Not bad - certainly different.

Very well built too, nice and clean/tidy with attention to detail.
I wonder what Mitsubishi ute its actually based on....? Couldn't hear a turbo either.

whats up with the axles?

Hi,
i wondering about that suspension setup of that great 4x4.
The back shocks are very nice with the ram extension on the side of the shock.
It works like changing the top mounting of the shock to different hights.
But the front ram just compress/extend the front shock.
How are the front shocks working with compressed/extended ram?
Are they useless so far the ram is not on float?
Why isn't he using the same system in the front like in the back?
Thanks
Chris

That seems pretty typical for "extreme" UK offroad use. That will be on private property - typically old mine/quarry sites.
Interesting that the Triton cab doesn't seem to have lasted long.
I do think it's turbocharged - There's a hint of wastegate noise. Just because it doesn't whilstle doesn't mean it's not turboed.
I agree it's an awesome piece of engineering but I can't help but think it's a heavy piece of overkill for that sort of terrain - something that weighed 1/3 of what that does with maybe a 35" tyre would murder all its hydraulic trickery in that mud.
It also seems to bear out a theory that the more you have to play with, the worse you are as a driver (in general) IMHO the driver was making a meal of that terrain - not driving in a fluid way at all. A lower COG and less to stuff around with would have to be more effective.
Just my 2C, but I do wish my junk had that much time and effort in it.
