The past year we have done a couple contests here and I am thinking lets do another. To refresh your memory we did a "tech contest" and a "project contest" we narrowed down the best ones and had you guys vote on them for a winner. We have such great vendors here on PBB that they have supported these and gave away nice stuff. I have talked to a few vendors and I can get something nice to giveaway. Now we just need an idea for a contest. So bust out your ideas:D and I will get one rolling.

ROll cage design?

how about who has done the least amount of work on their rig in the last year:D

How about "Fastest Build"...I missed out on the "Project Contest"

How about worst carnage after a run, maybe even submit before and after pic's. :D

how about worst mod on your cruiser (no pics off ebay). Winner determined by who is made the most fun of :D

how about who has enslaved young kids to work on their rig for no money but in exchange for a grade:D

what about a cool photo contest. have someone weed out the worst, then post the finalists up and have a poll.

Depends on the prize too me, if its something like hydro assist or high steer just make the contest where the guy with a 4 wheel steer buggy get's it. Think of the little people, when the prize is decided give it to the most worthy.

ex. High steer as the prize = pictures of broken steering arms.

just my idea:grinpimp:

The fastest build sounds good.:D

fastest build is so relative though. If you have a ton of $$$ and throw it in a shop that is focused on your rig, or if you have lots of your own time, it can happen fast. I did my SOA and motor conversion in about 3 months, while working 60 hour weeks. It almost killed me. :D

the "shade tree mechanic award" sounds too good to pass up.:laughing:

Well i can tell you how long it took me and a friend to do a soa on a rig that had not run in 20 years. About 6 days & the 7th day took it to Rubithon 2005. Day 1 - installed lockers at home > day 2 - cut and turn at Bill's.

how about fastest carnage. i have 3 seperate trips that have been completly ruined in the first hour.

i helped a friend do a 350 tbi conversion on his fj60. 2.5 days from pulling it into his garage (at his parents house, not at a shop) to driving it back out under it's own power. :smokin:

No, I killed my rig in the driveway...

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!:D

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!:D
:flipoff2:


I am gearing my 60 to kill everyone...

I wanna win this one. I lost the buildup thread cause I could not find a radiatior :rolleyes:

I could not find a radiatior :rolleyes:


yeah, i hear those are hard to find.

but a radiator should have been easy to come by!:laughing:

Man..do I have a ton of ideas...

Worst paint..
Biggest pile of bent leaf springs..
Whoever rolls over the most Memorial day weekend..
Most creative use of bungee cords...
Most able to weld rust repeatedly into something resembling sheetmetal...

I have one of thous Mudrak improved bungee cord on my throttle return spring. Mudrak put it on him self last year when I lost mine going up cadillac hill.

Not a good place for that to happen!

I will have to take a pic of it. It works so good I have not replaced it yet.

The most amount of rollovers in a month

The distance between creative reuse of parts and booty fab is a variable one, measured across a wet floor covered with spilled beer!

Let the games begin!:flipoff2:

one of my fellow rock dogs broke a birf 20 ft from the trail entrance.....

T'aint nothing......I have twice, 3 years apart.....
suffering major carnage on the first obstacle of the same trail....3 Stage in Clayton
1st time
T case, rear pinion (coarse spline), winch
2nd time
Rear pinion:eek: (fine spline) and RF Longfield........ironic part, the first time I climbed it was in a bone stock 73 FJ40 open at both ends with 31" street tires........

20ft i got him on that one after 2.5 years the cruiser was good to go 37" mtrs locked front and rear. I got escited in reverse forgot my hubs were locked and with my twin stick forgot 4 wheel low. Broke 2 count em 2 before my front tire reached where my rears were. Now have chromos in there but no long's. If this conntest is for longs i'll roll my cruiser for em.... for the roloover prize......most rollovers never said where how many you want

I want to fix my weak links if the contest isn't for that i'm not one of those guys looking to win something i dont need thats why i had my previous idea

I think the tech contest and the build up contest were so good because it helps the cruiser section and makes it worth while to come into again. Too bad we are not all local to each other because we could see who could build the cheepest most capable cruiser. Maybe we still could but it would just be harder to prove :D

My next project is a 67 45lpb from the ground up. We can have a contest between orange45 and me to see how can finish first, "Isabel" or "Trail Tugger".

sweet! you gonna do the 350 tbi conversion, automatic, 60s, hydro assist, ......

I have been looking for a 70 rear and a 60 front and my 400 to 205t/c is going in with my 383 sbc tbi. Just have to wait for the wife to get back to work.:smokin: "Project Trail Tugger"
