What happens to all of the vehicles that are made for the Ultimate Adventure?  Are they sold, stored, or does the bank get them?  I just was wondering.

According to the magazine they are parked in the back and raided for parts regularly after they are deemed to beat up to revitalize.Or something like that.

We have most of them still, they sit around and are driven from time to time, when they are working.

Actually, come to think of it, we still have all of them. Infact my truck is parked next to the FJ in our lot right now.

It's looking quite a bit better than that now, but that is the UA Tacoma that you spotted there LS1. McNulty is working on resurrecting it an doing a great job.

The K10 unfortunately is in the worst shape of the UA fleet. That is the one that has been raided for parts and basically left for dead in a field. But we do still own it and have control of it so there is always a chance of it coming back to life.

It is in good shape, parked in our super secret underground vehicle storage facility (aka, the parking garage at the office). It has been fighting a TIPM problem for a while now, but besides that is in fine shape.

Avy is out getting a new rear end installed. Besides the rear end it is also in pretty good shape.

It has the 8.1.
