Nope, that's in Utah but she's been to Baja, that beach doesn't ring a bell though.

I think those come stock so not an “add-on”.

Taking another swing at this game since my first effort fell flat.

Very clean for a VT vehicle in the Spring, oversized bumpers, rooftop rack with RTT, awning, oversized yellow fog lights, extra shackles, bully bar, & snorkel.

Acceptable entry?

If that was mine, that step would have been bashed off a long long time ago.

Maybe it's an option at the dealer when you buy it, or maybe it's aftermarket, but I don' think it's stock on all sold Discoverys.

I'm just making fun of how small it is, not trying to get points here. once you stand on the bumper I don't think you need to go up a rung or two to reach the top unless you are so small it would help and then you can't reach the pedals to drive the thing and the whole thing is moot.

I climbed on a bunch of those when I was a kid. It was fun to sit on the roof. Given the moms who drove them I doubt it was anything but from the factory.

Thanks. I met the dissent guy a few years ago. He used to live 10 minutes from me. It looks like he moved. He was willing to cut me a deal on an immediately available front bumper but it was WAY too much $$ for me. He had a lot of really cool projects in his yard at the time. Looks like he’s succeeding!

Damn, within 24 hours my cute ladder shot is dethroned.

Good luck taking down a heavy box from the roof with both hands and going backwards on that ladder. Looks like you can reach everything without it, just open a door and stand in the car for height.

had that step on my 98 Disco. it was the 1st thing i removed. That ladder is only useful for using a scrubber on the roof in the wash bay.

The rear facing LED bar confuses me the most.
I kind of dig a Renegade built out like this. GOTUS Gladiators and JLs are too common!

It is very overkill, gotta keep with the theme right?! But reverse facing lights are nice for setting up camp in the dark, and, um, reversing.

The renegade could be a cool dirt road cruiser, if it wasn't such a POS.

I saw what appeared to be a lifted Prius with a roof rack and one of those solar shower things or and awning yesterday.

Even had some aggressive tires on it.

could've been a cool vehicle if they would've kept the Patriot body. those AWD systems are pretty good compared to today's standards of normal SUVs.

Anyone seen one of these in the wild? Came through in an email from Toyota that I thought for sure was a spam/parody email. Very meta to tow this with your tricked out Tacoma. Attachment 374487

The Patriot and Compass trace back to the Dodge Neon and Caliber - - homegrown pieces of shit.

The Renegade pictured is based on the Fiat 500 - - imported piece of shit.

Damn, I kinda want one of those pressurized shower tubes, good idea. And an awning.

Should I go flog myself now?

Certainly nothing could ever go wrong with all the moving parts on that set up . . .

With the price of construction material, go get one of those Nemo sun showers you can pump pressurize instead. Pretty key for the "high maintenance" rafters and overlanders.

I think I've finally figured it out. GOTOS is this generations version of the Harley Davidson.

Core image owned almost exclusively by fat dentists with money to burn.

At Bachelor they had (b4 pandemic) a vanathon event in the spring. Forget what they called it. Ran the gamut from land yachts to homemade hovels on wheels.

Tap, can I get a ruling here? Should we get extra points for vehicles with big ass chrome rims overlanding? I feel like that's worth more than 1 or 2 points.

Also, I'm a bit disappointed the hilift is not mounted on the caddy hood.

GOTOS cannot be unhitched.

GOTOS must be on primary vehicle.

In GOTOS van world, I look up to this guy. Just bought two shirts from him today even though I'm a fat dentist poseur. I'm eventually going to get a mural done on my van too.

He produced a van meet last weekend, I would have killed to go to it.

My brother a non mag got the pic today. I guess I need to introduce him to the license plate thread too. I didn't even catch that.

Where did your brother spot this? I saw that van at a pullout south of Cannon Beach, OR a week ago.
