Yah, maybe so. But you'd normally see that kind of thing on a Humvee or any variety of Toyota/Nissan Ute headed for the Northern Territory or Brazil or Kenya where extended, swampy, wet areas are transgressed without benefit of even unimproved roadways. Swampy? Wet? Unintended/unimproved roads? At GLR? They're building new gravel roads, hot-topping others....and buying swamp-equipped $50k rigs to drive them? They were buying budget 2wd Jeep Cherokees to patrol the worst of back-country goat lanes 25 years ago. Yet today they need uber-equipped Super Duties to travel roads better maintained and accessible? No makey no sense from a pure taxpayer's point of view. The Super Duty with the Boss stack isn't needed to roam GLR's perimeter on the look-out for tourists and such. I don't like where our tax dollars are going and this looks like one of the places where it's being seriously mis-spent. This is my issue.
80% of GLR can be traveled with a Jeep Patriot/Ford Escape 2wd with a 4-cyl and done so proficiently. Don't need a 1 ton diesel semi-commercial rig with special order items to rut the new hard road along the base perimeter.
Stupid, just stupid....
