Genius. Most trucks I've seen have nothing.

I hope they do everything they can to legally avoid the chicken tax. It just gets passed straight on to buyers. Getting the price down is the best thing they can do for their reputation. VW built a factory in Westmorland, PA to manufacture the Rabbit pickup in 1979. Subaru put seats in the...

Saw my first Gren yesterday heading south out of Minden, NV. Looked like a road trip in process. Mushroom. Gave him the thumb's up and V sign. Definitely won't be mistaken for anything else, except a Defender, but only at long distance. Sehr geil.

That's where I mount the spare in my 110 Hi-Cap, like in a 130.

$ for Wrington for alloys is steep, but the quality is tops.

That would be a 110, the spare mounted on the front of the wheelwell. Can't do that with a 130 box, where the spare mounts aft of the wheelwell and flat on the floor. I believe there are 2 types.

110 or 130?

Market seems to be around $75k, give or take, for a nice one.

Them's the ones. The cobby look isn't for everyone, for sure. Perfect for Series, tho.

Old school link mats. Won't really help with insulating from heat and noise tho. And not on the glamour side of the scale. Problem with solid mats is that they collect moisture. Worst when mats aren't removed regularly.

The ride quality of the NAS 110 not only benefits from the longer wheelbase, but also the Boge strut. Was never available on the 90.

Do the bulkhead fresh air vents matter to you?

Once your rig is wired up for U-H trailers, the next times are easier. Home built trailers are pretty common so DMV's are used to creating trailer titles from scratch.

Bigger wheels/tires add unsprung weight and rolling resistance, change the overall gearing, reduce speedo/odo accuracy and are that much harder to muscle around and find a place to mount the spare.

LWB RRC's have a nice tank mounted to the frame rail. MIke Green's NAS 110 had rock slider/air tanks. Prob worked ok but it never caught on.
