I stumbled across a few of the videos of the Camel Trophy "races" on Youtube. Holy Cow, those races looked like a lot of fun! Lots of Land Cruiser porn...I love the Defender 110 (I think that's what they were).
 Failed To Load Title 1996  Failed To Load Title 1989 Wikipedia says they quit because Camel was sold to a Japanese tobacco company who no longer wanted to sponsor it. Is there anything similar currently? Anybody participate in something similar? |

The Rainforrest Challenge is pretty awesome.Attached File Attached File |

They made a movie about it.
OK. Not really. But when I see jungle offroad stuff, it reminds me of Sorcerer. |

Those are not Land CRUISERS, those are Land ROVERS. Big difference. Id like to see some bro dozers with a 12" lift and low profile mud terrains do this stuff. lol |

I know the difference, I just mis-typed. Land Cruisers are pretty awesome, too. I'd actually rather have a Land Cruiser than a Land Rover. On my bucket list! Thanks for the tip on the Dakar (Though I thought they quit running that due to terrorism?) and the Rain Forrest challenge. I admit I like the cooperative aspect of the Camel Trophy a lot. |

You clearly don't know anything about overlanding. That's why I already posted about bro dozers and low profile mud terrains. The fact that these trucks are nearly stock should tell anyone thats serious about overlanding/off roading you don't need a bro lift/50" tires. Only in the US does one need an F250 lariat and 12" lift to get to the mall. lol every time |

I thought it was cool that the Brits and the Japanese (and maybe a few others) had right hand drive vehicles, and the US, Germany, had left hand drive. In one of the early seasons they talked about that. The powers that be decided it would be safer (clearance issues) and fair if they did it that way. |
