This is all I stayed for today. They also ran the hill climb but I over heard Ned Bacon saying it was going to be lame so I did not stay for that and the ride and drive. Going back later so more pics then.

Phil:usa:

Mud Truck surprised me with it's flex and scared the shit out of everyone when it gave out three huge backfires when he shut it down:D

I got over 250 pics from yesterday, but nothing too exciting - just rig pics

Frog busted less than one minute from when he unloaded from his trailer, I got a video clip but I gotta upload it all from my camera still. He got it fixed but that is a rough start!

How did the canucks with the red cheby do on the ramp?

I think it is Jason? Gawd I am bad at names but mudtruck has no rock experience but his truck seems to work well, although I have a feeling the carb is gonna get him..

Lotsa propane rigs there. I dunno, the "bronco" has my pick but who knows. What I will say is I spend the day chit chattin and I'd be glad to share the trail with any of em, great group of guys!

Very true. Thanks for the pics and keep them coming :)

How about an update on Team Abba?

How are you guys getting in, I'd like to head down Thursday and help out team Abba, if you get a chance see if they need anything and I'll bring it.

Joe

Before we get twenty seven posts about TTC, i say the moderator makes this a sticky so all info about TTC goes into one post. Oh, that was a suggestion by the way. :D

my rig seems small now:emb4: :emb4: :emb4: :emb4: :emb4:

Good idea on making this a sticky. That looks like a 30 degree ramp? Am I correct?

Abba was making a new trac bar on Monday, nuttin like fabbin on location :)

Nice Scout, HUGE!

Yes

Brandon, how did the Bronco do? Did they make John cover the Fat City stickers? Eric is supposed to call but i aint holding my breath. And what did the frog break so early?

Are they using this ladder to get in and out of some of the rigs?

Does the Exaxt K5 have 42" TSL's on it? I remember seeing it with 44" tires. That ground clearance looks sick!
Tell me more about the ride with the Michilin's and Rockwell's. I don't remember seeing it in the magazine.

it looks like the mog truck managed to get some swampers for the event.. that should help him way better than the dick cepek's .... I hope the canadian's take the trophy!

Rob (Exaxt K5) yanked out the plastic and bought a set of 44" TSLs just before he left. The tires look great on the truck.

Damn, the clearance under the Hulk (Mog Blazer) is wicked !!

Glad to see it on Swampers...

They're all so very cool!

They made him take them off :(

Everyone knows it as the Fat City Bronco, but they did make em take em off..

well I just went to upload them and it seems Lance changed the ftp password on me again, or I am typing it wrong but I tried a bunch of times ???

Someone got some space I can use, I don't have near enough space on RCRC

a teaser

most of my pics are close ups of suspension etc since they really didn't do anything Monday, I can't wait to see the comp pics!

Damn they have some flexy rigs this year. Anyone else remember when Pewe was the only one to max out the test? TTC just brings to mind how far things have come in the last few years. Damn I feel old.

Wish I coulda stayed for the comp, I know Sam at SRC took my spot and I am sure he will be taking pics so watch for them at SRC..

TTC Rigs (http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/TrailReports/TTC2002/thumbs.html)

doh! I screwed up, lemme fix it..

Pics are still uploadin though

brandon heres free web hosting and the links work for pirate
CLICK HERE (http://dkg.elmo-the-dog.com/)

you gotta make an account kinda thing, some people have not had the best of luck with it but its always worked for me. lemme know if you need help with it

ok, fixed - sort of. Nuttin fancy, but some interesting stuff

I like what that mudtruck did, actually all the rigs except the fat city bronco look like they were made in the garage - no knockin em but lotsa of good stuff to get ideas from!

Check out that coil trick, drops down when the coil is fully extended

http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/TrailReports/TTC2002/TTC_204.jpg

BTW I got hi-res pics of all these if anyone wants em..

big thanks for eveyone that IM'd me with account info - but I got it covered. Good to know next time I can fire off 2x as many pics and have somewhere to put em ;)

check it out, I put my wife's parents jeep in the ditch too LOL

http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/TrailReports/TTC2002/TTC_208.jpg

that was my favorite pic, had a blast in the bronco doin tight turns, crab walk, etc.

http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/TrailReports/TTC2002/TTC_146.jpg

the driver of the orange jeep is jerry cantrell. i think his spotter is phil beauchamp could be doug stacy(not sure who went out there with him). I dont think he has an email or web site. i could be wrong though. he owns C.O.R.E. in oklahoma city, good offroad shop for those of you in the area

I can flex that much!:flipoff2:

By the way, big thanks to Toby Harrel (sp?) the guy with the hat in that pic above for the invite. Matt from West Texas off road (aka lakerat) invited me to be part of his time, he was alternate #1 and unfortunately for him everyone showed up :(

Matt is spotting for the MudTruck, a truck that I was impressed with - especially for a guy that drove out here with his mom!

That 'Yota is VERy impressive!!!!:eek:

did the BIG red scout show up?? dont see him in the pics, and who the hell is that Yellow and Purple YJ??:confused:

That shit really pisses me off. A few years back they let the sniper run his avalanche stickers. Fawkin politics. Oh well, all he has to do is take off the door skins. But oh the mud slush.
