Coolest Reading Places, Support Our Troops Edition
These enthusiastic 4WOR readers are (from left) Master at Arms 2nd Class Mark Everline and Master at Arms 3rd Class Scott Armstrong of the U.S. Navy. Armstrong sent us the photos and a note from the Middle East, where he’s “missing my ’96 Cherokee back home just as much as ever. When I’m not deployed or reading the magazine, I’m back home in Port Jervis, New York, wheeling all over New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania with my buddies, finding new trails and crossing rivers or new mud pits to make sure my snorkel is still airtight and my winch still works.”
Armstrong’s baby has a 4-inch Rough Country lift, 31-inch Super Swampers on 15-inch Cragars, a Warn 9500 winch, custom front and rear bumpers, and removable doors with plug-and-play trailer hitch connectors to disconnect the electronics in the door. “Still a project, not quite done yet,” he says.
If you’re in the service and a 4WOR fan, send a high-res photo of yourself and the magazine, plus some details about where and with what you wheel back home, to 4wheeloffroad@sorc.com.
Best Photo Ever
It’s got the Pep Boys, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, and a Willys that needs a little air. What else can we say?
