Mitsubishi Montero 3.2 DID – 2006

Bernd Schmidt is an off-road fan who learned about 4x4s and offroading in the Chilean sand dunes. He lives in Santiago de Chile, married w 2 girls and all of them love to travel, explore, learn about different places out of the common routes.

What modifications have you done for your 4×4 and what are your future plans?
Suspension lift with coil-over, ECU re flash, roof rack led bars, rear locker (my version came without) snorkel, 285/79/17 BF Goodrich KO II tires, 17” wheels w -12 offset and some other stuff

Next after money – what’s most challenging when lifting your 4×4 truck?
Because of the nature of my front suspension getting 2” or more becomes complex.

Where do you go wheeling and what is the terrain like?
I love sand dunes, Chile has a lot, 1.5 hours from home is Ritoque a nice spot and more to the north we have the driest dessert in the world.

Tell us about an interesting experience you had on the trail!
A lot, but the best is the share with others, everyone get in and all come out, that team spirit is unique.
