I've been looking for something to replace my incredibly reliable/useful/drivable, but also SUPER boring Honda HRV daily driver. Given our proximity to some very tempting trails, I started looking for something small, capable, and quirky.

This one was a tow-behind for an older couple who kept absolutely fantastic care of it, and it is clean inside and out.

She ain't fast, but so far I absolutely love it. There are almost no electronic driver assists: no cameras, lane sensors, keyless entry...none of it. Driving it feels very much like DRIVING.

Planning a trip up to the Mt Potosi observatory this weekend -there's some great trails up there- so hopefully I have some action shots by Monday!

Something like that looks like it could be a great deal of fun.
And something for offroad doesn't need to be fast - with a few exceptions like Baja.
I've wondered about the wisdom of putting 392s in Wranglers.
Jeeps are good at breaking stuff. But a 392 can break stuff with conviction.

Travel safely. Keep the rubber side down.

Looking forward to to your action videos. Enjoy it.

If yours is a soft top, saw some hardtops are available for those.

How'd the trip go ?

I need to take pictures next time we go out....
Las Vegas is so much better for off-roading than I realized...within 15 minutes of my house there are a dozen fantastic spots for trails. I've taken it out 2-3x a week since we got it and am impressed by it every single time. The amount of capability smashed into this car is incredible.

I added an amp and some speakers, but kept the stock dash. It was a pain because I couldn't find an accurate wiring diagram anywhere and had to trace the wires for the harness myself, but worth it for the cassette deck!

The 70's called. They want their tapes back.

Sweet. Ask them if they have a copy of Van Halen 1 I can have

I think you'd enjoy this video. Seriously!

I grew up "pirating" music off of the radio and my friends on cassette tapes and they have a very real nostalgic value to me. I'm developing quite the collection!

I've been looking for a Tracker or an X90.

This should help.
