Misubishis are good (shock horror)

Went laning with SWB Shogun and a L200 recently, was a couple of spots where i slowed thinking i'd have to recover the Shogy but it managed (only had crappy Yoko AT's), it only got stuck cos of its silly side bars on a bad crest, was highly impressed, the 3.5 V6 sounded lovely.

robbie:
Yeeh they are good and I totally agree that the side steps cause clearance difficulties. Take a look at my website below and go to the Yorks Dales section in the gallery to see where we took the Mitsie last year without a problem except for many scraping noises coiming from the steps.

The rest of the clearance is fine and she had loads of grunt for off roading.

Simon_Doc:
They ain't side steps, they're rock sliders / sill protectors! I have bent mine into all sorts of shapes. Jump up and down on the a few times and they're back into some sort of reasonable shape. With them you will ground a little easier however you just add it to the forward momentum to slide it that little way extra!
Jim,
Don't underestimate the Pajero / Shoggy as a toy. I have ended up pulling out Defenders that got stuck where I had just ploughed through before now.
I suppose most of it is down to driver competency really.

Regards,
Simon

Careful saying things like that, you'll have the Men In Black call at your door to destroy the evidence and wipe your memory  :wink:

I had underestimated it badly, it did well considering the rubbish tyres, A few weeks earlier a Jimny impressed me too, I'm having to scrap the old Jap C**p thinking.
