I had completely forgotten about this, but got to reading, and I think I now qualify for:

•Offroad Rated: lifted truck and posted proof of at least 3 off highway trips, one of which should be considered non-stock passable.

Between the 1/2" spacer and the 87 springs in front, and the 1" spacer and airbags in the rear, I'm 2" lifted, and have larger tires than stock...

You both have been given trail ready tags. The rank is meant not only to outwardly express your trail experience, but reward you for writing up your trips - they go hand-in-hand. The 'database' of trails and experiences is a valuable resource to this community, so we want that to grow. Once you guys have 3 total writeups, we can bump you up to offroad rated.

Thanks for doing the writeups!


yeah I wheel more then I write up, I really need to get ontop of that and maybe it will get more westies over my way.

Yes maybe, mid Augest look for a pic filled extensive write up on the Knoxville/Devilhead area. I am hoping I can purchase my GoCam by then as well. I haven't had any interest from any members on here(my fault really) about going mid Augest but some of my local friends will be going so I can go to the good places I can't alone.
