Here she is more recently; illustrating proper trailer geometry to the unwashed masses.
Note the blank front wing. I've got wings for snorkels, as well. Also, it's on the load springs in this picture, and the factory bumper had been reattached for a while, as I'd been trying to decide what I wanted back there permanently.
Now I'm fitting a Greg Davis bumper. I expect that one will remain installed forever. I can't really think of any reason I'd want to remove it. It's light, simple, and doesn't look too out of place.
Thanks Greg. I've always wanted one.
You've got to remember, I live in a warehouse. I suffer no shortage of space. That in mind, if I'm not planning to use something for a while, I remove it. There's no sense hauling around a bunch of parts and wearing out shocks and bushings prematurely.
Again, note the simplicity. This may not look like much, but it's a vehicle ready to tackle the world, if not some of the trails you guys wish upon yourselves. As I've noted before, I'm outclassed in those conditions.
That's what an "overland" vehicle looks like. It's light (for a DII), nimble (until I wrapped Goodyears around the wheels), and isn't a stickered-up, blinged-out target that makes you look like a fucking prick when passing through villages.
I hate seeing that.
Being visibly geared up all to hell, as if you're "roughing it" in a "survival situation", is a pretty dickish move when your vehicle is parked next to a bunch of happy kids drinking Coke.
Cheers,
Kennith
