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

Mahindra Ryebuck products - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au Ryebuck Products for Mahindra - Roothy After experiencing 4WD Industries/4AM type service and knowing Ben Robinson for over twenty years I've decided to go into partnership with them developing a premium line of aftermarket products for Mahindras. This clip explains things pretty clearly. I'm very excited by this development because I've grown to love my own Mahindra and I've always enjoyed playing with modifying vehicles. I've got pretty high expectations of off-road equipment and there's not much oif any real standard available for these superb Indian vehicles. I had a bunch of Ryebuck products I helped develop with Ben to do a final test on, which was that recent family outback trip last year - initially drawn up by the exceptionally talented engineer Zak Kubic utilising all our combined experience of Aussie conditions, we’d finalised the snorkel and exhaust designs, worked on a throttle position controller with Torqit, and fitted an under tray 80 litre water tank and side boxes from Gough Plastics up in Towsnville. We’d adapted a catch can to suit the Mahindra and I’d also fitted Mahindra’s after market suspension option, a 40mm lift with greasable shackles and fatter bodied EFS shockies. Result? Well, you saw it - very outback capable already but so much more to do! Bring on a Cape ready and relaxed Mahindra!

Rooth family's Mahindra outback camping trip.

https://roothy.com.au Rooth family's Mahindra outback camping trip. Righto, this clip is a bit personal - it's made up from pics and phone vision from a trip in September 2022 when my brother Nicko and his wife Cathy and Karen and I all cut loose for a few weeks of nights of stars and fires. I put it together mostly to show people how easy it is to go see the outback these days. It always has been I guess, it's just it suits some businesses to make our outback out like some incredibly tough place where if you don't have a twin double locked freezer with solar powered remotes or something you're going to be stuffed. Nope, just sticky tape the credit card to the dash and go bush ... or maybe a little preparation first....

MAHINDRA UPDATE - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au MAHINDRA UPDATE - Roothy Mahindra testing one year later! Righto, we've done a few things to our Mahindra Pik Up - still lots more to go! - and used it for what we intended a bit too this last year. It's only got 25,000km on the clock but we're really enjoying it. Anyway here's a clip that explains some of what we've done - and there's another on it's way that's got more details on the modifications, including the power upgrade, and my association with the new Ryebuck products that I'm involved with.
