sorry mods, this was meant to be on the spotted thread, pressed wrong button, too early.

over in Courior's patch. I did see one or two more around but this was my favourite.

It was being used to get boats in and out of the water. Virtually rust-free and kept under cover overnights.
Seen at Ramla Bay, north Malta. Loved this one, just a really straight, proper working truck.
(Note rhd, being Malta)

Looks like they're removed all the bits they don't really need! :lol:

I like it. It's a truck for a job and it does it well.

I ended up using my SJ, along with the park's gator for work the other day when the fergie wouldn't start. Ended up having to rescue the gator because it bottomed out

Im going to start taking pics and add them here... There are some near me that are so lifted its mad. And there are literally thousands going around, most of them rust free ish (no salt roads here).

Also as cars are silly expensive so people look after them and most of them know how to wield a spanner. here BUILT not BOUGHT is pretty common :)

Can i buy stickers with the site logo? maybe i can leave them under the wipers and they will join... With the work done on them they must really know a lot about them and bring some knowledge to the site.

Here are my first few, and boring/rubbish, videos of me doing a little exploring.. Its just with my mobile placed on a rock. Its more to show the car than actual off roading action lol. But anyway, here are the links:

watched the first one Courior, I'll get to the rest in a minute. It has a bit of a Fargo feel to it - the leisurely pace creates real tension ;)
What's the logo on the side of the Gypsy?

The previous owner was a bit of a metal head and the logo on the side is the skull from the punisher. Also i have a chrome skull as a gear knob and small skull pins in the seatbelts to stop the clip falling down to the floor.
