Unofficial Land Rover concept is how we want the next Land Rover
Land Rover is working quite enthusiastically to bring the all-new icon of the 4×4 world however, they haven’t been quite successful with the concept DC100 as it did make headlines throughout the auto media, none of which seemed quite optimistic in it’s success. The DC100 is outrageous as it is everything futuristic but lack the fundamentals of the long and lasting LR. The Dezyn Smith as he likes to refer to himself, dreams up the next LR and does a better job than the folks at LR design studio. This design packs up the fundamentals of LR and is in …

One of the most unforgiving Rallies of Pakistan; 2012 Cholistan Rally is here
Before the advent of private media, there were motorsports events held in Pakistan but they had insignificant impact on the masses due to lack of coverage and exposure. Now though, since the media gained its freedom during the economic boom, motorsports in Pakistan have seen a bullish trend amongst the people as more and more people are inclined towards it. Internet has also played its part where Pakistan largest automotive community ‘PakWheels’ has portrayed the bright sight of motorsports amongst the masses. Apart from Extreme Autocross, Jhal Magsi Rally, there is another rally event held since a lot of time …

An off-roading trip to Kanrach and Tubko for star party
Most of the 4x4s (and fwd cars) have independent suspensions; Pajero, Land Cruiser, Jeep, MUTT and McLaren MP4-12C as well and while you can’t possibly swap the front axle with the rear one in an MP4-12C but you can in a MUTT, with some basic tools – 1500 FT. above sea level in moon light. All you need is almost 30 minutes to swap the axles and(/or) repair the bearings to make the vehicle three-wheel-drive as during off-roading, push is better than pull and therefore, when the rear-right-axle broke, we had to swap it with the front-right-one. Now I understand …

The most hardcore off-road Borneo expedition you’ll read this month
This awesome expedition report I am able to read after the Belgian couple who traversed through Congo last year. This trip, organized by Indonesian Off-road federation, this little adventure is awesome because, it is the first time after 25 years someone in vehicles has decided to try to pass through a jungle where once in in 1985, all 15 Land Rovers trying to cross it were stuck and had to be air-lifted out of the jungle. Any expedition is very simple when describe in words so was is this one. While sticking as much as close as they can to …

A scrap yard full of unsung heroes of 4×4
The G-class is a truly capable machine but there’s a problem with it which it shares with Cayenne, it is too expensive and ostentatious. Therefore, when it comes to some true off-roading on expeditions, exploring or some 4×4 fun, even the Cayenne owners have been spotted with having Land Cruisers, Patrols or Pajeros. These cheap and easy to maintain classic 4x4s took so little and did so much that wars have been fought and won because of the mobility they provided. The Chad war a.k.a Toyota war and then the recent Libyan uprising used Toyota pickup trucks making it loud …

Maruti Suzuki teases 2014 Jimny concept
Suzuki Jimny is quite popular as a small SUV capable of reaching the same heights as Toyota Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero and Nissan Patrol, but under a good driver. It is the choice of a lot of Pakistanis who enter rallies, etc. But its price doesn’t justify its capability even than it has been popular however, the category D of the recent Jhal Magsi rally had only 1.3 Jimnys which speaks alot about it. Now though, it is time for the world to embrace an all-new Jimny, but don’t get too much excited as, Maruti Suzuki announced that it will …
What happens in Jhal, does not stays in Jhal
How do I begin this, the rally bug is addictive to say the least! Desert devil and I were remembering our words after last years rally. Yaar this track is awful, real car breaker, its too cold at night, it’s too dusty, it’s too far (return journey of 26 hours driving continuously) but we have done it, so it’s like “been there, done that”. However, it was our first and last Jhal Magsi Rally participation but, the true meaning of addiction is that the moment it was announced for this year we both said, I am going definitely. As usual …

Video: This is how it looks to drive on Karakoram Highway
Traveling via roads on your 4×4 is an adventure because air-travel might have reduced time spent in reaching destinations but they are very boring so instead buy a good 4×4 and began your journey and embrace freedom as any site you see on the road is accessible. 4×4 Engaged’s member and guru of off-roading and adventure, JanJ did what he does best. He took off on a journey to (Bualtar)Hopar Glacier which is active and has life above it and the road which leads to it is the Karakoram Highway, once called as “The glaciated mother of every epic drive” …
