Overlander 4x4 Magazine

19 May 2023

Fancy an epic day’s laning in North Wales? Of course you do. We haven’t run a Roadbook in the last few issues of 4x4, but with summer on the way this month we’ve got a good ‘un for you. It’s a route we used a couple of years or so back – we laid it out during a break between lockdowns, but by the time it was published a lot of you were confined to barracks once again. For those of you who did do it at the time, though, we’ve added a load more lanes – making this an absolute monster of a route! Talking of monsters, this month we’ve got the latest version of Jeep’s ridiculously fast all-electric Wrangler, the Magneto 3.0. We’ve got a beast of a winch motor, too, which was built to be a Chelsea cruiser but found its redemption amid the mud of Kirton. We’ve got one of the few Fourtraks ever to be properly modified, too – and this month’s 4x4 of the Best section is a feast of classic off-roaders in the beautifully boxy shape of the Jeep Cherokee. On test this month are three very different vehicles – the scorching Skoda Kodiaq vRS, Subaru’s all-electric Solterra and a one-off Kia Sportage built to highlight what the company’s technology can achieve in the mud. There’s the usual range of news and products updates in 4x4 this month, too – including the latest story of green lane enthusiasts working together with local authorities to improve the countryside. Which brings us back to the start. Fancy an epic day’s laning in North Wales? Of course you do – and the latest issue of 4x4 is where you’ll find it!
