4XJournal was born from a need for high-quality, story-driven content about 4WD adventure — right here in Aotearoa. With an incredible mix of Japanese imports and New Zealand-new four-wheel drives on our roads and tracks, we’ve long had the tools to explore our own backyard. Now, we’re telling the stories that come from those journeys.
Down every gravel road, beach trail, and high-country pass, there’s a story waiting to be told — about the vehicle, the people behind the wheel, and the local businesses supporting the scene. That’s where we come in.
From technical builds to off-grid escapes, 4XJournal captures the heart of New Zealand’s 4WD culture — in print and online. Independent, adventurous, and proudly Kiwi.
I have photographed two specific articles for this magazine but my coverage photos of the 4x4 Outdoor Expo also feature in Volume 2. In Volume 3 'Benos Masterclass' I photographed a heartbreaking story of a wonderful man named Sam who's dream was to build up Toyota 80 Series but unforunatly passed away too soon to finish, so his parents continued the build for him, in his memory.
In Volume 4 'Patrol Mastery', I photographed a Nissan Navara D40 build, one of the most epic Nav builds in NZ.
