    That really needs some traction boards strapped to it!

    Along those lines I saw one of these last week on the highway with a matching trailer. It was on a trailer, looked kinda fun. If not this it was very similar.

    Edit: Found it! https://www.morris4x4center.com/body...a-tj-4322.html
    Seems very unnecessary given that the fender flares would have been ripped off long before that "body armor" gets to do its job.
    Yeah I guess I’m not up to speed either on that stuff. My guess is you rip the glass fenders but the guard protects the tub. Maybe if there are tight trails with like rock faces or trees angled in tough spots. Sure looks like it hasn’t been tested much lol but hard to blame em on what’s probably a daily.

    I DD’d an 81 CJ and it was like always this balancing act of not fucking shit up but still wheeling. not because you had to complete the trail but because you needed the fucker to get you to school and work.

    Also, the earliest you could buy a disco in the US was 94/95. . The original 200tdi used for Camel Trophy was not even legal to import until most recently.

    In any case, roverlanding has been a thing for decades, so this doesn't count IMO. Sweet disco though!
    Good eye thanks for the write up Jax.

    I dig the attention to detail; in retrospect the biggest give away for me should have been the side moulding. Though I’m surprised I noticed the snorkel.

    I have a soft spot for race/movie/TV replicas.

    Always wanted to do Brody’s K5 Amity PD truck.

    Some dude with some bucks did make that happen sure he wasn’t the first.

    You could distribute power bars and condoms through less traveled countries with a rig like that. And others would pay for it. #savetheplanet

    Most are starting at the west end at loon lake and coming out next weekend on the west shore.

    Some seriously impressive purpose built rock crawling rigs and some gotos pousers being spotted through the entire ride as not to scratch their shiny paint.
    Collecting points will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
    Anything that makes it through the Rubicon is pretty legit.

    The only qualification for GOTOS is that you don’t take that shit off after the event.
    Let me lock in the system at Warp 2
    Push it on into systematic overdrive

    Off the scale.
    Where do you even get someone to weld a rack that long?

    And bonus points for the shitty canoe paddle!

    Nothing you can't handle with a shitty paddle, a broom, and a rake.

    I'm so torn on that one.^ On one hand, it is beyond category. But on the other, it clearly was not motivated by fashion - like negative style points. Some trashed out tarps? A custy metal leaf rake and a broom? Street tires on the truck? Stuff that appears.....to be used.

    I don't know what to do with it.

    Edit: He has an umbrella. In a world of mechanized $3k awnings... he has a beach umbrella w/ bungees.

    I also spy an axe - double bladed!
    There’s gotta be a wood-handled shovel in there somewhere!
    I think those might be ATVs under the tarps…

    This is the anti-GOTOS

    ETA - the shovel is strapped upright behind the broom.

    It’s a work truck that gets double duty (as they should) for play.

    Just a single fucking shovel.

    Just. Fucking. Because.

    This is purity of GOTOS.

    Sublime.

    Never taken off.

    Always U-bolted on.

    God dammit.

    The Ubolts has to be some kind of super multiplier right?

    I see no reason that they could not have flipped the shovel over, and had the printing upright.

    Bugs me worse than the half removed label.

    Shovel is digging in to the paint on the roof, which is probably where the digging starts and ends...

    Is it just me or is the idea of strapping all this plastic stuff to the exterior of your vehicle a horrible idea?

    Are the traction plates really so UV stable that they can sit on your vehicle all year and still be useable when it comes time to drive on them?

    IME - even “UV stable” plastics don’t last very long when exposed to day in and day out weather and sun.

    I also find it interesting that on balance the Australians seem to have gone the other direction with 4x4 style. Much more oriented towards having stuff in an enclosed space with dedicated, custom boxes to replace pick up beds, etc. They certainly have stuff on the outside, but not nearly as much as this current trend in the US.

    On the other hand…

    I spent 6 hours with the kids in the car to go camping last weekend. Any tips on mounting a car seat to a bumper or roof rack so I don’t have to listen to the whining? My Subaru is dark blue, so please consider a matching color scheme in your submission.

    Consider trading in the Outback for an old Brat. I'm sure your logic is PRECISELY what the Subaru engineers were thinking at the time. BRILLIANT! Had a friend growing up whose family had one and we thought it was SOOOO much fun to ride around back there. Ah, the 80s.

    Do they make those in a hitch mount?
