All Hail The Pie King!

Just thought I'd share a little bit of some personal news. This last week we spent almost every night manning our booth at the Shelby County Fair, here in Columbiana, Alabama. Now if you ain't from around here, the county fair is the real deal. We're not just talkin' rides, games and greasy food. Oh, no, the county fair's got exhibits and competitions for everything from livestock to canning to quilts to photography and, my favorite, baked goods.

Since last year, I sort of joked about entering a pie in the county fair. I mean, really, though, could a Jeep shop owner actually stand a chance against seasoned white-haired ladies?

I decided to find out.

So, last Sunday I spent about five hours baking pies. I entered an apple pie and a pumpkin pie. Judging was on Monday - the first day of the fair.

I won...twice!

That's right, this ol' grease monkey took 2nd place for my apple pie and 3rd place for my pumpkin pie.

Oh, and as a bonus, our booth with my Jeep in it, took a 3rd place ribbon, too!

Yes, that's right, he can build a 4x4, chain saw a tree or bake a really yummy pie.

Hunting Season is Here - Now Carrying CamoWraps

Hunting season is upon us and down here in the South, it's very evident. We are now a CamoWraps dealer and can get anything you want, from full wraps, to accent kits to decals. We've used the competition and we like the look of the CamoWraps print the best.

CamoWraps comes in all of the favorite patterns like Realtree and Mossy Oak and many more.

You can view all of the patterns here:

Just let us know what you want and we'll get it right out. Most kits ship within 48 hours. Of course, you can also bring your rig to the shop for us to install it for you.

Oh We're Media Nerds Today

Today, we bring you two very exciting glimpses into the world of 4x4ROCKSHOP. That's right!

First up is a webcam we're testing out. You'll have to use Internet Explorer and download a quick little plug-in but it only takes a minute. Sometimes you'll find something interesting - other times you may just see an empty counter, a dark shop or our hummingbird feeder. It's pot luck. I'll try not to do anything obscene when I walk by. Check it out here.

The other is our new commercial that was shot to air on our local high school team's football replays they show on cable tv. Yes, football's that big around here that they play the high school games on tv!

It's fun and will give you a little idea of what the shop is like.

Now Offering Bug Out Bagz!

You may have seen these in some of the outdoors and 4WD magazines lately. Bug Out Bagz are here at 4x4ROCKSHOP!

These guys have taken all of the thought out of figuring out what to put in the bag in case everything goes to #*@! on the trails. This is some of the essential stuff you'll need to stay hydrated and in one piece while you hike out to safety.

They offer several packages and we'll be adding more as we go. If there's something you want that you don't see here, ask!

Check it out here.
