Exactly; some people use shit and some people don’t. Seems like there’s room in the thread for honest appreciation of people going and getting some instead of pure disdain. If not, this thread is gonna get tired quickly....Quote:

Didn’t read the whole thread but this is an easy win for Boulder mags. I see at least half dozen high-point trucks at school drop off every morning, then another half dozen on the 5 mile drive home. Toyota and Lexus are the GOTOS of choice around these parts.

Carbon vinyl wrap??
It’s a pvc drain pipe rack. For twelve hundo??.
If the shit looks like it gets used, or at least has been used, fine. But pristine implements on a built vehicle without a scratch or even any dirt on it deserves a call out.
for the record, the bucket seats, console and shifter make Porsches a less than optimal place to get yer dick sucked.

Quoted for truth, however persistence on the passenger side can lead to success. Know what else causes trouble? Freeway construction. True story, I was cruising across the salt flats on the way to wendover for an autocross in my old mr2 turbo, and despite the bucket seats, large center console (hehe) and stick shift, my passenger was doing great. Just fantastic, when things took a turn for the worse. Freeway construction! Cones appeared out of nowhere, lane narrowed onto the rumble strip and shoulder. Lane shifts, cones, ack. Fail.Quote:

I guess I don't get what the problem with a box on a Porsche is. Fast fun car to drive, ya got a box for when you ski, take it off when yer back home.
Neighbor of mine a long time ago would mount the ski rack on his car in November, go skiing once in the winter, and take the thing off in May. moron
Hmm, I would assign it 1 point for the chunky tires/lift, 1 for the brushguard, 1 for the roofrack over the cab, and 1 for whatever that is hanging on the back. It does seem more a Gorp in the Truck or Sprinter rather than Gorp on the Truck or Sprinter though.Quote:

Oh man, sorry about that. I underestimated your points substantially! :)Quote:

You know, I thought there was a mercedes benz logo buried behind the winch. But I believe you are right. A Mitsubishi! Couple driving looked to be in their 60's. Flip flops all-aroundQuote:

MTT - Were spare tires showing on the back? That seems to be standard configuration, then the boxes & cans get added behind those. But with all of that, you have to put bikes, yaks, etc on the roof. Which on that popup roof, presents its own set of challenges and cost.
I think you can still pick up a base FX (incl GORP) for less than $300K.Quote:

Here's a gallery of the interiors. https://earthcruiser.com/vehicles/earthcruiser/
Seems a little more cramped than a tiny house.
They are coming out with a camper mounted on an F350 (or comparable GM or Ram) chassis.
