Since Ohiomutt has found an Encore (civilian mutt clone) and doesn't like the color (red) He decided he would like to know what you guys think.... :shock:

so take the poll and tell him what you think!

I voted white as you could use it as a base for zebra stripes. 8) 8) 8) :lol:

I suggest orange and also put a Transformer (Autobot) decal on the hood. It would look cool :wink:

That is one of the reasons why I was wanting one..... I see many improvements one can make to the design. Now if I can only get it into the shop. I can see myself making a few prototypes this summer....I'm sure Rick or you might be interested in one. I will be overlapping the steel. I have 3 winter projects and templates to make...oh where does my time go. :?

It wasn't one of the choices, but i think a nice urban camo scheme would look cool...

I'm stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls Texas.

Why, what's up?

The urban camo thing is real. I didn't make it up. I've seen real agencies use. It's used in MOUT environments.

Although as far as i know, the US doesn't officially list it yet as a part of the uniform inventory.

Now of course the pink camo and tires were just a tease. :wink:

The tires are real but i don't think they make them for jeeps.
