Description
What happens when you hand two young blokes each a $10,000 budget and tell them to buy 4WDs capable of tackling tough tracks?
Chaos! Surprises! And some seriously questionable decisions, thats what!
For the very first Mad Mates Budget Build Series, Matt and Lucas throw the rulebook out the window and put their fate in the hands of Tyler (Lucas’ son) and Connor (Matt’s nephew).
The rules are simple:
🔧 $10,000 total budget, buy and build
🚙 Buy a 4WD… sight unseen
💰 Whatever money is left gets spent on repairs and mods
🤝 No interference from Matt or Lucas
Matt cops a major shock when he sees his new rig, while Lucas ends up with something way better than he ever expected.
The lads then meet up at The Springs 4x4 Park to reveal their new rigs to each other and give them both an offroad shakedown!
Can a sub-$10K 4WD actually wheel well?
Or are these rigs about to embarrass their new owners on day one?
This is Mad Mates — honest, fun, and telling it how it is.
👇 Drop a comment and tell us:
Who got the better rig – Matt or Lucas?
