If you are referring to the yellow '97 XD-that is Ho Chung's (one of the moderators and site founders). I believe the winch bumper is a Rover Solutions manufactured by Kyle Van Tassel (another moderator and site founder). http://www.roversolutions.com |

Aaron, this is top secret info, so don't tell anyone. He's perfecting a virtual reality program for an off roading simulator. Do you believe me???  |

Speaking of off-road simulators, anyone play 4x4 Evolution 2? |

I play Insane racing all the time. Huge line up of Rovers available from private creators. There is a D90 (called a Cairo due to legal reasons) that comes with the game and you can get RR, Series, and D110, tons of skins and loads of tracks. http://www.d-90.com/insane/ The problem is finding the game itself. Its not produced anymore by the vendor but you can get re-release copies off ebay. Another one is Screamer4x4. Has better details, a tad tougher to control, and only has one Rover (a series). |

That looks pretty cool. Think I'll have to go search ebay for a bit. Wished 4x4Evo had Rovers. Their graphcs is amazing, very life like. They use actual specs from the mfrs for their trucks (I guess permission too) so every truck drives differently. You can shift between hi and low, locked, unlocked, front or rear wheel drive and you can modify the trucks like crazy. Swap engines, carbon fiber panels, exhausts, lifts, shocks, lights, etc...pretty much any mod you want, you can do...provided you have enough money. The developers are all into wheeling so they paid a lot of attention to detail. On different camera shots you can see the driver turning the wheel in the proper direction when you turn the wheel, backup lights come on, all that stuff and the fun thing is that it's playable over then Internet. Thanks for the tip on the other game Chris. I'll go poke around ebay for a bit. If anyone has 4x4Evo, let me know and I'll go "virtual" wheeling with you!  |

Insane can be internet multi-player as well although I never have tried it. |

Jamie, I guess I have to believe you. For years I have tried to figure it out. Here is what I know so far. 1. Travels a lot for extended time as seen in Dweb videos and some of his discussion posts. 2. On the computer all the time, just try to slide something by him. 3. Long hair (no offense Kyle but your not exactly banker or fortune 500 material by the looks again from video) 4. Possibly was a teen prankster and more or less shit disturber 5. Knows a lot about computers (hell I have a hard time trying to get my pics posted to my profile.) 6. Seems to know everything about everything ( I guess that's why some call him the dweb rover god) 7. Never short on answers or for that matter confrontation. 8. Seems to bring a great wealth of information to the web about rovers and offroading. So given what I know from observation, I would say it is a good possibility. Maybe they will put it on the Moab DVD when it comes out. (Hint Hint.) |
