1994 Range Rover classic. I like to drive around in a blizzard and pull out stuck cars from snow banks. I plan to make a killing this winter. The owners usually tip very well.

I think it's when the temperature drops below 70 degrees and pretty much nothing else happens... For some weird reason, a lot of people choose this time to start driving beaters around until spring.

Omg, the angle on those driveshafts!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the differentials look to be at an angle. But still, omg.

he needs to drop a rope ladder so passengers can get in...

& the bottom of the truck bed serves dual purpose as a bar.

I thought a winter beater was supposed to be a POS (so you didn't care if you slid on teh ice & bent it (or is that what people call a "salt car")?

Yours is a nice truck btw. Its a 12" lift with 38s. I would like bigger tires but the height of the truck is right at the legal limit.

It used to have a drop down stair when you opened the door, but the snow and salt took on a toll on em so I removed them after one of them broke when my buddy jumped on it and it cracked.
