^^^ Those just look dirty — I can do that myself. I like the totally rusted out like the 110 I posted with the Camel Trophy sticker.

And I did see the actual rusted metal pieces for the side vents and hood treadplate, but I’ve always thought that looks like a total affectation since nothing about the rest of the truck looks like that. Like, how would those pieces rust into oblivion while the rest of the the Defender looks showroom?

The shiny red truck above looks good as hell, though.

 

Agreed on all accounts. I was actually in the checkout line at Hobby Lobby (don't ask) when I made them quickly on my phone. As soon as you start asking it for a 2020 with decay, abuse, and rust, it wants to show only classics. I'll try it again if I have some time. These were the rejects and they're just so beautiful. Love the color of #1&2

 

Nothing says “Trans-Saharan travel” like strapping suburban driveway pavers to the hood!

 

…And why is there a Capuchin monkey crouched on the front bumper of this very cool looking truck?

 

What competent adventurer doesn't have a trusted 🐒 sidekick?

 

Sidekick? Oh, I thought it was road kill stuck to the grill.....

 

I can see why, rival gangs targeting each other's monkeys is not uncommon lately.

 

I was there in Nov also, same thing visiting family.

saw lots of old Defenders in use at farms and in towns mostly in the midlands.

new ones were scarce,

 

SMH, I remember when that was a line competent adventurers simply DID NOT cross...
