COMPETITORS V8 SUVs with roid rage

On the double • Most bakkie campers can only accommodate two people, but the Obiqua offers shelter for four.

Get ready for an overland trip • Here are the top five items to get before embarking on an epic journey through our neighbouring countries.

First Aid 101 • Accidents happen, which is why it pays to always be prepared. Here’s what to do in case of an emergency at the campsite.

Axles, lockers & grinding teeth • What is the difference between a powertrain and a drivetrain? How does 4x4 differ from diff locks, and should a diff lock be fitted on the front or rear axle? Here are the answers…
