SCORPIO OFFROAD - Roothy's excited!

https://roothy.com.au SCORPIO OFFROAD - Roothy's excited! The 2023 Mahindra Scorpio has a drive-away price of either $41,990 or $44,990 depending on specification level but that's only until June 2023 when prices will no doubt climb to where they should be. This four-wheel-drive wagon has three rows of seats, including captain's chairs in the second row too, a great diesel motor and is definitely right up there with vehicles like Toyota's Prado and Fords Everage in most ways and better in many too. It's tough and fast, shorter than the competition which makes for less room in six seater mode up the back but it has a proper low-range transfer case and a rear locking diff. Mahindra's aren't that well known in the Australian market but they're really starting to kick some assss... check out what Roothy reckons, he's become a bit of a Mahindra fan after settling on a Pik Up ute for his personal traveller. Fact is anybody who has a go at these vehicles hasn't actually driven one yet. They're very surprising performers.

CUSTOM 4WD TIPS

https://roothy.com.au Looking for some ideas for your 4WD? Back in the good old days - maybe not that long ago - we had to do everything from scratch to suit the job. I always enjoyed this and learnt heaps from people like the builders of these incredible vehicles - six of the best in my mind. An awesome 80 Series Toyota, a Defender and trailer, a couple of comp trucks, an insane supercharged 100 Series Toyota, an extra tough XJ Cherokee and one of the coolest GQ Patrols you’ll ever see.

FOAM OUT on a 55 SERIES

https://roothy.com.au Something different here from way back in 2009 - I was driving a 55 Series Petrol up Stockton Beach when we got hit by a massive foam out.

JEEP - DOUBLE LINE RECOVERY

JEEP WRANGLER - Roothy's pick for best standard 4WD, off road, when you borrow it anyway.... JEEP - DOUBLE LINE RECOVERY Fortunately for us Robert and Rosemary Clark at Levuka, that beautiful bit of north coast hinterland a few minutes out of Urbenville, were happy enough to let us come and drive their tracks. Levuka, like all the state forests, national parks and other places the team had been trying, was technically shut to the public but the Clarks are old time friends and knew the benefits of doing a DVD in such lousy conditions. See, they're as keen as us that people know some of the techniques for handling flooded country and doing a DVD at Levuka, where the rain had been falling all month, would definitely give us that chance! https://roothy.com.au Facebook: https://ift.tt/m0ryhXJ Twitter: https://twitter.com/roothy4wd?lang=en Instagram: https://ift.tt/MYIifTP Pinterest: https://ift.tt/iYTdzqR Tumblr: https://ift.tt/itebwGy #roothy #roothy4wd #milo2 #terraintamer4wd #maxtrax #frontrunneroutfitters #lanotec #outbackaccessoriesaustralia #blackduckseatcovers #penriteoil #thebushcompany #smartautomotivesolutions #xrox #browndavis #uniden #borntoraom #frontrunneraustralia #toyota4x4 #landcruiser #fj40 #40series #builtnotbought #redarc_electronics #maxtraxhq
