We are thrilled to announce the winners of our inaugural 4X4 Of The Year!

Over the last couple of months, we collected hundreds of entries across our various classes; Tourer, Classic, Tradie, Mall Crawler, Rock Crawler, and Comp Truck!

The judges definitely had their work cut out for them in shortlisting and this was a real credit to the owners. We all love our fourby’s and this was immediately evident in the detail and size of some of these builds. Most importantly, many of the photos used for submission were of your rigs in use – out enjoying our beautiful country (well maybe not the mall crawlers!) So well done to all.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered or voted and congratulations to the winners of Club 4X4’s 4X4 Of The Year 2021!

A special thank you also to our sponsors; Opposite Lock, Toyo Tires, Tough Dog, Rhino Rack and Autobarn who helped bring this competition to life.

You can view our winners and shortlisted entries below! You can also check out more photos and details at www.club4x4.com.au/4x4oty
