So, are all of these things strapped down on the exterior locked somehow? I would think if one of those vehicles came through Portland it would be stripped clean by morning.

Right? Or any other big city worthy of the designator.Quote:

It might be a reminder to lock the bike when it's on that rack. If it's right there you can't forget easily.
I still love that you rallied and embarrassed the wife.Quote:

Great logic there, genius Sprinter driver.Quote:

Clearly.Quote:

I spied the this 16pt gem again and got a front view.Quote:

Apparently it’s a rental that some locals have as a business to honeypot the GOTOS wannabe crowd for $500/day. https://www.aspenjeeps.com
I’m guessing they’re making pretty good money with the shitload of people coming here. Bravo!
you been to whole foods lately? It can get dangerous...Quote:

What else?
Some of the stuff is hard to see, but below is what I spied back in May. There's a full size spare mounted up underneath the RTT on the rack/exoskeleton surrounding the truck bed. I think it's actually 14 w/ the 3pt wooden shovel, but the full body rhino liner paint job should count for something.Quote:

OK thanks for clarifying
we may have a new leader
Glad someone else thinks a firewood stash is worth points
OMFG that website just reeks of entitled doucheryQuote:

I think i would award another .5 point for the writing/graphics on top of windshield with another .5 possible if its about something to do with the rackQuote:

How's that 6" sidewall workin? Air it down often?

Or the skiing company charging you $1200/day for a private lesson+lift ticket+rental for sliding on groomers.Quote:

I have no problem with locals profiteering off of clueless rich tourons.
And their website has done a good job of marketing to these people. Reminds me of the vibe Talisker was trying to evoke in Park City
I loved the descriptions of the routes people could take in their hi-luxe Jeeps. Sounds like terrain I take my Outback regularly.
