Damn right it's OK (with me anyway) to post it up on this Forum. The 2011 Colorado JKX got me hooked and I can only guess how exciting it must be to be named a participant in the 2013 premier JK event. Congrats!!:thumb::thumb:

I'm still in shock. I have 3 1/2 months to take my jeep from stock to JKX ready. Should be fun!

It's actually not as bad as you would think. Starting with a rubi already so just need a lift, 37's, winch and a sport cage. Those are the main things

Did you lie on the application when it asked what mods you have? I can't imagine them picking a stock rig in hopes that they would be modded in time. That already happened and didn't end well for said contestant.

Awesome!

Congratulations on being chosen for an epic event! On two different JKX's we had guys basically finish the build of their jeep and then the JKX was ultimately the shakedown run for the build.
-The first individual was hard headed, knew it all, confrontational with everyone, never accepted help from anyone, his rig stayed broken and he may have only wheeled a total of two full days out of a week, trailered it the rest of the time and had to bypass everything to get to the next meet up spot for the night and sometimes didnt even make those link ups. The worst part to me was that his co-driver was an awesome person, I would have had him in my rig if there would have been room. It sucks that guy missed out on very cool stuff because the primary driver was less than likeable.
-The second guy was a true sport. He did his build right, not half-assed. Took part in everything, helped others out and had a great time. He could park in my campsite any day!

I'm sure almost everyone that has participated in any JKX would own up to last minute upgrades or fixes on the night before day 1, I will attest to that on my three JKX's, I had little things to do before and thought each event ;)

Nope didn't lie one bit and I told Mel when he called that my vehicle is stock. But I will have it done in time and I like to think I'm a true sport ;)

I've been curious, is there a large number of applicants and Mel just chooses at random or are all the people chosen the only people who submitted an application

There are now hundreds and hundreds of applicants, and only Mel truly knows the secret to the selection process. I think its still pretty cool that its all a secret and mystery to the madness.
