I just like to travel - with or without a vehicle. As long as I have the time and resources to travel to some unique places, I am more than happy. If that makes me an expo wanker fine. I'm ok with that. But I am not sure what has turned me into an "expo wanker". Because I went to Iceland and Newfoundland-Labrador and drove around?
Garrett, You're going to a show-and-shine car show 2,500 miles away from home. If that does not make you a wanker, I don't know what does. I'm sure you'll be highly entertained checking out all the bathroom tents, expedition vans, and fold out awnings.
Dan I think you know that your copy cat JSQ truck is more "expo" than anything I drive.
Funny how you have to make things up to attempt to make a point. The only thing the same between my truck and Jack's in the year/make/model/color and the Hella lights. Everything else is completely different. Springs, shocks, sliders, front bumper, rear bumper, winch, rack, tires, lockers, gears, complete interior...are all different. There is noting copy-cat about the two trucks, they're totally different.
All those Pelican cases, sweet Snow Peak gear the XD rack for all those worldly trips you take via the highway. Thing is I don't think there's a problem with that - you do.
I have a problem with that? If I had a problem with pelicans, snow peak, and roof racks, why would I own them?
My daily driver is a 2007 Tacoma with a lift, KM2s, bumper, winch and sliders. It's a training truck, not some trail queen with cool lights and fridge in the back to store my leftovers from Red Lobster.
First, your truck is more of a rental than a daily driver; it's not even yours. I'm not even sure if you even own a vehicle, do you? You should think about getting a 1990 Mustang 5.0 GT because that would look really nice next to your rental.
Second, I found your truck online.

..and I guess the "trail queen" comment was a stab at me. But everything on my truck I use. I used the lights last night and again this morning; actually, I use them all the time on a weekly basis. I'm glad I dropped the extra $$ on quality lights because they're a really nice tool. Same with the fridge, I use it all the time. I can't remember the last time I even turned it off, it's been months. It's a great tool and I'll always have one. I'm actually thinking of getting a second Engle for the LR3 because we use it so much.
PS: I did talk to Scott a few times about bumpers, etc. He's been helpful. I just got off the phone with some other folks at Overland Journal/Expeditions West about an event in June in NC we'll likely be working.
LOL, I bet that will be a sweet "event".
Come on, Garrett, lets got get that Toyota dirty. Has it ever even been dirty? Have you even used 4wd in it yet?
