CherokeeCajun Build - '17 MGM 4x4 Sport

** 100+ Mod Club **
* 1/2 Pavement Princess - 1/2 Manual Labor *

May not be climbing rocks, and no impractical overcompensation lift, but I do landscaping for a living so the rig is always hauling brush, building fences, moving dirt, etc.
However, don't think he doesn't get a wash and vacuum every Friday after a week or working in red dirt country.

Every great truck has a name and this rig is appropriately named Bo... wide & low, grey & black, and full beastmode. Got the 90s Raiders vibe! We're some outdoor fools and Bo can get the fam around with the quads, to the camping/fishing spots, or we can throw the shell on and hit mountains/slopes with ski gear in tow. Still, I don't claim to be a REAL offroader. You're more likely to catch this truck at the little league fields than jumping boulders and I have no shame in Bo's pavement princess blood. We own it with confidence.

Feel free to give me a shout with any questions or how-to tips. Happy to help! I go for the mean & clean, de-chrome & de-sticker, full blackout mods for looks and add-on gear for functionality at work & on weekends. Enjoy!
