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.

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.
