Jim, your pictures are bad ***. seriously. You hold your own with the bigger rigs, you inspire me to spend less time wrenching, and more time wheeling. We need to do some trails this summer. I just hope I can keep up with you. Karlin, you get my vote.

Jim's pics are absolutely badass.
Give's me something to hope for to get out west and do some wheeling. I've been told many times locally that I am wasting my money going long arms in mine, but looking at those pics I get reassured that I am going the right way. |
