Proof that some of us can get along. Overlanding is the great bridge that unites us.

At least the Toyota will have someone to pull him out. . . :ylsmoke:
Just kidding. . . I agree more detente is a good thing. I remember when I switched from Jeep to a Land Rover, my Jeep friends took it personally. In the end the are all just vehicles after all. . .

Great pics 1911! Nice variety in your mix. I wish we had BLM land out here! I hate camping in National Parks.

My pic was taken at work, and the owner of that cruiser also has an immaculate FJ40, and a RRC, which he just sent off to have converted to a 300TDI. He's camping on the NC beach this weekend in that classic with his wife, and we were just group camping last weekend in the Pisgah national forest, where we got to meet up with Dendy and his family. It's really nice to gather with owners of other vehicles and be able to see all this different setups, and learn from each other about what's been tried, what works, what's in the works, etc.
It's like a little sample of Overland Expo out east.
The RRC is very much a real Land Rover. The RRC followed and improved on the Series, and the Defender was an evolution of the Series Land Rover gaining many of the benefits of the RRC to include the superior coil spring suspension and the V8. No Defender has made it across the Darien Gap yet as far as I'm tracking. That title belongs to CJ's, Range Rover Classics and a Series Land Rover.

The Pisgha National Mall last weekend. Toyotas, Jeeps and Rovers all in the parking lot having a great time.
We had to walk all the way through the mall to get to Bed Bath and Beyond, but the deals were amazing.

The point I was trying to get across was that the difference in the whole experience , of owning and utilising a Range rover , discovery , freelander , is less different from a landcruiser 80 than they are from a series or 110 , that is why he could make the stement that they are " just another vehicle" a series or 110 very much a philosphy JMHO
I have owned supplementary vehicles to my landrovers including jeeps, haflinger, unimog , and suzuki , and believe I have helped with detente by happily recovering Land cruisers etc .

Better context. Thanks for taking time to explain.
This looks like a very nice mall. I feel the urge to go shopping now.
