Ha Ha , I reminder the "Slimy Gutter Trucks" were the skyjacked 8 to 12" lift trucks running tractor tires, if they got more than a 3 Degree side tilt, over they would go! To each their own, jhst be safe out there....

Don't worry the next craze is just around the corner and his rig will be up for sale. I lived through vans, "Monster" trucks, lowered mini trucks, sport compact cars, etc. I remember when the Ford Escort GT was the hot car to have and fix up. I helped build trucks that would spray sparks over bumps because they were so low. The 80's were great time.
I am all for the posers buying stuff, it fuels the market and we get good stuff because there is money in it. I have tried to pursue hobbies or things that were not popular and it is frustrating, there is just no support. And don't forget to thank Instagram, without the social media frenzy much of this stuff we have would not be made.

Unfortunately though everything becomes polular again. Kids are dressing like it is the 80s again using lingo etc. Just like everything else its cyclic down south the mini trucks and monsters didnt go anywhere my cousin in beaumont has been driving a s10 with a viper engine since the mid 90s and ive got a few buddies who still play in the mud with their big trucks yearly at rednecks with paychecks events and other bounty hole events in the south. I was raised around drag and offroad racing and have had fun with about everything with a motor. Im as white as can be heck could even be called a redneck but id still drive a 69 impala lowrider with hydraulics given the chance. Either invite the dude out on the trails or hold your tounge and laugh to yourself about it. Im sure it wont matter to him
sometimes its not so much about being "fake" as it is fitting in. i'm spending the holidays in texas and will be dressing accordingly....

I'm new to the site and the lifestyle if that is what this is, a lifestyle, and I have read in numerous places and heard on many u tube videos that
" its not the destination, its the journey" and that is what makes it over landing. Weather that is true or not I don't claim to know but what I am realizing hear is
If I "overland across Labrador and have a feeling.. whatever feeling that may be, If I drive whatever I drive and have that same feeling as I go to a local store or work, am I not over landing? Its the journey , the feeling.
Driving through Cartwright Labrador I felt I was over landing but the car behind me was commuting to work or visiting a friend, we were both on the same road, but I was overlanding and they were commuting,
My point, Lets wave and support our fellow overlanders weather they are in a corrola with a roof rack or a decked out defender from who knows where or a clean Tacoma with a fancy front bumper ...... wait that's me... anyway it 2:22 am and I'm babbling on but my point lets support each other and not judge, please.
Thank you.

I got to my Christmas destination after a 14 hour trip and it definately did not feel like overlanding it felt like work the kind of work that you dont enjoy like working for walmart or mcdonalds. My truck looks like i was overlanding but i definately was not.
