Really like the look of this model,they have the durability that Mitsubishi offers. Maybe not a hard core expert 4wd, but definitely a tough truck !!

Don't sell your little Challenger short !
I can attest to how robust and capable they are. One of our group has one , an auto, it has done the Simpson desert Birdsville to Mt Dare,in Victoria comfortably traversed Burgoines Track, forded the McCallister when she was up, has been into the Wonnangatta Valley and Davies High Plains NE Victoria.
That little vehicle towed a vehicle trailer with my old GQ patrol on board fully laden back from Omeo to Frankston a couple of Easters ago when the head went while up on the Davies High Plains.
The modifications Bobby has made are
2" lift
Cooler for the Auto Transmission ( he suggests a fan assisted one )
Snorkel (airflow make one )
Rear wheel carrier,for a 2nd spare for the desert run, mob in South Australia make one for it
Has 16" Cooper ST's on it (had rims built for it )
Aluminium Bull Bar
Long range tank
Drive it with pride, it is a great little machine
Happy Trails
