i have since seen you toobes of small chinese women changing tires on big rigs with just a pry bar
I’ve used a HiLift successfully a few times as was pretty stoked to have it. One time was above tree line and a thunderstorm/ snow storm was moving in. If we hadn’t got out when we did my buddy’s truck would have been there till the following June.
You generally need steel bumpers and sliders to really make them useful though. A shovel is a basic must have as is an axe.
Maybe we should market a lightweight aluminum HiLift replica that doesn’t actually have any moving parts. Keep the weight down while still peacocking around town.
Molded plastic.

Real question..is the earthcruiser close to the value of a house on the golf course in Missoula?
Also I may have just thrown up in my mouth a little....

Probably close to 50-60%. But, I highly doubt that it is theirs. More likely to be friends or relatives. Seems like I saw a roamer there a year ago.

Jesus. I could see taking that down to South America, however. Truly overlanding.
Yup made in Bend ORQuote:

Need some help with how we score some of this

I count:
Big ass bumper
Winch
Xtra points for shackles?
Big ass wheels/tires
Two red 5g cans - metal
Two black 10(?)g jugs - plastic
Orange tool box
Flat blade shovel
High lift jack
Axe (along rear)
Two more boxes
Points for spare tire on top?
Second shovel (spade)
Points for rear bumper shackles?
Subtract a point for lack of stickers?
Add a point for Utardia plates?
So somewhere between 14 and 18 points sound right?
sounds about right to me, though i'd lean more in the 17-18 range when whatever the fuck that hitch is is taken into account. that thing has gotta be worth a point or two.Quote:

I like the strap kids stuff to the roof idea to poke fun at them. I have a mini shovel, what would be a good fake traction board? Maybe a little playmate 12 cooler on the roof, could be hilarious at any stoplight on foothill drive.
sent from Utah.
hatchet and machete (although likely to get stolen)
Playmate cooler strapped down
Kiddy sand scoop or garden trowel
Maybe Barbie & Ken
Pull a Mitt Romney with a dog cage and stuffed dog on top.
Nice one TBS. But, on the other hand...facepalm.
Saw this yday, worth about 5

What are those two gizmos attached to the hood at the cowl? They don’t look like GoProsQuote:

Maybe some hot wheels track straightaway pieces mounted vertically along the back. Cause they are orange.
I have a little kids portable toilet too, hehe.

-1 for the white letters on the outside, so technically a 4, IMO.Quote:

I didn't look underneath it, sorry.
The CRV's probably actually pretty fun. Decent tires, a little lift, awd, why not? I'd cruise Forest Service roads in that. They could lose the bull bar.
Doesn’t Toyota make a RAV4 TRD now?
^ sounds familiar. Subie has the wilderness editions coming out for the outback and forester...Not a bad thing. Probably driven by the overland trend.
Yes. Compared to the other RAV4 models, it has a tiny bit more ground clearance, different trim and styling, nicer AWD system, but IIRC no hybrid available in that version. And costs nearly $40K.Quote:

FYI the ‘21s added front and rear skid plates.
Wish my phone camera wasnt shit. Saw prob 30 good ones in one parking lot in Bozeman. Including a pristine Raptor with every color rotopax, awning, rooftop tent, and the "cleanest" brand new bright red shovel. There may have even been plastic on the shovel.
*says the guy whose wifes runner would score pretty high....

Fuckin Hell... I need to get off the internets
If you win it and want to avoid looking like a poser, I'd be happy to put some miles and scuffs on it for a very reasonable fee.Quote:
