You will notice a 'Rank' category located under my profile data, to the left of this post. This is a profile entry that can only be changed by admins. The goal of the 'trail experience rank' is to show at a glance the experience of our members. At the same time it is designed to push the members to attain the next rank and give people a motivation to for post trail and trip write-ups.
Currently there are 6 attainable ranks (not including the default "Mall Rated"):
- Trail Ready: Posted proof of at least one off highway trip.
- Offroad Rated: Lifted truck and posted proof of at least 3 off highway trips, one of which should be considered non-stock passable trail.
- Offroad Guide: Has guided and posted at least three trail rides with numerous vehicles, has experience in vehicle recovery.
- Extreme Offroader: Has posted trips that include some of the most difficult trails known to GMT360s. These trails would be equivalent to 4.5 on our trail rating scale.
- Expedition Rated: Anyone who has posted trips of over 6 nights involving off road travel and logistics.
- Expedition Guide: Anyone who has posted a trip of over 6 nights involving off road travel and logistics and has guided and posted at least three trips with numerous vehicles and has experience with vehicle recovery.
- posted proof = A trail* summary thread on ORTB with details of where, who, and pictures!
*trail = Off-road park or forest/desert trail. Slinging mud in a pit in your back yard does not count.
IF YOU FEEL YOU FIT UNDER ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH RANK YOU FEEL YOU DESERVE, AND POST THE APPROPRIATE LINKS TO THE WRITE-UPS AND YOUR BUILD THREAD WITH YOUR POSTED REQUEST. We will not keep track of your trail records!
