How this will actually play out, in real life:
Army: “materials scientists have worked for decades to reduce the weight of your kit by 20%!”
Every Sergeant Major Everywhere: [scrambles to figure out how to make Soldiers carry 20% more gear]

Shhhhh... don’t tell anyone else. This place is already on a bunch of “top-10 places to raise a family” lists nationally, and is one of the top 15 fastest growing regions in the US.

As a resident of Northwest Arkansas (home to WalMart, JB Hunt, Tyson, etc), I posit that this corner of the state is an exception.

Arkansan here. Give us a little credit. Thanks to the proliferation of the internet into even the most back-wood-est of back woods here in the state, 101, 102 and even 103 are now well within the grasp of dozens of us.

I posted this over at TheDrive when they reported on it the day after it happened, but I’ll drop this here because I like to hear myself type. 

haha hey at least it isn’t on the frame... right? RIGHT?

Barcelona Red (its a 5th gen Trail FWIW). My 3rd gen (black) is scoopless.

In the 3rd gen 4Runner community, people buy entire trucks just to swap their non-scoop hood for a hood with a (non-functional) scoop on it, then sell the other vehicle on afterwards... all of this for a non-functional scoop.

Alcohol, mostly.

HAH yeah actually I’ve requested my wife stop volunteering our car for their family road trips. Both of her sisters drive newer (2014+) Jeeps that spend an inordinate amount of time in the shop for recalls. So the last few times, they’ve either used loaners to take the 4hr drive to the nearest civilization from here,…

The weird part is, all of their houses are spotless inside. All of their cars? Complete rolling dumpsters. They, I guess, figure they can do this same thing to other people’s cars. Also... my wife is just as bad. Get her sisters, her and the teenage nephew in one car and suddenly you’re wondering what smells like a…

The container was left on top of the cargo cover. It was rolling around up there when they got home. I guess on the plus side, they didn’t let the cargo cover retract (thus getting yogurt into the mechanism). Would have been nice if they cleaned it up, though.

My follow up question was “why are you kicking it under the seat?” her response: “the door pockets were full, and I don’t like getting it on my shoes.”

Same woman who said “its just a car, it’s not like I’m doing this to your house” when I lost it at them. Meanwhile, the only reason they had to take our SUV is because her Grand Cherokee was getting it’s 3rd recall this year worked on at the dealer & her loaner Grand Cherokee’s power steering went out.

My wife’s entire family is like this. Scenario: Wife, sisters, nephew all take a road trip in our new SUV. 4 days later, they return, and it’s like a family of badgers had been living there for a year. Food, fingernails, hair, all manner of (hopefully) soft drink and coffee stains on the…

Retrofitting early XJ vent windows into my ‘96 XJ is still, to this day, my crowning automotive achievement.

The circle-headlight GMC version of the title image, in my opinion. I learned to drive on a ‘78 GMC High Sierra with a 305 & a 3 on the tree. Silver on maroon 2 tone paint.

High beltlines in automotive design have been around for a while now.

If the 2020 Bronco looks anything like the concept in the image above, it could have a 2 speed Fordomatic for all I care. I’m buying one.

My favorite pastime...
