Sup guys, so I got a question. I'm sure most of you have heard of the Camel Trophy comp. Well would it be considered taboo if I were to camel trophy-ise my Jk. I'm aware that its a land rover thing but it was originally started by old CJs. I realllly love the expedition style they have going on, the ruggedness of there vehicles, and the camel trophy sign and am thinking about getting some stickers that say camel trophy. I just dont want to be "that guy" what do you guys think? Here is a video for those who are unaware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yGq...e_gdata_player

The way I see it is it is your Jeep. Make it your own anyway you choose. I just put on mine whatever I think makes it work best for what I want to do and so far that has worked for me. It gets good comments and can lead the rubis over stuff that makes them work for it.

It's your rig, but I can tell you even in Land Rover circles Camel Trophy wanna-be vehicles are sneered at. I think building a Wrangler to CT specs is a cool idea, but I personally wouldn't put CT logos on a Jeep.

It's your Jeep and you should do with it what you like, but be aware that you'll probably be regarded as "That guy" by many Jeepers and Landy owners alike.

There's a fine line between being a poser and paying homage.. I'd be a little leary..

On second thought, do it and put a sticker on the back that say "Official Land Rover Camel Trophy recovery vehicle". That will cover you.
