    Big event hosted by Titan Off Road at Windrock Park in Oliver Springs, TN. St. Pattya day weekend. Registration is open now. If you really want to wheel at all skill levels for days on end, meet some great people, and possibly win some huge prizes (bumpers, full suspensions etc) then get your assets there.

    That thing rules!!

    I'm definitely following this thread.

    It reminds me of the Top Gear Bolivia Special, James May had a red Samurai, and it was ALMOST unstoppable.
