We loved our 2001 Mitsubishi Montero. It never failed us and got us places that we couldn't believe. Not too bad for an $8,000 Ebay leap of faith! Eye of the Whale Trail, Arches National Park, Utah.
Vehicle-supported remote overland travel with two 14-year old daughters.

Mountain Meadows, Magruder Corridor, Idaho.
Roads? We don't need roads. Open range south of Dillon, Montana.
After we realized how well the Montero worked, I did extensive surgery on her to improve her offroad abilities. Big Sheep Creek National Backcountry Byway, Beaverhead County, Montana.
NF 21, Warren Wagon Road, near Steamboat Summit, Salmon River Mountains, Payette National Forest, Idaho.
If it were easier to get parts here in the states I would have kept this great rig.
