Day 2 on the Mojave Road includes the most difficult and dangerous terrain of the entire trip, the climb up Paiute Ridge and the descent into Watson Wash. After reaching a campsite at Fort Paiute on Day 1, HotCars contributor Michael Van Runkle and his Dad push their two Mitsubishi Monteros further into the desert and closer to the limit of their abilities in this installment.
The stock '98 proves that Mitsubishi built the Montero properly, while the modded '94 shows just how valuable all those expensive upgrades really are. Other highlights along the way include an incredible water source at Marl Springs, the Mojave Mailbox, and lava flows that provide some protection from the incessant wind.
