Episode 3: Maine Mitsfits Romp 2024

Our third visit to the Maine Winter Romp Range Rover event property with the Mitsubishi MitsFits pre-running the trails a few weeks before the main event. Our visit 3 years ago in 2021 was a special trip where many new friends were made that was featured in an early episode on the channel. Our visit last year along with our 2 Xterra buds Bill and Dave ‪@moodsofoverland‬ in 2023 proved to be a grueling ordeal of trail repairs and hours long multi winch recoveries in way below zero conditions. We were eager to get the good times rolling again this year and weren't disappointed! With a few stock and injured rigs I was very careful to not put us into trails with names like Kickass and Pit of Despair this year with a fresh set of a GPX files of the property to work with. A special thanks again to Eric and Tim of the MitsFits for the invite and to Bruce Fowler, for letting us wheel his gnarly property and for sending me the maps!

Nice! Well done, man. An awesome weekend, for sure!

[@Go4Lo]

Yes it was. Here's to many more. Now I'm going to finally finish my ECXC 2022 video!

[@DefiantOffroad]

That looks like a lot of fun! I've spent a lot of time wheeling in the snow, but never where I needed chains!

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Stompy lead the way! very cool video Pete thank you for sharing
those icy puddles looked pretty bad very thick ice

[@TreeLovinAdventures]

Looks like a great time. I have never wheeled with anyone using chains before.

[@Go4Lo]

I hadn't either but that's how they do it up here. Do what the locals do!
