only time I've ever had to use it...steeper than it looks, with a sheer drop behind me, and slippery AF (the other Montero up there winched up as well) next challenge, anything Mitsubishi from the 80s

My oldest offroad vehicle is only 39 years old, but will you give me that extra 1 year since it also has four wheels off?

Haha...., I actually stepped in almost knee-deep when I slipped off a rock trying to get those lol...luckily I had my waterproof boots and spats so no harm done :) I'll post up some of the other ones tomorrow., of some of the other vehicles there.

To finish up 2023 we took a short weekend wheeling/camping trip out to West Virginia, which was one day of great weather (50s even up in the mountains) and one day of torrential rain (but still warm). This one had some great trails and scenery, good primitive camping (if not a bit muddy), and a...

Last trip of 2023 - Central West Virginia, Dolly Sodds, Blackwater Falls, Canaan Valley, and surrounding areas. To finish up 2023 we took a wheeling/camping trip out to West Virginia, which was one day of great weather (50s even up in the mountains) and one day of torrential rain (but still...

Hah, nice! Your turn!

Good timing to see this, as I'm doing my first cold winter camping trip this weekend. Thanks!

Post a picture of your rig(s) with an emergency vehicle. Bonus if Santa is also in the pic.

I have a 7' sleeping platform inside (with passenger seat pulled out), and a 6' awning + room on the side, but usually I'm just using the little tent and smaller rear awning for camping...

And my other one, which is more for rally racing support but I do sometimes camp out of it...

nice! The guy who leads most of our trips actually has a Montero Sport as well (I forget what year) that he also uses for stage rally Sweep. He's slowly building it up, but it's quite capable even stock-ish with good tires.

Thanks, and fully agree. The old rigs are fun to see around, and don't weigh in at 6k lbs like some of the geared-up Tacos I wheel with. Plus when you have a 60k$ truck (or more) you have to be more careful (unless you're rich).....this one I love that I don't have to worry about dents or...

Next weekend heading out to the mountains with friends to do some (possibly snow) wheeling/exploring/hiking and camping. Not really sure how the weather will shake out - cold for sure, but TBD if snow, rain, wind since we'll be up in the Appalachians so decided to go back to one of my earlier...

Remembered today that I need to address the PS belt. Last time out on the trails it was slipping pretty badly once it got wet and was noticeably loose. So took a few minutes today to put a new one on and tension it properly (and a new AC belt while I was at it). While in there, I noticed my...

Suspension day! The tired original springs/torsion bars have done their job, but time to get something that gives me a bit more clearance and load-carrying ability so this thing isn't stanced out when I'm carrying all my gear. Rear install was pretty easy - just unbolt the shocks and the...

Thanks, do you have a build thread as well? Always looking for ideas!

Just to finish up that project, did the rest of the wiring tonight, and hid it all better. In addition, I added a second yellow/white flood over the rear door, which will be nice for camping and loading/unloading stuff at night. So now I have two... Incidentally, I noted once again that the...
