By our very First BROTM winner, and our First BROTM repeat winner: @DesertChief
In this video you'll see a quick glimpse of a similar liftoff (~2:20) that scored @DesertChief his second BROTM win.
"There’s a lot you can do to minimize the chances of breaking down on the trail. Obviously, some things are out of your control when driving over unforgiving terrain, but prepping your vehicle before an adventure is something you can do to greatly reduce the likelihood of a mechanical failure."
"On this episode of Chasing Dust, Matt gives you a checklist of things to look for before your next adventure so you can spend more time enjoying the ride and less time working on it. Things such as topping off fluids, checking brakes, and cleaning your air filter are simple, but effective maintenance items we should all do before off-roading. But did you know that your shocks can leak oil too? Matt even talks about identifying bad driveshaft u-joints and how to properly inspect your tires for damage."
"We hope this episode gives you some ideas for things to look for before your next off-road trip, and gives you the confidence in hitting the trail in a properly maintained rig."
