4x4 Builds
Built for wherethe road ends
Expedition-grade 4x4 preparation, servicing and touring builds.
Gaby Mechanical · Currumbin Waters
Built by people who live it.
Gaby Mechanical is run by genuine 4x4 enthusiasts. The gear we fit to customers' vehicles is the gear we run on our own — proven on beach runs, hinterland tracks and long remote trips before it ever earns a place in the workshop.
Years of building and touring means we've road-tested almost every part on the market. If a product hasn't earned our trust, it doesn't go on your vehicle — and that experience is how we know precisely which parts are worth your money for the trips you're planning.
Fitted & installed here
We only work with the best
Every brand here has earned its place the hard way — tested on our own rigs, in the places where gear either holds up or lets you down.
How a build comes together
Five stages
Whether it's one upgrade or a ground-up touring build, the order matters — each stage builds on the one before it.
01
Plan the build
Where you're going, what you're towing, how long you're out for. The plan comes from the trips you want to do — not from a catalogue.
02
Suspension & lift
Springs, shocks and geometry matched to your load, GVM-aware. The difference between a rig that floats over corrugations and one that shakes itself apart.
03
Protection & recovery
Bar work, underbody protection and rated recovery points — the gear that keeps a remote-track problem being a story, not a disaster.
04
Storage & power
Drawers, fridge slides, dual batteries, solar and 12V wiring done properly — so everything works at camp on day nine, not just day one.
05
Shakedown & service
Pre-trip inspections, post-trip checks, and servicing that knows what beach running and corrugations actually do to a vehicle.
