Thanks for telling me to change my build sheet link. I suppose it's obvious, but I would have never thought of it. haha

I feel i should at least be a "trail ready" rig. i live to wheel and i dont have many pics because im the driver. iv got a few on here which i will link. i have a video or two i will post if requested/required by you.

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=825&start=800#p93520

i have some more but none are really special. havent had a chance to wheel since i put on my new struts, wheel spacers, and tires.

just my thoughts, now it is on you guys.

Do you have a trail report of one of your trips created? It is stated to have a trail report write-up not a random shot.

You see... We don't do trips.and the jeep logo is for fun since I roll with jeeps most of the time. I just got done wheeln actually. Had to change my u-joint. That thing was so bad. Dusty inside... Anyways, we tend to stick around home. We have roughly 300 acres to play on. Some sand, mud, rivers, decent rocks. And a ravine with some seriously dangerous hills in it, and we have the powerlines. That's not really something to "document" if u catch my drift. Been running the same stuff for years. All I can do is get some pics for u guys to check out...

That's as much as many trip threads here... write up your adventures.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Exactly, the rank is supposed to be as much a reflection of your experience, as it is a recognition that you took the time to write up and share your experiences.

Eddie, it does look like you could be up-ranked. However to do so, you have to write up trip reports, or be included in a trip that someone else has written up.

We like reading good stories of your off-road adventures, and we love pictures. Write your adventures up in grand fashion and we will be more than happy to move you up in rank.
