How many of you got a PPV/SSV because of the extra "cool factor"?

I buy them to fix up and update, interior, wheels, and make sure they are a reliable vehicle. Must be SSV. Sometimes I repaint the whole thing and always add updated tune box in the dash. They sell like popcorn. Most go first day.

I’ll buy one from you, after you restore!

No. Yours actually looks useful. Mine was a low bidder deal for sure. The guy at the state yard where I picked it up even said it looked cool but the troopers hate them because they rattle all day long.

I have the same one in my 2011 PPV. It was made by Texas Corrections Industries. It took me forever to figure out the 4 slots were for scales. I made trays to slide into them to hold camping stuff.

I bought a 2011 PPV a couple of years ago. Coolness yes, but I also wanted something I didn't have to worry about getting dirty while camping.

Then I discovered overlanding...
