Off Road Trails ...
These are some off road pics and 4x4 trails in Colorado and Utah. All of these offroad trails have been done in a late 1990's Montero Sport, usually at some level of modification, although often not much more then just 31” all terrain tires. The Montero Sport is a remarkably capable and durable vehicle in stock form. Some of the trails, however, do require a modified vehicle. Chinaman Gulch, Iron Chest, Silver Creek and Wheeler Lake trails stand out. Chinaman Gulch requires quite a bit of clearance and side guards at the least. Wheeler Lake is OK with skid plates and a few inches of lift up to Bowling Ball Hill. More clearance, side guards and A/Ts would be a minimum to go further. Iron Chest just requires – well, lets just say that you’re better off not even thinking about it. I would consider this trail for VERY modified Sports only – minimum 33’s, guards, non-stock skid plates and excellent driving skills. A locking differential wouldn’t hurt, either.
