we got that mower, 2 of them actually. they don't do so well when kids pour sand into them.
Yeah, don’t see it lasting too much longer after all the helicoptering he was doing to it today! :facepalm:
When I was about 4 yr old in the mid-70s, I kept wearing out my plastic toy mowers following around my dad when he was doing the real thing. So, my dad made a more durable model for me:

That is freaking cool!!! I always wanted a Unimog.
It is pretty cool, the ground clearance on it with 40" tires and portal axles is insane. It has 2 granny gears and 4 regular for 6 total forward along with 2 reverse gears, and lockers. The guy we got it from said he took it off road a few times but it was no fun because you couldn't get it stuck without putting it in a situation it'd flip over. You'd have to find some deep mud or huge rocks, but that's essentially what they were made for. I think this one was a forestry fire truck, it has an exhaust driven pump for pulling up to a stream or pond and pumping water in, though no longer has any of the rest of the equipment.

That thing is a beast!! That's pretty cool having that pump on it.

¿What happened to your front license plate? Winch mod or something else you don’t want to talk about? ;)
It flips up to use the winch, but it took a beating last time I went off road. The bumpers are pretty solid but the license plate not so much.

Verified that our Gladiators are "water heater rated". Definitely "truck enough" for us to change out our dying water heater...

Also, fear not, the heater survived the trip on its back! So nice to have a warm shower that lasts longer than 3 minutes.

Has been a nice couple days here and my son really wanted to play with his power wheels Jeep but it was a mess from sitting for so long with no cover. So we took it to the car wash to spray it out!

Love your whole setup! Especially your bumper. What kind of bumper & winch do you have?

Good ole West Texas, 70 one day and 8" of snow the next.

But still had to go to the office, so I had an excuse to drive the Gladiator to work.

Man I wish I could find some snow for my JT to play in, unfortunately I don't think I'm going to in southeast NC
