MAHINDRA BOGGED!!!  

G'day mate and thanks for watching. That thing sounds a beast!!! I think they show a lot of other 4x4's up lol. I was looking at mud tyres, but decided on all terrains as I drive a long distance of highway to work and back. Thanks again mate👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 they definitely do… I have the Ironman 2 inch lift with 350kg constant load rear leafs and it rides beautiful. Mine is a tub back with canopy. Ive got a big lockable toolbox and 900mm draws in the back. Onboard air with tank, dual 128Ah AGM batteries with 1000CCA, roof racks and basket with all the gear including side awining, , hi-lift jack, shovel and fishing rod tube with the recovery boards and shower awning on the rear canopy. 16” black steel rims with the muddys, got the dominator winch too… it can’t be stopped… although probably wouldn’t attempt gunshot with it lol…

Definitely set up well. And pretty capable. 👍😀

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Yeah I miss the bush, I grew up in country like that. I spent most of my childhood driving tractors and pulling logs through bushland out there. So I had no doubt that the mahindra would do just as good of a job as the old hj45 landcruiser that I used out they years ago.

Thanks mate. Like every vehicle manufacturer, they have there good reports and there bad ones. Our Colorado had its fair share of recalls, just like my mates hilux, triton, Ranger and Navara. So far from what I have herd from other mahindra owners they are a pretty solid ute. Thanks for watching mate, and stay tuned for our next video where the mahindra gets its new exhaust. 👍

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Definitely surprising a lot of people with it. Would be a great replacement for the luxy, and I'm certain you will enjoy it. Like most 4x4's sold, it does benefit from a lift and tyres. 👍

Certainly was mate and thanks for watching 👍

Tata tried selling 4x4's in Australia ages ago. It failed miserably. And I can see mahindra doing the same I'm they keep going the way they are.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Tata motors years ago was not doing good even in india. But since last 3 years, they have became favourites in SUV segment in india. Just check the cars they have launched in India lately. Very likeable and feature rich designs. Today's tata motors and earlier one is very Rumours has it that, Jaguar land rover designers have launched these new vehicles for Tata motors.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 That Tata motors and today's Tata motors are very different companies. Just check newly launched Cars from Tata like Tata Safari, Tata Harrier, Tata Nexon... They have completely changed the cars design. Very futuristic. Even they are now leaders in EV segment in SUVs,

G'day mate and thanks for watching. You are very correct about the price. There is no way a 79 series cruiser is 3 times a better 4x4, all because it's 3 times the price.

Thanks mate 👍

To be absolutely honest with you, I don't think it would have done aye better. The ground was so loose. Even with diff lock the mahindra struggled to get any traction, and I think even with mud tyres the cruiser would have just dug bigger holes. It was just to steep and loose. My brother used to drag timber through there with a dozer or his skidder. Thanks for watching mate 👍

Thanks mate 😀👍

G'day mate and thanks for watching. We have 2 EDS units. One is in the Colorado, and the other is in the mahindra. They both work extremely well and have had no issues with them at all. Hope this helps mate 👍

They certainly are mate. And thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate. Exhaust is booked in to get done on the 21st. I can't wait to hear how they sound.

Thanks for watching mate. Yeah the mahindra absolutely loved it. They are very capable off road.

G'day mate and thanks for watching. Yep, I do use them both to travel a long distance to work, but I always wanted to see the true potential of the mahindra in the bush. Mud tyres would be nice on the mahindra in certain places, but where we were on this particular trip it wouldn't have mattered. Lol it was just so soft under foot.

Thanks for watching mate. Unfortunately no they don't except for the standard traction control.

G'day mate and thanks for watching. We are in Queensland Australia.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Thank You Graham.

The diff lock is an auto locking one. It cuts in and out as it needs to. Most of the time you don't even feel it cut in. It's made by EATON so it's built well. 💪 thanks for watching 👍

Yep, going in to get the exhaust done next Friday the 21st. And get the snorkel measured up. I can't wait. 😀

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Hey Mate.. Can you see what sort of a deal he can do for both. I will arrange to come up for the day and have both snorkel and exhaust done.. Please let me know.

Copy that mate, I'll ask him tomorrow while he's doing my exhaust.

G'day mate and thanks for watching. I think the M hawk is good value for money. But for me personally I liked to make mine different to others. It all comes down to personal taste. I liked the idea of customising to my own needs and price. Which ever way you go you will be happy with it. I hope this helps mate👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 yeh, Im thinking along the same lines. I don't need all the fancy wheels etc. Is it the exact same motor in both utes? Also, how is lumbar support on a longer trip? Thanks for getting back to me.

Yeah mate, it's the same engine in all of them. As for comfort, I drive mine over 400km just to go to work. And it is perfect for long drives. 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Thanks again

No problem 😀

Thanks mate. Yeah I believe you should know the limitations of your 4x4. That way you have a better understanding of whit it's capable of doing, and more importantly of what it won't do. No one like to be stuck or broken down because you didn't know if your 4x4 would make it. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks mate. But I did go negotiating offset rims. They are neg 13.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 have you teated mahindra in snow? I have just driven in snow. It needs weight on rear and less tyre pressure. No idea which tyres to go with thin or wide profiles..🤔

No I haven't, I'd assume you treat it just like sand, Less tyre pressure and wide tyres to float on top maybe.

Thanks. And thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 🙏

They certainly are. Mahindra is an awesome 4x4. Thanks for watching, and please share my RU-vid channel with your friends 😀 👍

Especially over here in Australia. The mahindra is on average $20-30,000 cheaper then the mainstream 4x4's.

I actually bought mine from a dealership that was about 300km from home so the first bit was a good distance with varying speeds. After that it was a couple of shorter drives of about 50- 100km to town and back.

Thanks for that

No problem, and thanks for watching 👍

Looking forward to when your exhaust is updated and you fit the snorkel I’ve been reading a 2.5” straight through works well

Yeah same here. I'm booked in this Friday to get a 2.5inch mandrel bent system for the dpf back. And a quick measure up for the snorkel. I will be doing a video of the before and after of the exhaust and hopefully a camping trip with the toy hauler and mahindra towing the boat.

Thank you, and thanks for watching 👍

G'day mate and thanks for watching. In single cab form it would be more than capable. I would definitely throw some better suspension under it as the standard stuff is more set up for comfort then actual weight carrying. But the chassis is built strong and is definitely capable.

Thanks for watching. But no thanks, I'm not going to wear a seat belt in the bush.

Yep I agree mate. But unfortunately I drive over 800km to work and back each week on highway roads. Mud tyres wear out way to quickly compared to A/T tyres. So it isn't feasible for me to put mud tyres on the mahindra. Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback 👍

G'day mate. It's what we call wallum country. It's where the water table sits just below the surface in large pockets. You can be driving along, and then just punch straight through the surface in to the water saturated ground underneath. It can be really deep, and sometimes you literally have to wait for the ground to dry up before you can attempt to get out. And then can take weeks. On the way out of that paddock we were sinking 4 inches through the actual wheel tracks we made going in there! We only just made it out to the main track.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 wow! It’s like a sink hole 🕳, isn’t it. Fascinating! Seeing it for the first time.

I have seen it where 6 vehicles including 3 tractors and a bulldozer were booked trying to get one 4x4 out of the mud. They had to wait 3 weeks for the ground to be dry enough to get a recovery happening.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 😳

Lol....mate I agree with you, but apparently it's all the rage at school now😄

They are a lot wider then the standard tyres. I like the mud tyres I have now, compared to the all terrain tyres I had in that video. Thanks for watching 👍
