I posted a number of my photos from this last trip on a 4Runner forum that I go on, and one of the people who replied was retired from the film industry, and had done some work with automotive commercials. He gave me some tips, and told me of all the photos I'd posted of my 4Runer, this one was his favorite, and he gave me a couple reasons why.
I've always been drawn to the photos and stories of the British, "Long Range Desert Group", and the "Special Air Service" that operated in North Africa in WWII. They had stowage and Jerry cans strapped all over their trucks and jeeps, and they were a big part of the inspiration for my 4Runner "build". I think this photo helps capture a little of that feel. On a funny note, I had to crop it in quite a bit to get rid of patches of snow on the ground. I think most people who have spent some time in the deserts of the world understand that deserts can and do get snow, but it just takes away from the overall look. Haha
