i voted for rob because he can't fit on some trails and i feel bad.
 
4643: XJ hellaflush edition

I voted for the guy nearly as wide as my future tow rig
 
Man, Cottontail's rig is pretty sweet!:cheers:
 
Although I think it needs new wheels. ;)

She came with 16 inch rims, but my MTs were mounted on 15s from my '85. Didn't see a reason to get new tires! The '01 rims have street tires on them.
 
Another vote for Annie, mainly because I want one.
 
Tough call,..
clean 60th aniv. rig,.
Racer,..

Decisions, decisions.
 
its about time we win something. ;)

in all seriousness though, this ride was built by club members working together, and the congrats goes out to everyone.
 
Congrats Cal, Team NAXJA, the Petty Cash Racing guys, Goatman, All the folks that put lifonhold to get this rig to KOH 2012. This was truly a team built rig and I am thankful to have been a part of it.


CONGRATS on ROTM boys, like my dad always said, if it ain't gonna win it better damn well look pretty at least :D

Congratulations to team petty/naxja! I didn't suppose I'd win with that competition. It deserves it with all the NAXJA members who pitched in to make it happen.

Wait a sec, 3 votes? Compared to 17 in third place? WTF? You guys have no taste apparently. I'll trust a professional opinion ;).
