My Outback 3.0R may not be as "off-road" as the Jeeps in this thread, but its loves the dirt and snow, and is pretty capable with VTD and a limited slip rear axle :D

My XJ has had some mods and now runs a Dana 44 rear diff along with 4.56 gears and a Detroit Locker in the back. Also cut the guards and added some new flares to fit the 35" tyres :)

For better touring I've also installed a 120lt fuel tank up from the stock 76lt tank.

My baby, 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 3" lift and 31" tires. Engine is a stroked Mopar small block, 403 c.i. I am currently working on a new engine management system, that should help with horsepower and MPGs.

We did say Tow Rigs right???
Here's mine from a few years ago. My favorite picture so far.

White Rim Trial!

I've been in the planning stages for a few years gathering parts on my trailer build. I have four other trailers, so that's why there hasn't been any urgency.
My plan is to build a steerable campimg trailer that I can control from the drvers seat around trees and such.
I already have that whole steering part figured out. But, I keep seeing all these really nice trailers here and can't make up my mind what kind of box to put on it.

I'l figure it out one of these days. I hope!
My Rodeo is really begging for more Moab.

Don't have a pic right now, but my tow vehicle is a 1987 1 ton Toyota truck. 2 inch lift, and 31x10.50/15's, and a limited slip in the front end. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Just built a rack for mine to carry a roof top tent on those trips where there is no base camp and I dont need the TD. Next I'll build a rack for the TD so it can sleep all 5 of us for those week long camping trips etc :)

2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition...not many mods, new slider/steps and Revos. It's my DD, so have to keep it tame for awhile.
