- 1991
- base model 2 door XJ
- 4.0HO, ax15, 231. stock D30/35.
- 3" coils, 4.5" RE leafs and 2" shackles. cut/fold front and rear.
- swapped the seats for reclining seats, swapped the base model side windows for vented side windows. Painted the jeep orange (though its hard to tell threw the mud most of the time.) GoPro mounted on the roof, which of course made my jeep 10x cooler then it was.

most pics were taken when it was on 33: iroks, though its currently running 36" TSL's.

Due to lack of interest once again... here's your 4 candidates.

Guys, please remember that when this is over I will REQUIRE that high resolution/good quality photos be sent to me to go in the Calendar. Please be prepared to do so. If not, the runner up's entry will be used instead.

K, Go.

I figured this is how it would pan out. Which is fine with me. Those are some cool shots of that MJ.

Ah damn, smashed the Jeep a lil late? But yeah, how did the two with no trail damage even get in?

Smacked a tree or two on a tight trail, hit a mud hole and hoped on the the side, and SMACK... SMACK.. broken bumper, header panel, headlight ring, both blinker housings(still work), smashes fender, and i think I cracked the grill

I find it interesting that the guy who lives in russia has our flag painted on the side of his MJ, especially considering how big of fans they are of the US right now

Trust me, I have plenty trail damage. It's just not quite as noticeable at the moment since I just replaced the front fenders and header panel because the old ones were falling off. Actually, I have more trail damage than you, Nitro.

I chose pictures that'd look good in a calendar. (Since, afterall, these pictures are going in a calendar.) I wasn't originally asking for pictures OF the carnage, just pictures of rigs WITH trail damage.

I'd guess that they're winning because no one pays a single lick of attention to "themes". In fact, I'm very, very close to doing away with the whole theme concept since it does nothing but raise questions and lead to an ultimate disinterest in the entire COTM contest. I never would have entered if we had more than 3 entries without it.

Zharoff entered his rig before I posted the theme so he got it because of that.
