    It's been a few months since I've had a chance to do anything to the main page of the site, and now that wheeling season is pretty much over I can devote a little more time to upkeep of the site.

    What do you guys wanna see?

    One thought I've had is a Rig of the Month type contest where we highlight a rig from the Journals section. I'd like to get some more product reviews rolling or some tech articles, but those take a bit of time and money that I may not be able to invest at this point.

    I think that a rig of the month would be pretty cool to see, or even a picture from the calender.

    You should spotlight a different newb every month. Get them to offer their opinion on something they have no experience with in 1000 words or more. Disqualify them if they use proper grammar or punctuation. Require them to include flex shots of that gnarly driver's side all terrain on grandma's flower planter. These guys are mallcrawlin's greatest untapped resource.

    Frankly, "you guys" already do that for us.

    I'm going to have to agree with Derek - boobs.

    Might not be a bad idea to make it a bit more obvious than it is that this is:

    1: A site for GCs
    2: A site for advanced to hardcore GCs
    3: A site where you get your balls cut off and handed to you when you ask how to install a BB

    Edit: And bewbies

    If you log out and then view the main page you should see something along those lines. Without bewbs though . . .

    The only time a picture of a Jeep on pavement has been on the front page is the shot of Kraqa's ZJ crushing a shopping cart, and someone will have to top that before it happens again!

    I think you should have Pics that didn't make the calander but were still good... Also maybe do something where people submit their craziest carnage and or "woops" pics and you post the craziest/funniest/most educational ones on the main page (i.e This is what happens when you run 35s on a 35... That would be crazy, funny AND educational :rofl )

    I changed up the newbie intro a bit, adding the picture of Kris crushing the shopping the cart too. Maybe it'll get the point across a bit better.

    I'll dig through some pics that I've got and see if I can come up with a good pic to put up there for everyone else to see too until I can get a Rig Of the Month or something else going.
