| In search of the Ultimate 80
I think it's about time to pick an ultimate 80. We should establish criterias were everybody can participate. Maybe do this once a year and have prizes for 1st,2nd and 3rd runner-up. What do you all think? Waste of time? Let's hear it.

| In this case, after we decide on what different criterias we need to have, whoever scores the highest will be the "ultimate".

| I think I got most of them covered, but I reckon the arctic cruisers need to be added. And BBM Rick's old 80. | |

The list could really go on and on and on and on and on and on and on....

| I'd think that the ultimate 80 still has to have solid road manners. "Go anywhere" has to include highway.
I'd be inclined to vote for something that can do insane things offroad, but doesn't need a trailer to get home.

Tired Iron's rig is clearly on the short list for best of breed in the hard core offroad class.
