Its good to watch and sounds nice but its typicaly american (without wanting to insult) right boot down hard and loads of money... :ohmy:
That said tho those axles/wheels/tyres have got to take some extreme punishment and must be dam near indestructable

One of the best around in the UK has been the mitsimog but compared to these buggies its old hat heavy under powered just another nail in the coffin for grass roots motorsport.

If I'm not mistaken the mitsimog is up for sale again :blink:

It is yes. And I have never understood what the fuzz is all about with that vehicle. It must be insanely heavy and very underpowered. A Mitsubishi equipped with lots of expensive parts.. I have never seen a vid of it that convinced me it was/is a winning truck.

I reckon you're right Maverick, and with front and rear lockers you could manage quite a bit without a winch!

I have often thought that a Jimny with a decent set of axles from a Yota or similar and good winches front, rear and centre could trounce the UK Challenge scene.

Davecc's machine will be interesting when done.
