[olds442]

wow this one is gonna be hard...hmmmm i just dont know.....

[Twisted]

Man, there are some very capable rigs up there. I feel like an underdog here cause mine isn't built to be a hardcore rig, just a very capable daily driver. Something that won't get stopped by any natural disaster or crappy weather. But thats ok, someday I'm gonna build a buggy.

Good luck to everyone up there. We've got some quality XJ's on here.

[gregmondro]

I'd like to see what a d30/d35 running 35s with a 4.5" rubicon express kit beat out to win that month in the modified class here on Jeepforum.... lol.

best of luck to everyone
