Yeah well.... if people can do it with exhausts and tires on 3-door hatchbacks then it can be done anywhere, including SUV's and Trucks.....'Overlanding Industrial Complex.'

I've changed my entire outlook. I spent 5 years on Tacoma World. It was rough. I needed a 12 step group when I left. LMAO

Those vids are hilarious! Goes a long way splaining why we never see anyone anywhere ever. There is a local guy runs around in his new LR all decked out with stuff hangin all over it. Bumped into him one time and he sounded like the guys in the vid telling me all about his trip to a local St Forest, funny as s—t
Actually, this is what l enjoy about 'overlanding'. Stopping when l've done enough driving or staying as long as l like, if a spot/area suits me...no agenda. Drove my wife crazy, while l was traveling solo to Alaska. She wanted to know where l was going to be each day, trip charted out weeks in advance. Reality was...she got a call or text at the end of the day. Overlanding is just that...overlanding. Traveling over land...how you do it doesn't matter or what your reasons.

you can pretty much look at a person's vehicle and tell a lot about them since vehicles are basically an extension of their owners...
think about it...a loud exhaust vehicle is usually owned by a loud exhaust person that demand attention. a fancy pickup with a spray in bed liner that is kept immaculate is usually owned by a guy who doesnt do any physical labor and wont get dirty himself. people with lifted vehicles with tons of unused accessories bolted to them are going to be people that want to be capable of doing things, but lack the motivation/confidence to actually do them. dont even get me started on PT cruisers and EV owners...
so next time you are out traveling, find a person and watch them for a few minutes and then see what they drive. i judge people all the time and so far i have found that judging people on what they drive has been a very accurate and quick way to categorize people...

I like the thought behind it... but careful on being too judgemental ;-)
Sometimes circumstance and other hidden things can play a big effect too on people
Though I would agree that yes pretty much a lot of what people drive reflects their personality
Some would even break this down by brand eg. X brand over Y brand... say Ford vs, Jeep, vs Audi, vs BMW and so on....
But ultimately irrespective of what you *think* a person is like, it's better to be able to see if you can get on with them and they may just surprise you
It seems to happen a lot before marriage haha
Haha
The Tahoe is a nice SUV... from a few years back anyway. It was big and chunky and had more internal spec then you could find in most UK spec luxury models
I loved the Colorado Avalanche too (was that what it was called?)
When deciding on the "right" vehicle it rrally becomes difficult especially with the internet today...
I desperately need to replace my car with something that has high ground clearance and can handle irltself off-road
I just dislike everything sold locally as there's no big 4x4 market here...
Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter i fell in-love with but whatever i look at needs to be imported...
That probably is telling me i need to jump ship and move to another (more suitable) country
That's another thing and dont get me started... lol
When i approach support services to try to get help with my ASD and ADHD the first thing i tell them is "Overlanding" and Idaho and Alaska
Being heavily nationalistic they just really frown at me then push me away....
When people suck they sadly really suck... :-( :-(
