Hello! I am from the Coast of North Carolina. I am an Active Duty Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I wheel ALOT! Most of the money I make pays my bills, and goes into my truck. Here are some pictures of my hunk of junk.

These are pictures of the build-up....... It took about 4 days to get the lift put on.

Budbuilt cross-member and a Marlin 4.70 gear set.

Then we build the tube bed, and installed some 35x10.50 boggers and rock sliders

All painted and ready to roll

Roll Bar is out of a full size chevy, and was cut down to fit my junk. The flat steel is 3/8 and came for free off of the base.

Installed my Marlin Twin Sticks

Took It wheeling for her first time:

Thank you...... IT's made out of some old ass schedule 40 that was a grape vine for the last 20 years, but it's held up GREAT!

If you all are like me, then you love to see pics. Sorry if this is too many. I will keep you all posted on the adventures of the John Deere Yota. I have just about destroyed my beautiful 2nd Gen in a matter of 8 months. I am currently having the top chopped off and a cage being built.

Here is myself and my Co-pilot

Hey hows it going? I'm a SGT. down here at lejeune I'm guessing your in the wing.. or a tanker? wait tankers got m4s or 9's.. air wing? I'm leaving in a few weeks to Pendleton but I can be caught wheeling the tank trails in and around french creek... all i got here is a stock 97 runner so my trials have been kinda limited due to wheeling alone

What's up brother. Yes I am with the wing. 10 years. You will not catch me on the tank trails due to the fact that I like Rocks and Hate Mud. Wish I had known that you wheel alone. I would have invited you on a run with WWW.NCTTORA.COM. This is where I hang out. Awesome group of guys. See ya on the trails. Good luck in Cali.

This rig goes good in the mud! As for those 9 Plugs and splitting carcass...they are in the back of the HoRunner as we speak.
