More than one photo can be submitted by each member but in separate posts. Otherwise only the first image is counted, vote are cast by liking an image.

Please use your original work rather than images lifted from Facebook or other social media, its a bit cheeky to try and win a competition off the back of someone else.

In event of a tie the winner will be randomly chosen from the tiebreakers.
Winners get a 'Photo Contest Winner' banner on their account


Vote for as many images as you like, unvote or dont vote. It’s your call, votes are cast by liking an image.

If you think of any other rules that should be included then let me know.

Images may be used for the forum social media accounts and appropriately credited, if you do not wish for this to happen then please state that when submitting your image.

The winning submission will receive

• $50 forum store credit as a not so grand prize
• a set of the Global Grenadier Calling Cards

I post the picture of my car stuck during the French Grenadier meeting end of June in Northern France, look also at my "scratches", also from previous travels in mainly Eastern Europe (Romania, Moldavia, Bosnia, Croatia, ...)

Quality of the pictures just keeps getting better and better every month.
Difficult not to vote for all but that would be pointless. Just keep on posting and assume you all have a thumbs up from me

Here you go. Here’s the first pic for me in the Smokey Mountains as I begin my journey from the DC Area out west. Headed to badlands, South Dakota, The Big thing event in Montana than Yellowstone, Moab and Telluride.

Imogene Pass, great trail, breathtaking views. Ouray, Colorado is a great place to explore and 4x4. Silverton, CO is pretty cool too. Did you make it to the Great Sand Dunes?

We didn't have time to make it to the Great Sand Dunes, but we did go there on a previous trip and it was beautiful! I agree, I love Ouray and the nearby trails. Silverton is also very cool and worth the drive!

Alright, my 2 week adventure continues from DC to the Smokey Mountains, to the Badlands, to Montana at the XOverland Ranch then to Teton and Yellowstone. Of course Moab and Telluride as we continue our way back east.

Awesome photos. Hope you’re enjoying your rig as much as I am. Coming from the rock-crawling world of Jeeps, I’ve been impressed with how capable these are.

Yeah, I had a little bit of an experience with some built-out Jeeps at the last portion (going up at the area in the first photo). They were ahead of me and got nervous so they spent about 15 min turning around (Austin Powers style). I was watching them from the bottom and assuming that the road must be blocked by snow that I couldn't see.

When they came down, I asked them if the trail was still open and they said yes but it looked to "hard core" (they were in Rubicons with 37's). After they cleared the trail, I went ahead with all diffs locked, and my mountain goat, I mean Grenadier, made it look like a walk in the park.

While on the top, two of them ended up deciding to turn around and give it a try and made it up. They were impressed how easy the Grenadier had made it look.

To be fair, all of those Jeeps could have easily conquered that last stretch, it wasn't that difficult. But it's easy to get psyched out when the view shows a very long drop if you screw it up. Particularly if you have to be the first to try it.
