Get out of here with that nonsense, that's not true at all. I have JCR all over my rig and I use it, except my quarter guards(they haven't found a tree yet). I don't have fab skills but I did bolt everything on! :laugh3:

That makes you sound like such an elitist asshole. Are you just saying this because you're pissed that you're last in the voting, or just because you are insecure and you wanted to take a crap on everyone's Jeep, just so you can feel better about yourself?

Guys with the ability, time, space, tools and resources to design and build their own rigs are awesome. I have a lot of respect for them.

You know who else are awesome? Guys with good paying jobs who choose to let professional fab shops build their rigs so they know they have a safe and dependable rig.

You know who aren't awesome? Guys who talk bad about the other type of guy.

Simple rules to live by:
If it don't bolt on, it don't go on!

If you have to fab, it ant fabulous!

Knucklehead 61 got my vote, only because his other rig has some cool bolt on parts, but he still drives it like a knucklehead!

If you were really good you would go make all the componets that are used to build a Jeep then work the assembly line putting it all together. That way you could say your Jeep was built by you....... :gee:
