I thought he was a carpenter who opined that the meek shall inherit the earth. So that puts him in a T100 V6 with a bedliner.

Vehicle ads in Surfer magazine by bluesubie

Reading through the December issue of Surfer magazine, there are other manufactures marketing towards surfers. Subaru with the Baja, Ford with the Ranger pick-up, Nissan with the X-Terra, and (a first that I've seen), Honda with the Element.
 
The Honda ad is two pages and looks impressive. It touts their wipe-down utility floors and shows a view out the back. That thing looks huge!
 
Meanwhile, when I was at the dealer Monday, the pics of the Baja showed surfboards crammed in without any protection. I guess there's no way to fit surfboards that are in a board bag into the "pass-through".
 
Wonder if they got a surfer's point of view for those ads?

Heck yeah, Bob, cost cutting on a $50k vehicle? No excuses at that price.
 
Trooper's is also split, right? That's smart, the doors aren't quite so huge. Someone parks behind you in a RAV4 or CR-V and you can't open it all the way.
 
Element has one major omission: no full size spare. Imagine getting a flat on the beach, and then using a thin donut to dig yourself into the sand.
 
Does Baja get a donut? If so they should fix that.

The Baja has a donut stored under the bed. Subaru even puts a warning sticker in the bed saying NOT to place a full-size (flat or good) tire in the spare tire carrier, as it could cause damage.
 
Another half-baked Baja solution, IMO.

That's a mistake considered they advertise in Surf magazines.
 
If there isn't enough clearance I'd get the taller springs and lift the whole thing while I'm at it. You could do both for about $500.
 
I still have 3 spare 15" steelies, any Crew member can have 1 free if they want a full size spare. It would fit on any TS wagon, Forester L, or Legacy L.

any vehicle that has "trucking aspirations," no matter how minimal, should have a full-size spare. Heck, I think all vehicles should have a full-size spare!
