Remember how nobody in America needed an SUV, then car companies made them sexy by putting them in ads with people doing "extreme" shit like rock climbing, and then every soccer mom had to have one instead of a minivan, so they could feel attractive? But then nobody told them that climbers drive rusted-out Toyota pickups and Subarus and beat-up Honda Civics, not GMC Yukons.

Here's an SUV that's really an SUV, thanks to some modifications: Sara Lingafelter, aka RockClimbergirl, documented her climbing partner's transformation of his CR-V into a sweeeeeeet road trip vehicle, by adding a shelf for the sleeping surface (which perfectly fits two crash pads on top, for a mattress). Not your typical dirtbag vehicle, but now it is.
