Pimpin' my friends rig to get some feedback.

All Jeep ;) 360/wide T18/D20/D44 5.13 Detroit/D44 5.13 Spool/37x13.50, narrowed 19" up front, stock wheelbase alum bed remnants, lots o' weight loss. Some think it's very Scout 800-esque, some say WTF?, others dig it.

Other than cutting the little lugs outta the boggers, anyone have some constructive or destructive criticism?

So, :barf: or :cool:

Man, I love Mike's rig. Totally function over form, but it STILL looks cool.

Gotta work on the reliability though! ;) Fawkin' thermostat!

Killer rig!

I'd get rid of some of that rear overhang though! Why is there so much?

His departure angle is what? 20*? :D

Other than that, VERY stylin!

Long ass leaves. . . so far, he says they haven't bothered him.

I'm certain that he'll get an itch and put some coils out back.

That's gotta suck to drive in the mud! Gawd I hate getting muddy!



But it does look sweet! sorta confirms the saying "less is more!"

fsj's are just plain cool.. i might be biased..

Looks badass from the front, :barf: from the side. All in all, I kinda dig it.

That's true, and I leave the top on untill the mud dries up:flipoff2: :flipoff2:



Mission imposible is a great run! The side trails are actually harder; Woody (on this board) found 2 freshly logged side trails that are WAY harder.

Actually, there are 3 new trails cut there...all the result of the clear-cutting the loggers did. Keep hoping to get up there and scout more, but haven't had much time for local wheeling this summer.

First one was cut in Summer 02, other two were cut Spring 03. One has only had 1 vehicle thru it that I'm aware of, and needs some time to get it defined.

Here's a shot of the easier of this summers creations...
