My first rig was an MJ with an interior cage. I should have done and EXO but didn't like the way they looked. Within a year my MJ looked like a raisin so when I decided to build another one I went the EXO route. I had always planned to run a bar down the drip rail then tie it into the...

A few pics from Saturday ride at Bearwallow

Headed down to Bearwallow (HMT Trail system) and opened up Shaft, one of the trails we scouted last fall. I was following a linked turbo powered buggy on 42's, my little half ton XJ showed them why we love these rigs so much. https://youtu.be/wNcmxGhGnN4
