Exclamation Mine...truck of the month??

(read whole thread to find out why the caution)

Its pretty exciting being truck of the month for the first time in my life, though its not as sweet as it could be because I know im not as deserving of this award as say SCSL, which does some crazy stuff in his disco.

Anyway, he found me from cardomain, and since I have 210+ pics and 14 videos to date, I instantly became the truck of the month. Im trying to send him a more recent pic w/ the cut bumper and removed sway bars. Though I love the jeep pose im going to pray that nobody flames me on this one; I guess jeep poses are looked down apon in the rover-world.

heres the link, it seems as though its a new rover-site:

Congrats! You do have a sweet truck!

Did you even know??

Nothing worse then someone just stealing images online... If your gonna use someone elses images you still need permission. As a designer nothing frustrates me more...

sorry for the rant.... It may be premature...

I like how they used my signature without even asking...

I understand completely, and under normal circumstances I would object, but in this case its mear flattery. Since its truck of the month and not like "most balls vehicle of the month" posted next to those bastard redreck 4x4 cars, I really have no problem with it. He already e-mailed me back and was totally cool with changing it or whatever; sure he could have e-mailed me beforehand, but at least he e-mailed me.(period) He probably didnt think about it and thiers no need to come over as an ass and start to fry him about liking my car enough to post it.

oh, hey thx SCSL; I guess I just see other guys doing stuff way more crazy then I do, and then I end up getting the award.......maybe im too modest.

hey also, what does that stand for? I have the hardest time remembering it, weather its SLCL, SCLC and other combos.

Hehe, he copied it from cardomain. It took me long enough to wire them up, but they are very cheap....$9.99/lamp 100watt. They do the job, by looking good and lighting up. Im not sure how powerful they are compared to hellas, ive heard people say that thier high model 100w lamps are much brighter then thier crappy cheap ones. Either way, I plan to get hella rallye 4k's w/ 130w bulbs eventually. As soon as I get my expensive HD bar and rocksliders, etc.

lol, np. Ive been trying to make sure everyone knows so they dont end up figuring it out after they already know me for six months. Though its not like it doesnt line up with my avatar; I dont see anyone else "immature" enough to jump thier rover w/ all 4's off the ground All sorts of bad things could come out of a stunt like that, though its only worth it since we got footage.



As you can see, my friend JP (with the JeeP) was more willing to jump his car, though he ended up with a loose transfer case

wow! that is cheap!

ive got 3 hella 4000s on mine and they are great. two euro beams and one cornering. they can easily light up a six lane street, but they are illegal on the street. i don use em much and i believe the money could have been better spent on sliders or something like that. oh well, they look cool.

you gotta love laws in NV;

to my present knowledge you are allowed to use aux. lights in combination with you high beams, though that would require me to wire them to my highs and it would just be a pain to wire them. Im personally looking at getting the Micro DE fog lights so I can have them on all the time with my standard lights, then use the hellas for off roading. Eventhough that would mean I had like 5 lights on the front of the SG bumper I now want, I dont really care what EE thinks about looking like a "spider". Im going nearly 100% functionality, and if looking like a spider or having my fenderflares on is more funtional, then so be it.
