I'm hooked to offroad riding with dirtbikes now thanks to my brother. The experience you get can't compare to any ride on the concrete road. An added bonus is I get access to panoramic views of places rarely visited by people because of the remote location. I guess it's time to upgrade to a lighter dslr setup so I can easily take it with me in every ride.
Looks to be a serious piece of kit with spaceframe construction and a beefy roll cage. The only bodywork of any note is the bonnet.

Vehicles of this type are not uncommon and give an indication of conditions on unimproved Icelandic roads.
Maybe the very last build 6x6 by the Unimog works. Operating on the RNLAF shooting range in the Netherlands. Because of the very corrossive working conditions (sea atmosphere) a lot of stainless steel was applied. To be able to use the largest tires the cabin was rised several inches!
VMI Offroad can build the expedition vehicle of your dreams whether it is one of our Xtender series trailers, a complete expedition vehicle, or a combination of the two. VMI Offroad is here to help you get out and explore more.
Let the adventure begin. First offroad tour from Vau-Deja to Rrëshen. In Albania there are many gravel roads. Some are easy to drive, but some are very, very difficult.
Crossing into Gallinas Canyon,
Arrival at rustic gate
Fence line for cattle control.
The sign asks travellers, "Please! Close the Gate", because people seem to have issue leaving things the way they found them, even out here. The posts of juniper hardwood stand against time and weather, and while the fence decays, it still gets repaired.
Inherited grazing rights (historic land grants) still allow many cattle to graze in the Gila National Forest. These rights are hotly debated. Cattle easily overgraze the land, but in the Black Range low numbers and controls like this fence seem to help a lot. But the cattle do cause problems for the ecosystem balance, and this sometimes frustrates the Forest Service, because they cannot kill the animals or re-locate them for ownership rights (or afford the expense). So, the fences have to be maintained, yet they are an obstruction to the native species. As ranger Phil expressed in annoyance from his fire lookout assignment on nearby Hillsboro Peak, "Stupid cattle!"
Large parties of horse seem to have greater localized impact than the cattle. Six horses can really tear up a trail, and graze a meadow by their prodigious metabolisms, therefore fill it back up with large piles of fly bait.
Some of the cattle here are feral, so it is good to keep a look out for them as well as the other animals.
Black Range, New Mexico.
