MAHINDRA BOGGED!!!

WE BOGGED THE MAHINDRA AND THE SHORTY CRUISER AS WE BASHED OUR WAY THROUGH AN OVER GROWN BUSH TRACK IN SEARCH OF ADVENTURE. #india #mahindra #southafrica #4wd #4x4 #4x4offroad #landcruiser4wd

[@-Awareness]

I love my Mahindra… previous model but totally kitted out… goes anywhere and everywhere… I especially love the smile on peoples faces when they see a Mahindra in some of the extreme places I’ve taken it lol… I’ve got Falken Widpeak mud terrains too and since they’ve been on, its another level of beast… look forward to your progress…

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. That thing sounds a beast!!! I think they show a lot of other 4x4's up lol. I was looking at mud tyres, but decided on all terrains as I drive a long distance of highway to work and back. Thanks again mate👍

[@-Awareness]

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 they definitely do… I have the Ironman 2 inch lift with 350kg constant load rear leafs and it rides beautiful. Mine is a tub back with canopy. Ive got a big lockable toolbox and 900mm draws in the back. Onboard air with tank, dual 128Ah AGM batteries with 1000CCA, roof racks and basket with all the gear including side awining, , hi-lift jack, shovel and fishing rod tube with the recovery boards and shower awning on the rear canopy. 16” black steel rims with the muddys, got the dominator winch too… it can’t be stopped… although probably wouldn’t attempt gunshot with it lol…

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Definitely set up well. And pretty capable. 👍😀

[@tunasalad3919]

This is one heck of a way to explore the wilderness. I love how casually you folks are mowing through the bush.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Yeah I miss the bush, I grew up in country like that. I spent most of my childhood driving tractors and pulling logs through bushland out there. So I had no doubt that the mahindra would do just as good of a job as the old hj45 landcruiser that I used out they years ago.

[@Rangeradam]

Loving watching your videos. Very curious how the Mahindra will perform over time. They have my interest that’s for sure.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Thanks mate. Like every vehicle manufacturer, they have there good reports and there bad ones. Our Colorado had its fair share of recalls, just like my mates hilux, triton, Ranger and Navara. So far from what I have herd from other mahindra owners they are a pretty solid ute. Thanks for watching mate, and stay tuned for our next video where the mahindra gets its new exhaust. 👍

[@allanmumby]

Great work out for the Mahindra,

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Certainly was mate and thanks for watching 👍

[@FordJ1]

Tough little rig. Thinking about getting one eventually to replace my 2004 hilux. Impressively capable with factory traction aids and some decent shoes 👍

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Definitely surprising a lot of people with it. Would be a great replacement for the luxy, and I'm certain you will enjoy it. Like most 4x4's sold, it does benefit from a lift and tyres. 👍

[@luckyphilster]

Would’ve been interesting to see how the cruiser would’ve dealt with the climb. Great show

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

To be absolutely honest with you, I don't think it would have done aye better. The ground was so loose. Even with diff lock the mahindra struggled to get any traction, and I think even with mud tyres the cruiser would have just dug bigger holes. It was just to steep and loose. My brother used to drag timber through there with a dozer or his skidder. Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@alfarojulio-araujo8374]

Mahindra are very capable rigs, up there with Toyota, differ in price, I recon.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. You are very correct about the price. There is no way a 79 series cruiser is 3 times a better 4x4, all because it's 3 times the price.

[@AbAb-nx2zy]

Bajaj and TVS are giving hell of competition to Japanese bikes in African nations. They are simply on top spot now there due to their quality economical bikes. And now Mahindra is ready to do the same in SA and AU. Glad to see it is getting the due acceptance now. Waiting for the day when Tata motors also launch their beautiful vehicles in AU.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Tata tried selling 4x4's in Australia ages ago. It failed miserably. And I can see mahindra doing the same I'm they keep going the way they are.

[@AbAb-nx2zy]

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Tata motors years ago was not doing good even in india. But since last 3 years, they have became favourites in SUV segment in india. Just check the cars they have launched in India lately. Very likeable and feature rich designs.

Another great video Graham! Nice to see the Mahindra actually going through some decent scrub! How to U find the 4wd Supa centre EDS ? Have U had experience with the scan gauge ii ? Just gotten notified my S10+ will be arriving mid March! Keep up the good videos! Cheers mate!

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. We have 2 EDS units. One is in the Colorado, and the other is in the mahindra. They both work extremely well and have had no issues with them at all. Hope this helps mate 👍

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Yep, I do use them both to travel a long distance to work, but I always wanted to see the true potential of the mahindra in the bush. Mud tyres would be nice on the mahindra in certain places, but where we were on this particular trip it wouldn't have mattered. Lol it was just so soft under foot.

[@tpv59]

WELL done. ENJOYED. I Really do like the Mahindra's. All the VERY BEST. (what State are you in if I may ask please???)

Enjoyed watching the cool Mahindra action. Do they have any traction aid on that front diff?

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Thanks for watching mate. Unfortunately no they don't except for the standard traction control.

[@vikramrao2797]

As good as a Mahindra is, my wish for them is to consult with folks like you for their next product because I think you put em thru situations they haven’t thought of yet.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Thanks mate. Yeah I believe you should know the limitations of your 4x4. That way you have a better understanding of whit it's capable of doing, and more importantly of what it won't do. No one like to be stuck or broken down because you didn't know if your 4x4 would make it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Thewog94]

Hi mate, great videos, considering selling my old landcruiser and going to one of these utes so these videos help me gague whether or not I'd be happy with one. Got a question for you, is the rear locker an auto or manual locker? How do you find it performs? On a side note please keep the young fella and everyone away from the winch rope while winching, would hate to see anyone get badly hurt if the rope snaps.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

The diff lock is an auto locking one. It cuts in and out as it needs to. Most of the time you don't even feel it cut in. It's made by EATON so it's built well. 💪 thanks for watching 👍

[@patricioduque1570]

Nice videos, you have changed rim to zero offset rim! Why did not go with negative offset rims?

Thanks mate. But I did go negotiating offset rims. They are neg 13.

[@anirudhchauhan1698]

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 have you teated mahindra in snow? I have just driven in snow. It needs weight on rear and less tyre pressure. No idea which tyres to go with thin or wide profiles..🤔

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

No I haven't, I'd assume you treat it just like sand, Less tyre pressure and wide tyres to float on top maybe.

[@adarshchandran2594]

Compare with prices scorpio is very much worthy

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Especially over here in Australia. The mahindra is on average $20-30,000 cheaper then the mainstream 4x4's.

[@lawdayl]

Hi, enjoying your videos. I'm looking at buying a duel cab Mahindra 4x4. Is the mhawk worth the extra coin in your opinion or should I go an S10 and kit it out? Thanks in advance.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. I think the M hawk is good value for money. But for me personally I liked to make mine different to others. It all comes down to personal taste. I liked the idea of customising to my own needs and price. Which ever way you go you will be happy with it. I hope this helps mate👍

[@lawdayl]

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 yeh, Im thinking along the same lines. I don't need all the fancy wheels etc. Is it the exact same motor in both utes? Also, how is lumbar support on a longer trip? Thanks for getting back to me.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Yeah mate, it's the same engine in all of them. As for comfort, I drive mine over 400km just to go to work. And it is perfect for long drives. 👍

Hi graham I’m getting my own mahindra in a month you drive your mahindra over long distance how did you run-in yours over the first 1000km thanks

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

I actually bought mine from a dealership that was about 300km from home so the first bit was a good distance with varying speeds. After that it was a couple of shorter drives of about 50- 100km to town and back.

[@js21076]

Thanks for that

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

No problem, and thanks for watching 👍

[@js21076]

Looking forward to when your exhaust is updated and you fit the snorkel I’ve been reading a 2.5” straight through works well

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Yeah same here. I'm booked in this Friday to get a 2.5inch mandrel bent system for the dpf back. And a quick measure up for the snorkel. I will be doing a video of the before and after of the exhaust and hopefully a camping trip with the toy hauler and mahindra towing the boat.

[@tingtong4470]

vehicle stucked because of tires. if you are in forest or hills you need gripping tires like other vehicle have otherwise tires will slip

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Yep I agree mate. But unfortunately I drive over 800km to work and back each week on highway roads. Mud tyres wear out way to quickly compared to A/T tyres. So it isn't feasible for me to put mud tyres on the mahindra. Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback 👍

[@ando-p2h]

Good country good driving just that mullet hair Doo is sore on the eyes 😂

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

Lol....mate I agree with you, but apparently it's all the rage at school now😄

[@Patches-vq8cd]

What’s your thoughts on the mahindras carrying capacity? Does the chassis flex much if you put much weight on it? I’m asking this as I wanted to get a work ute. Single cab but it’s going to have close to constant weight of 700kgs. Thanks! Can’t wait to see more vids :)

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate and thanks for watching. In single cab form it would be more than capable. I would definitely throw some better suspension under it as the standard stuff is more set up for comfort then actual weight carrying. But the chassis is built strong and is definitely capable.

[@aruncv1373]

Was that quick sand?

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

G'day mate. It's what we call wallum country. It's where the water table sits just below the surface in large pockets. You can be driving along, and then just punch straight through the surface in to the water saturated ground underneath. It can be really deep, and sometimes you literally have to wait for the ground to dry up before you can attempt to get out. And then can take weeks. On the way out of that paddock we were sinking 4 inches through the actual wheel tracks we made going in there! We only just made it out to the main track.

[@aruncv1373]

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 wow! It’s like a sink hole 🕳, isn’t it. Fascinating! Seeing it for the first time.

[@grahamharris4wdadventures53]

I have seen it where 6 vehicles including 3 tractors and a bulldozer were booked trying to get one 4x4 out of the mud. They had to wait 3 weeks for the ground to be dry enough to get a recovery happening.
