I'm a member of a FB group called Land Rover Discovery 2. Most of the members are in the UK. The shit they do to their trucks make shitter pipe snorkels and hood racks down right refined.
And since when is simply removing the rear bumper a "modification"?

Wow old Matt Tuckers really got his panties in a bunch. I don’t do Facebook so I had no idea there was a a Facebook group ban hammer. Kind of makes our ban hammer obsolete. That whole groups getting banned.

Don't forget the ever present "How much is my truck worth" Because Google is hard.

I'm on that group as well and it's tough sometimes. I don't understand when you post something for sale and you get 10,000 "likes". Why would you "like" a for sale post? Why would that be an option? "Wish you were closer "

That’s because all the guys driving them were the folks rocking Disco 1s that they would buy cheap, run until they rotted and failed an MoT, then transfer all their off-road kit to the next borderline rust bucket. The Disco 1s are basically too rare now and the DII is the next best cheapest LR alternative in mass quantities. Defender irrational exuberance has priced them out of 90s and 110s. You should have seen some of the trash mobile Defenders that used to drive around 14+ years ago. Most nowadays either look great or like real life Hot Wheels. Either way they’re too expensive.

Big on RTTs in the UK! America is overflowing with guys showing off their RTTs. Every damn built Toyota Tacoma pickup has a bed rack and a RTT running around town.

Driving around with a $1500 tent on your truck 365 days to camp 3 nights a year seems like a great investment. These things will go for cents on the dollar once this economy turns
One of my work buddies decided to "get into offroad scene" - and did it in a classic way. Bought himself a Tacoma, and bolted on exactly the same doodads as every other Taco in town, RTT and all.
Last time I heard from him - he was selling all of this junk.

Thats the problem with the "off-road scene." When you bolt shit onto a tuner car, or muscle car, or any car.. it gets better or more rewarding in some way to drive every day. When you keep bolting shit onto your pickup truck it gets worse and worse to drive.

what if you need a highlift jack on your way to work?
Have to admit to needing one once.
Ran too close to a bollard at a gas station, so it ended up pushing in rear quarter between the rear wheelwell and bumper.
Walked the rear end sideways using the hi-lift jack with the shackle in the hitch receiver.
