4WD 24/7, previously known as 4WD Action is an Australian YouTube series that began as a print magazine.[1] Videos are primarily focused on the four wheel driving, camping, and offroad lifestyles.[2]
Issue 301, was released September 2019 and is the last printed edition of the magazine. The monthly magazine and accompanying DVD then ceased production, with the final issue sold as a Collector's Edition.
4WD 24/7 is also prevalent on social media, such as Facebook and Instagram.[3]
History and profile
[edit]The magazine was established in 1998 with the name 4WD Offroad Australia.[4] It was first published on a bimonthly basis.[4] The magazine is published seventeen times a year by Sydney-based independent publishing company Express Media Group (often shortened to EMG).[5]
Australian 4WD Action was previously known as Australian 4WD Monthly, until a 2007 name change.[6] The print magazine edition was the largest and most popular of its kind in Australia, with circulation figures well exceeding those of their nearest competitors.[citation needed]
Staff members have included Production Editor Travis Annabel, Staff Writers Dan Everett, Michael Borg and Dex Fulton, Editors at Large John Rooth (1998 -2014) and Editorial Assistant Chris Thomson.
The organisation has been at the forefront of many offroad related political campaigns, including advocating for bullbar use, and preventing track closures.
4WD Action DVD
[edit]In addition to the magazine, each issue came with a packaged DVD, which is widely regarded as one of the most popular and informative offroad shows in Australia.[citation needed]
