Not sure if others agree with me, but budget cars can be the most fun .

[@dfcvda]

its the lack of worry they give you, you break it? buy another.

[@georgejacob3162]

They sure are! I've been off-roading in my old cars and I've never even owned an off-roader.

[@WanderingMeanderer]

100% of the time! As you lose all ego and risk, resulting in pure fun!

[@georgejacob3162]

I had one car written off in a low speed head on crash (due to the other party driving in the middle of the road round a blind bend) and while the other party was crying over the damage to their precious, precious car I was like "Oh well, NEXT!"

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

Not caring about a car is just better, i took a Corsa green laning once and it was great fun. The car didn't even care, 140,000 miles 1.2 litre and it just kept going

I have a Mitsubishi Montero that my Jeep friends initially ragged mercilessly. However over many 4x4 trips thru Colorado, Utah, California etc., I’ve been badged the "Mothership" because I’m the one who carries people back to town to get parts, tools, etc., sometimes going over the same trail six times (that broke their jeeps) in a day. It’s old, 170k miles, flawed in a few ways, but it has NEVER left me stranded. Sadly, Mitsubishi has discontinued the model. Mine's a 2002 so it’s 16 years old and still runs great! Locking center and rear diff's but open front so it’s essentially a three wheel drive. A locking front would be nice but sadly not available. If Mitsubishi ever releases a new version, it buy another one today! 😎

[@bread-gz3rl]

Id buy an Isuzu Trooper tbh, or an older montero. Although I'll probably just get a F350 I don't care about and weld a chunk of steel square tube on it for bumpers.

[@Erin-Thor]

@@bread-gz3rl - LOL! It has over 240k miles on it now and still runs and starts perfectly! I bought a Nissan as my daily driver now, just keep the Mitsubishi for fun and games. It’s been a fun ride! 👍🏽

[@aadi8568]

Captain also as well. He's got the factz

[@Martynaskuc]

Just a couple of things when winching guys: 1. When winching you should be inside a vehicle and try to drive your car out of the puddle. Basically - help a winch to get you out, therefore increasing its lifespan by putting a less stress. 2. NEVER EVER Stand to the side of a cable like you did at 8:44. Cable could easily snap and it could end up badly

[@danielwilson5102]

If you try and drive the vehicle out as well as winching you run the risk of leaving slack on the drum which could fuck your cable as it won't wind on properly.

[@alexkersten1964]

Cheers for the advice. Noted!

[@MattTester]

They're using synthetic rope in this case so it wouldn't do any harm if it broke, still good advice though and something draped over the rope always helps.

[@AlexJosten]

Also avoid having your thumbs inside the steering wheel as kickback on the wheel (like when driving over a big rock) could break your thumbs

[@Martynaskuc]

Of course! You have to coordinate your winch speed together with your throttle

[@Leo-ti9nl]

I like it how exciting you are in every video, but still informative! I really enjoy your videos! 4:17 Camera-man spotted

Where ?!?!? It is just a stone

All of it just because of this video. Thank you so much!!!

Generally it does everything you want it to. And as we have now seen, Mitsubishi know how to make VERY capable cars.

The remote cable in the winch is so you can operate it from inside the car where you are warm and dry :-) Plus you can use light throttle to assist the winch and more importantly, be at the controls should something happen, i.e. car starts rolling away. But I will agree, it is incredible fun!

[@stevesmith7530]

I only stumbled across you a couple of days ago, and as a keen off-roader and instructor, I really hope since making some of these older videos I have seen that you have learned to hold the steering wheel properly :) I agree for smiles per pound, nothing compares to a cheap 4x4 and getting down and dirty on some green lanes. I also wish more people have seen the saloon cars off road, no need to spend thousands on ridiculous tyres, huge lift kits etc, just pick the right line and almost any car will go almost anywhere.

[@Jimexter]

I live in the US, and we don't have the Pinon, Jimny, Fortuner, Endeavor, or Pajero. All we have is $85,000 loaded 200 series Land Cruisers (no 70 series) and Jeep Wranglers. I'm pretty sure they used to sell the Sportrak here under the Rocky name, but that was at least 20 years ago and I can't find one. Plus, with the 25 year import rule, all of the good stuff we can import is way too expensive due to demand.
