and these are some links to some interesting pictorials (because i don't know thai).
put this in "tech" because one of the Sportages has some interesting tube and fender work as well as the fact they are carrying massive rolls of PVC out to the boonies to hook up a well water pump.

will post more as i come across good stuff.
** from another thread:
** looks like the same trip as the first link:
