Clearly there is a point when an offroad/overlanding enthusiast starts calling their vehicle a rig. just not sure when that is... As for why it matters? it doesnt... but just thought it was an interesting observation
I feel something can be a "rig" when it has been modified for a purpose. Excluding lights all over the place for the sake of lights.
I wouldnt refer to a Silverado as a "rig."
I have been an offroad enthusiast for a few years now... I have also built a couple trucks that I would call a "rig." But I have been hearing owners of GXs referring to their trucks as 'rigs' or "builds" even if its just barely modified. I also see it on YouTube videos from journalist...
