Rig of the Fortnight (ROTF) Sign ups
We stopped doing ROTWs (Rig of the Week) a year ago because . . . . well .... people stopped signing up. Threads were up for weeks. Some suggested a Rig of the Month. Thinking thats too long so we will go for a fort-night, which is a period of fourteen days (2 weeks)
If your new to the forum this is a great way to introduce yourself and your rig to the membership and get great feedback and where you started and where you might be going.
The idea here is to bi-weekly have a member post up pics of their truck, with list of modifications and/or any special goodies. Also hopefully they will include the intended purpose of their truck (expedition, street, rock crawler etc).
And as always thanks for contributing.
Check out one of the ROTW threads in the link below. These are also in the FAQ.
IH8MUD Forums - View Single Post - FAQ for 80/LX450 - July 24, 2008 - Added LSPV Modification
Feel free to also update your ROTW on what you have done

I was REALLY waiting until I got a lift on my rig to do a ROTW or ROTF as it is now called. But since this thing might die off before I ever get my lift I might as well show all the N3WBS that you can wheel it stock! 
Let me go in May, maybe I will get something for the rig for my B-Day in April! :?

Put me down Ken.

Who ever is ready to go, just go for it. Not sure I will put up a schedule. Thinking if its time and someone wants to do it, if not this will die to

Ok, I haven't done $#!+ to my rig in the last year, but that isn't my point .
This isn't just for heavily modified rigs. This is for everyone that owns an 80. If you have an 80, post a little bio and some pics. It let's everyone put a name to the face, so to speak. When you post on other topics, most of us will think, "hey I remember that guy (or gal) from ROTF"
What's the worst that could happen? You get a little friendly praise and encouragement? How terrible would that be?
So get out there, make a stand and make yourself known dammit

I will be glad to do mine in Oct/Nov. Right now I just have a room full of parts at my parents place and others being built. I have so much to do when I get back. But count me in.
