I saw one on a tricked out Defender a few weeks ago. From what @Carson has said they aren’t legal 🤷‍♂️ Shame, as they do look cool.

Old IH Dump Truck, would love to see this restored.

48 week anniversary. 6650 miles. Maybe the third full decon, wash, and dry it's gotten this year. It could be the second. Overall average of 26 MPG with the All Terrains on 87 octane.

WTAF?

Couldn’t afford lowering springs. Lowered the body instead.

The refaced 2025 is terrible, planning to get one next year but might consider a 2024 for looks alone.

Yeah the front end is not great but much bigger infotainment screen, Sync 4, and you can get the hybrid in AWD now if that's your jam. And it seems they've got all the bugs finally worked out on the hybrid after 6 or 7 recalls. An XL hybrid AWD is like $31K.

Some colors look better than others.

Somehow I foresee the color bits surrounded by the headlights either disappear in 2026 or being painted black...

Did you get the towing package?

Do you take it somewhere or diy? My ride is in need of some attention including swirl removal from drive throughs.

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t acknowledge us heathens that use drive through car washes…

I have just the factory hitch receiver for $100. 2K towing max. FWD, Ecoboost and $26,000.

No, I did it myself. Iron X prewash then regular wash and dry.

If you're going to use car washes it's not worth paying for paint correction to remove the swirls.

Todays ride around Greenwood Lake, yes, it runs on the road

Couldn’t not notice this because of the color. Had HC plates and clearly spends all its time in the garage it was very clean.

The family and I were in Cape Town, South Africa over the Christmas break. Lots of neat cars and this only shows a few that I had time to take a picture of.


Our tour guide said there are a number of these Cobra replicas that get together for local drives. I remember seeing them for rent too.


Puma powered Defender 90 in the background.


Chinese made double cab? We were on a time crunch so couldn't get much more info on it.


Series Landy


Suzuki Jimny - There were a bunch of these in the Cape Town area. Not sure if it would be hard to make legal for the states but I feel like they would do well here.


Mitsubishi. I didn't get tired of seeing all the smaller 4x4 crew cab turbo diesels.



Fancy car.

It was here in the 80s, branded as the Samurai. Granted, MUCH different than the current one, would be interesting to see how it would do versus Jeep and Bronco (only including the main removable top/doors competitors).
