    Please stop posting Jeff's articles, they are often filled with the wrong information, rumors and just plain obvious information, its bad enough the dude self promotes every chance he gets here, last thing we need is TW members making it legitimate.

    I mean...North Korea has a tropical green to the region...plus we’ve had a presence in South America for awhile. Woodlands will never be replaced with deserts.

    I was deployed to the jungles in the remote parts of SW Philippines twice back in 07 and 08-09. We were allowed to wear our old BDUs. Half the time though we just wore the old school tiger stripe shorts and whatever t-shirts we wanted.

    Mmm. The pill-a-peins.

    Did you come back with the black syphilis? Asking for a friend. It lays dormant in the body for like 20 years.

    The real warriors of the US cut their flight suits into shorts/tank tops and close with the enemy with firepower and maneuver in their PB made combat rompers. #therealpsychops

    Or they don't know they have a problem. How many grannies do you think even realize that their drum brakes maybe creating a drag to begin with? Oh this is just how the truck drives... It's a well known issue on a 3rd gen just look it up man.

    Where do you think those countries "leading the way" in electric vehicles are getting the vast majority of the electricity for those vehicles? I'll give you a hint: it starts with "C" and ends with "oal".

    You should have read it yourself..."'Over 70% of China’s large-scale wind and solar projects have been installed in the resource-rich northern regions featuring low electricity demand and low export capacity.' Moreover, China's 'lack of transmission lines to export electricity from the renewable energy mega-bases has been the major cause of renewables curtailment.' Curtailment is stranded power that is generated but cannot get into the grid."

    In plain English, China has built a bunch of solar plants in order to virtue signal. They still account for over 28% of the world's CO2 emissions, yet rank 108th in the world in GDP (PPP).

    Two totally separate issues. I’m in full agreement with you. China is NOT our friend, but we MUST work with them

    Well they ARE selling a bunch of green ones on pre-order so...

    Bingo! $X million to develop a new taco drivetrain or approx $0 to re-order an existing paint code from their supplier.

    RIP Timberland Mica :(

    My coworker has the Fj in that color. It is def much less glossy in person short of being freshly waxed.

    I understand that they harvest a lot of solar energy. However, that means absolutely nothing since their carbon output increases every year and the fact remains that they aren't actually able to use the majority of the solar power that they are harvesting.

    If you look at the map in the link you posted, you will see that the most efficient areas for solar harvesting are also the furthest away from China's biggest cities.

    I feel like I have turets since the topic jumped so far but I really thought quicksand could have been a while lot cooler had they dialed back the orange a little bit.
    Think the green is the same, if it were a little lighter, may look more ARMY..
    I'm loving all these new colors but bought white anyways..

    Who the hell would want to drive around with a leach attached to their truck?
