The man was a minimalist so of course he liked our sort of truck: clean, bare, basic. Thanks to Thomas McLaughlin for noting this story about Evan Hughes and Judd's truck aesthtetic in the NYT.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

As a person who has done his considerable share of desert vehicular off-highway peregrinations over the years this NYT description of DJ's truck gave me big grins and a whole other insight into what he must have been up to down there...he knew what he was doing, that's for sure, and I can just imagine the country that rig saw. Including [sorry, dude] some seriously mountainous terrain.
