Why Subscribe to 4XJournal? Here’s What You’ll Get

If you’ve picked up a copy of 4XJournal or spotted us on social media, you probably already get the vibe. We’re not here for clickbait, generic content, or AI-generated listicles. We’re here to tell real stories about the rigs, tracks, people, and businesses that make New Zealand’s 4WD scene so damn good.

So why subscribe? Because it’s the best way to get every issue delivered straight to your door — and to support independent, local publishing while you’re at it.

Four Issues Per Year, No FOMO

4XJournal is published quarterly — that’s four full-sized, 90-day shelf-life issues every year. Each one is packed with:

Real-world 4WD builds (homegrown and pro-level)
Off-road track guides across Aotearoa
Honest gear reviews and tech content
Travel stories, bush fixes, and campfire yarns

You’ll get each issue automatically, without having to reorder or worry about stock selling out.

Premium Print, Built to Last

We print 4XJournal on A4 uncoated stock with perfect binding. No gloss, no junk mail quality. These mags are made to live in gloveboxes, toolboxes, or next to the fire with a cold one in hand.

Each issue feels like something worth holding onto — and people do. We’re building a magazine that stacks proudly next to your workshop manuals.

Backing Independent Media in the 4WD Space

There’s no corporate backing here. Subscribing helps us:

Pay contributors and photographers fairly
Cover fuel, freight, and feature costs
Keep this magazine proudly ad-light and story-heavy

Every subscription keeps 4XJournal rolling — literally and figuratively.

Extras and Early Access

Subscribers get:

Early access to new issues
Priority stock on limited-run products and collabs
A direct hand in shaping what we cover next

Want us to feature your truck, story, or local track? Subscribers are always first on our radar.

Yes, We Ship Internationally

Whether you’re based in Auckland or Australia, we can ship your mags to your door. All subscriptions are sent via standard post (untracked), with NZ shipping included in the price.

If you’re gifting a subscription, just enter the recipient’s details at checkout — we’ll take care of the rest.
