That's funny. My son and i took our rovers to a park here in east cental Missouri. I had my '04 and he had his '96. When we pulled in we got some looks from the locals. There were lots of pickups, Chevy, Ford, Ram and the occasional Jeeps. Some of the looks we got were not friendly. We wheeled for about an hour or two and left. It was strange being followed around by grown men on quad runners and dirt bikes. Not sure what they were waiting to see. But we had fun and didn't get stuck. In fact his '96 did just as well as my '04. The friendliest people we found were some kids in two jeep Cherokees who reeked of weed and stale cigarettes. We left with trucks dirty enough to match the looks we still got as we drove away.

 

Can you sleeve them with electrical shrink wrap tube and zip tie the oversized ends afterwards to protect them? Use a paint stripper hot air gun very carefully on the shrink wrap.

Yeah, it's odd here because of the divide between the locals and the folks that just cone to visit on weekends and summers. The locals all drive American pickups and Jeeps for the most part, and even though there are a ton of land rovers, they have no idea that they can actually go off road because nobody uses them for that. That is one of the reasons I like them, nothing screams badass more than a lifted luxury suv covered in mud hanging with the best of em
