Once the voting starts then you can post more pics, but your official entry can only have 2 pics. I just got finished sending a PM to him.

Streetpirate, I though you had a 2" or so lift?

[hubs97xj]

The supercherokeebird was tempting, until he put black soft 8s on it. Silver, or royal blue, but not black. See how much faster it looks with silver wheels in this crude photoshop? :twak:

Congrats on the win.
I think it was the stylish supra spoiler, smurf paintjob and plethora of stickers that won-over the humble hearts of naxja's voters :D

[IXNAYXJ]

Thanks everybody. Here are some shots from last weekend where we took the Grand Prize at the Reno 24 Hour event:
