex-military G-Wagen restored into a work of retro art, news of a British success in a legendary African off-road event and a proper all-round test of the new Subaru XV.
In addition, we’ve put two seemingly identical SUVs under the spotlight to find the differences that matter – and if you’re waiting eagerly for the all-new Volkswagen Amarok, we’ve got the story on what it is you’re waiting for.
And on top of all that, this month’s Roadbook is an absolute epic, combining glorious views from the lanes of the Long Mynd with some of the monster fords for which this part of Shropshire is known. A proper way to celebrate twenty years since the first issue of Total Off Road!
