Do many people drive off road trucks?

I imagine thats a pretty specialist subject there. I cant think of anybody who has an off road truck that drives it off road. Off road bikes yeah- but not trucks...maybe its a Town thing?

Lots off people own off road trucks in north america. Sounds like 4x4 trucks are pretty rare in Britain.

I always thought cars had 4 wheels!!?

Most farmers and brickies drive 4 wheel drive trucks. Normally a Mitsubishi or Land Rover. British army use Land Rover's too!!

Reliant Robins

off roader's just arent that popular where most of us live. I guess out in the sticks, some people probably do use them

Thats a quality video!

Much like we used to do, but we tended to work with angle grinders, bolt croppers and mig welders with zero paint budget.

But those things never worked very long without breaking so we bought old cars and did this instead
