    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.

          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.

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

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

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

                    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!

                      I wondered about taking the Chevy Stepside pickup down there.

                        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?

                        Great clips though and some nice trails.

                          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.

                            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.

                              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?
