In this video I set out to attempt a pretty wild hill climb that I tunred back on last time I was there as it was raining and decided it’d be best left for another day. Little did I know I would run into some seriouse problems and end up needing to do some extensive mechanical work on the tracks to get back home.

First like
I have subie offroading videos on my channel
What a recovery!! Amazing! Is this a S-Edition with 5eat or XT with a 4eat? The latter one allows you to drive fwd only. The 5eat I believe not.
you have to see it to believe it. Man man man, super cool!
That Pajero nailed it up at the end, sounded Beast mode. Nice recovery, glad the guy who came to rescue you had his pants pulled up and we didn't get plumbers action
Good try, Monty. 🍿 Come back stronger, perhaps with a rear locker next time!
Great video mate
Onya Montosh, I liked, commented and subscribed. How do you think a Hyuandi I30 would handle this?
That’s a beast of a hill! And we’ll done on the recovery. Did you have a spare control arm to drive out? Also love the part just beforehand saying “hope I don’t break anything”! Hope Rallitek come to the party for you. 🔥
Looks like some fun wheeling
Fantastic video! That Subaru of yours is a complete weapon, but even the best cars get beaten by tough tracks sometimes. I loved the trolley jack, not sure I’ve seen one off road before. I reckon you chose it for portability😂 I’m looking forward to the trilogy!
Glad you kept your sense of adventure when you left WA!
Is that weakness a problem just for rallytech ones or genuines too?
Great episode. We already contacted at Insta about this issue.
Did you get the revised control arms?
How about your lift, did you lower the front subframe?
I'm running a 50mm lift and at the rear I installed a subframe lift as well.
But still thinking about the front, not very keen about the angle of the cv joints at the moment.
Why is it not locking the spinning wheel transferring drive ? My sh does this when traction control is on…. my car would drive str8 up that incline ( im confident on that) (( I think lmao 🤣 it's a pretty steep hill might eat humble pie?))
do you notice any brake fade? id be worried with all that down hill
Hey dude. Love your vids. I’m super keen to buy an xt…do you have a list of essential mods that you have done to your beast? Cheers man
Great vid mate
