We broke down and bought a new rig. A RED one.
This baby doesn't need the FabTech heavy duty front end. Nope, it's cast iron, Baby. 
Please note the aggressive tread pattern and super tight turning radius. Just perfect for negotiating the trails at Paragon.

We also don't need the air suspension or a lift. We can adjust the clearance with a simple hand lever. It also came with cruise control, and an automatic transmission.

Here it is in action. I know how you guys don't like driveway pics, muchless GARAGE pics.
I think we need to upgrade to HID's. As you can tell, those stocker lights stink.
Next time I'll try to get a few pics of it doing some hill work.
Hey, do you think the headrest monitor would be a good idea? What about a touchscreen Nav system? I don't want to get lost on the trail.

Oh hey, I almost forgot. This baby came with Ram Air standard. Oh heck yeah! All I need now is a header and better exhaust and my mileage will go sky high and my power will head off the charts.

Not to mention all the obstacles down there. Give's me the willies thinking about all the danger. After I get the soon to be produced GOBI Rig Rack, I'm putting a set up Piaa's on top for added night time safety.

Make sure your nav system show elevation too. Are you going to get a tilt meter?
This sure reminds me of what turned into a grill thread

On the other hand, Taz is working on a special injection system that I can't talk about. I'm going to combine it with a new set of gears from HGW!

I'm so aggressive with this hard core wheeling machine it's not uncommon to slip a tire here and there. The pucker factor jumps up pretty fast. I wish CP had gotten the really cool spinning tire pics.
Yes, I said TIRE. I need a locker, too.

You going to have that beast at Paragon on the 20th? If so, I may have to drive up just to see it
