Colorado Get together 4/16<<<The official thread!

[Sparky J]

Bagels it is. Cant wait!!

[bustedcrawler]

Cool Cool, I'm in. I'm just sure as hell not using Jason's fubar directions!!!

[BENDER]

You guys better eat more then just bagels, if you expect to hang with the almighty Roctapus!!

Plan sounds good so far, I don't think anyone will bother us. Last weekend people were interested in the rigs, and very friendly.

[Grizzly4x4]

I dont have any Moabs.

[Vitamin_J]

at least your rigs in one piece.

So it sounds like this is going to be a get together more that a competition and the area will be iffy at best as to whether or not there is snow or mud. And there is a good chance that we'll be kicked out of the area due to angry hippies :-)

Angry hippies piss me off!

dont worry, got 75% of it done today. new links (broke about 30 taps before i realized that a little 3in1 household oil makes it much easier), new mounts, new 4-link set-up, new wiring, new everything really.

i mis-measured though, i was aiming for about 16.5" WB, but it turns out to be more like 17" to 17.5". too long?? according to SparkyJ, longer is better. we'll see.

oh, need a new body, thinking 1/8th scale H2, yellow with black flames.....

I'd say give it a wirl. I'm sure you wont be disapointed. Plus now you'll be the only one that can keep up with the big dog!!

[BigTex]

HHHell, we do anough getin together, I'm up for the comp unless these guys are a little worried. I think we'll be fine out there! We can walk out back a little further past the climbers. Plenty of sweet lines for a great bash comp, but just bring spare parts. And guys I'm a hippie from back in the day!!!

[bigfoot]

sweet i cant wait!! all of you guys get to meet THE REBEL so i guess i will see you there!!

[Plays_with_Toys]

I want a comp. by the end of the day too. I want some numbers for my rig.

Also, I'll be bringing the digi-cam for some movie makin' and I'll be bringing some extra chassis plates for anyone that wants to take a look-see. My girlfriend should be coming out too, and she says she wants to drive my truck in the comp. as well I told her she was welcome to beating you guys.

We'll definitely have a comp too, I'll bring my balls. :-P There's plenty of room to play and compete at the same time if we want.

Tell your girl to BRING IT ON!!

[Skippy]

Well I am in. I got home at 3:30 and worked to 12 last night and still am not done with my truck, and I got 1 other to build and a plane this week. But see you guys for there. If there are snow issues. I am dry up here, but a little muddy.

[DirkDigler]

Name one time that all of us had a "get together" and it didn't turn into a flaming competition?
I guarantee the tennis balls will break out and the comp will be ON!!!

[jason]

Hey everyone Dirk just called me and said he was buying the bagels! Woohoo!

Right. I think Einstien Brothers sells 3 week old bagels for 5 cents a piece. They are kinda crunchy but they clean you teeth just like a dog biscuit.
