Show 'N' Shine Competition

Got a beast of a 4WD you’re proud of? Whether it’s sitting on a monster lift kit, packed with custom mods, a beautifully restored classic or a rare off-road rig that turns heads everywhere it goes – this is your chance to show it off.

The Shannons Show ‘N’ Shine at the Ready 4 Adventure Show is where serious 4WD enthusiasts bring their pride and joy for everyone to admire. Park it up, pop the bonnet, and let the crowds check out the details that make your build unique.

Even better, your rig will be judged by the legends from MadMates – Mad Matt and Lucas Bree who know a thing or two about what makes a proper off-road machine. From tough touring setups to wild custom builds, they’ll be looking for the vehicles that stand out from the pack.

And it’s not just bragging rights on the line.
The Best in Show will take home a $500 cash prize, plus serious respect from fellow 4WD lovers.

Spaces are limited (25 cars per day) and vehicles must be registered online prior to the event, so don’t leave it until the last minute.

If your 4WD deserves the spotlight, now’s the time to prove it.
