The good ole days, but where are the LR's?

The good ole days, but where are all the LR's ?

How things have changed. No seatbelts, car seats.... These 4x4's are actually pretty stock, just like the cars people would drive daily?
No radical buggies here.. All mods probably could have been bought through JC Whiney

..enjoy

I love it!! Apparently, gone are the days where you could rock whitewalls (even wides!) while wheelin' and still be cool. And if you're worried about your kid getting hurt - just tell him to wear that cheap plastic batting helmet.

[Tim Smith]

Nice find!

[Boston]

Some one has to ask...are the sheep dooable?

[JackIIA]

Sweet!!! I love that 1967 bronco. And who would have thought that my GI Joe jeep was such an accurate toy. It was all metal and had the removable roof. I recognized it's bigger brother in the last video instantly. Thanks for the posting.

[disco2hse]

Extremely cool, and with George ThoroughlyExcellent, Steppenwolf. Yup. :cool:

And hows the whitewalls in Vol 3. Oh and let's not overlook the yellow polka-dotted bikini :D

[TJR]

Thanks Tim SMith.. I too got it to work.!
I just saw a stickey on it too! I'll remember that from this point on!

No worries. I hope this won't be the most important info you get from the RN forum.

Yes i much prefer the yellow bikini over the first option, but i love the dog in the back of the pick up with the sun shade hung from poles in the stake pockets! amazing!!! :thumb-up::thumb-up::thumb-up:

[Tim Smith]

2x Yellow Bikini.

How about that Scout that just lead the trail up the ravine? And what was with the low profile tires? Is it a Terra Del Sol thing or just a sign if the era?

Great videos anyway. Thanks! :thumb-up:

haha yep. I notice she got quite a bit of screen time from when she was first noticed :D

I wondered about taking the Chevy Stepside pickup down there. :sly:

[Moose]

What's with all the tow bars mount of the front of these jeeps? Can they not make it home on their own after the event? :p

Great clips though and some nice trails.

Can they not make it home on their own after the event? :p ...What I want to know is, how did they know where they were or manage being out on their own? I mean, none of them seemed to have GPS or cell phones. They must have been a pretty tough group to head out without any of the essentials. :rolleyes:

[gudjeon]

I like the fact that people could do proper tooling about in proper vehicles. Now, you would see all types of side by sides, ATV's and quads. Someone has everybody convinced that these toys are whats necessary as Redneck Gadgets.

Loving the old Bronc, too.:thumb-up:

[LaneRover]

I wonder how many folks see those videos and think, "I can't believe they went out to that area with such small tires!!"

I was actually surprised with the small amounts of footage that the girl in the yellow bikini got, why wasn't she in every video?

[gudjeon]

So it is true that they don't build them like they used to?:thumb-up:

I get a big kick out of driving past modern jeeps with V8's and monster mudder tires with my bone stock 47 CJ2A (flathead 4 cyl and 6.00x16 NDT tires) when they're stuck in a mudhole and I just keep chugging along. So much for modern "upgrades". :D

[gudjeon]

I have trundled on past many big tired rigs through snow with my 215's. I would use skinnier if I could get them (within reason). I have extricated many vehicles twice my rover's size in the snow.:D

[siii8873]

It looks to me like most of these trucks are essentially stock vehicles. No lift kits, huge tires,,..
BTW the truck leading up the ravine looks like a bronco to me. I'm sure a scout would have done just as well (better in my opinion I've owned each).

[gudjeon]

Its amazing where a stock, or near stock, will take you. If you are not in a hurry and drive with your brain and not your left foot.:thumb-up:

[LaneRover]

Trucks or girls in yellow bikinis?

[I Leak Oil]

I bet it's easier to find replacement parts for the girls in yellow bikinis...

[scott]

I bet it's easier to find replacement parts for the girls in yellow bikinis...

yep, they started making lift kits for them way before they were available for heeps, brokoes and doubts.

[ccec]

Looks like a postal convoy got misdirected delivering mail from Barstow to Vegas, with a few FJ's and Bronco's thrown in... Now take the bikini and the Guns N Roses and you have the makings a fine beer ad!!!

[gudjeon]

I'll let you decide for yourself which one Lanerover.;)

Well, they're both fun to work on - and both can be a pain in the ass. . .

BUt the old trucks don't mind you workin on or drivin other old trucks.

Though if you are into Old Broncos then the parts thing might be getting even better

And both have the capacity to make you poor just as quick.
