Last fall I entered a off-road challange at the badlands. The "tech/engineering" inspection was a riot...

Q. Do you have extra low gearing added to your tcase?
A. What for ? I have a 6.5:1 1st gear. ...0 pts.

Q. Do you have long travel slipjoints in the driveshafts ?
A. No. My shafts only need about 1/2" of slip. ...0 pts.

Q. Do you have a upgraded strg. pump and/or box, like agr offers ?
A. Well, it's full hydro, if that means anything ...0 pts.

Q. Do you have a lift kit, if so, how high over stock ?
Well, I made some links and used coilover shocks, so it's not really a kit, but the frame is higher, but I channeled the tub and lowered the engine, I guess I'm not sure how far over stock it really sits. ...7 pts.

Then they handed me a Atlas tcase sticker and a Ramsey winch (yuk) sticker for each side of the rig...You gotta have these visible or you won't be in the photos...ROFL

Q. Do you have a upgraded strg. pump and/or box, like agr offers ?

AGR ???? Bloody hell....I hope they were going to deduct points if you said yes! :D

Sounds like those are do-you-buy-lots-of-products-whether-you-need-them-or-not points. Real engineering points would give you extra credit for making your own and even more points for determining you have nothing to gain from a particular mod.

That is funny as hell, sounds like these people really had no right to be judges...
