Man there are some nice rigs this month. I didn't even vote for mine. Freerider got my vote, in my eyes he's got most everything I do (basically) plus a couple things I still want to do.

It was down to the two of them, but having no rocks around here, mud and sand are the only options. I love action mud shots. so that one picture sold it to me. serioulsy though, alot of people just read over the specs and look at the pictures probly. So IMO, second only to specs, the picture is very important and that one picture is what i could see me entering myself.

I think your rig does look pretty badass Twisted...but how do you see how you and Freerider have basically the same rig?... I hardly see a relation between the two..

what i don't understand is that people with stock axles/gears etc have more votes than those with waaaayy more modifications. Freerider should easily take this month but probably won't, I guess i don't understand

haha, no not bitter at all

i've just seen it happen a few times before, it's just an interesting observation on how some vote, nothing more...

I guess we all have different criteria for what the COM should have. I see it as the rig with the most modification, capibility and fab work. Not just a good looking rig or a good picture of that rig(which that picture of your's is badass). Im not trying to take anything away from any of the potential COM's but it doesn't take much to buy a lift and slap it on a jeep. It takes skill ( or deep pockets) to swap in axles or do other such work that doesn't require simply clicking the "add to my basket" button. Those rigs that have this type of work done are those that i think should win....

it's just my opinion, just throwing it out there
