ok, once my tow hooks come in we'll have to head to the beach. There aren't a lot of trails here in SE NC.
I think we need a mall crawler ranking for those of us who haven't been "offroading" yet

We have something like that for post count. Notice how you're a cruiser... used to be Mall Cruiser, but there was some debate on that. But I do like the idea for Trail Rank though... Default rank for all should be Mall Crawler until they post up their trips and request a higher rank here. James... make it happen!!! LOL

Or is it one for the trail rated, plus 3 additional for offroad rated? If so I plan on going out Friday anyhow so I can wait until I post the pics of that one.

I know this is kind of a lame trip but we had a blast, and we did get off the road. Can i get rid of the "mall rated" tag now?

thanks James, and after doing the short write up it gives me more appreciation to you guys who do more extensive write ups. Having to post resize pics to post to photo bucket and then link over is a good bit of work and I appreciate everyone's effort.

This is the first one that I have been on with pics since being back. I lead with me and a friend. We did not do everything that we wanted to do cause we spent most of the afternoon, and night fixing his busted tire rod and linkage to get his truck out of the MTN so no Mexicans mess with it.

Also lead one in the small wash around sierra Vista. This one was short lived due to same Blue Chevy shattering his drivers side CV shaft.

Rob and Steve,
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!
