Right on!!! That makes me feel better.

Alright talked to a few people and this is the plan.

Riverdale Park at 108th and Colorado.


Directions from the Colorado atlas:
Basic directions are take I-25 to 104th ave, go east to colorado blvd. Take colorado blvd north to the first stoplight and go east 2 blocks



Course set up will start at 8:00 am and event will start at 10:00 am.

As before everyone please add up there own scale points before the event.

You can either post them in this thread or have them the day of the event.

And this time we are going to try a really, really simple scoring method that Grizz came up with. It will be explained on the day of the event.

Hope everyone can make it, and I can't wait.

If there are any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

[TURTLE]

Here are the scale points:

Bed rollbar/headache rack -2
Sliders -3
Hardbody -8
Drop bed -3
Inner fender wells -1
Bumpers -6
Stinger -1
Realistic exterior items -6
Functional items -6
= -36

Awesome! I've been trying to talk C*H*U*D into getting his waterproofing done on the 1.9. This is just the fuel I need to get him to commit.

If you would like to get the maximuim of 6 points I believe it is 6. 1 point per item... Im pretty sure.

Great news guys. At least I will beat two people.

[Grizzly4x4]

I told Juan I will run Pepe with 1.9 reduced Rok Loxs if he will go. So it's gonna be a 1.9 stampede this week.

Just gotta get to cutting up some tires tonight.

[Rogue]

Hell, if everyone is going to go 1.9, I may throw on my boggers on the Rock Rat and see how they do with too much power and 4WS.

My points haven't changed still 38

I'm trying to get my rig waterproofed... Quick ? What do you guys do with the vent holes in your wheels? Do you cover them up so no water gets to the foams? Seems like water would ruin foams quick. Thanks.

I use Dap silicone on all of my electrical boxes, grease on the servo horn gear. As far as tires go, I just leave the vent holes open. Once I'm done I squeeze as much water as I can out and call it good. Best method I suppose would be to not allow any water in, or take the tires and wheels apart and let the foams dry out.

[toka100]

Lol I will be running 1.9 too. Going to put on a fresh coat of paint on the jeep just to scratch it up.

Normally I just let the tires fill up with water. It's like free weight.

I have one set of wheels with no vent holes and one set that I can plug with a 3mm screw.

Right on, it's gonna be a 1.9 free for all!!!

[lone wolf]

if you seal your wheels, doesn't that effectively turn them into balloons in water? I would think that would kill traction and make you really top heavy in the deep stuff. I'm building a TTC now but have no experience with them. Just trying to educate myself before a build instead of after this time. lol
