Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: tcdawg on April 04, 2013, 08:49:45 PM: My plan is to get there about 10 or so to give blood and check out whatever is going on. Lunch at Williamson Brothers, noon or so.

Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: RD Slyter on April 05, 2013, 06:46:10 AM: Is the idea that GATR will be there through out the time this is going on, (actually hosting the drive) or is it someone else simply looking for donations? Just curious because we're trying to figure out what time would be best to arrive. We'd be more than happy to help out with things as well if that's what we're doing.
Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: cru9 on April 05, 2013, 07:10:14 AM: No. There is a other club that sponsors this we just want GATR to make a BIG appearance. This is strictly a blood drive , jeep show and M&G. Last year they had a RTI ramp you could play on.

Post by: BigJerm on April 05, 2013, 09:02:32 AM: I might make this one. I remember back when it first started at the BassPro parking by Discover Mills

Post by: BigBlue98 on April 06, 2013, 08:41:28 PM: Is there a way I can get a shirt before the event??? Or at the event?? Ill bring cash for it!!!!
Size is Large!!! Thanks and can't wait to meet every one!!

Post by: RD Slyter on April 07, 2013, 07:19:11 AM: So, what time does everyone want to arrive?
10 sounds good to me.
Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: spooledyou08 on April 07, 2013, 02:53:53 PM: I would like to come too. I am not a CORE member yet, and I also do not have a shirt.
Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: BlueJew on April 09, 2013, 05:33:36 PM: I might head up there since it is only about 20 mins from my house and that Williamson bros BBQ is the shiznit. I cant give any blood but do they accept monetary donations?
Title: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: cru9 on April 09, 2013, 07:26:22 PM: I will be there between 9:30 and 10

Awesome. Same as last year, always funny to watch. We must have left just when the goofballs were getting on the ramp.

Post by: BigJerm on April 14, 2013, 08:49:57 AM: What's your wheelbase? Yours did flex better than some of those rigs that pulled up. I listened to people yesterday talking about the possible winners and I think a lot of them forgot that the distance measured is only part of the equation. That big dodge truck went way up on the ramp but he also had a long wheelbase. Someone else here will probably know but I think score is determined by length on ramp divided by wheelbase and then multiplied by like a 1000 or something

Post by: BigJerm on April 14, 2013, 09:40:09 AM: The aussie locker made no difference on the RTI ramp. But it will change your rig off road and make you wonder why you waited to do it for something so cheap and easy to install

The Aussie Locker probably helped him crawl up a bit further, I have tried climbing RTI ramps without lockers on and only get 90% flexed. I watched a TJ just yesterday struggle climbing an RTI ramp his lower side tire kept wanting to spin.

Post by: ATLSRT8 on April 14, 2013, 10:53:23 AM: I should have stayed and see what mine would have done. I was just parking on it so no one would mess with it. Interested to see how the metalcloak with 6pack shocks would have done
Title: Re: Re: APRIL 13, 2013 MUD FOR BLOOD EVENT - DISCUSSION
Post by: BigJerm on April 14, 2013, 11:33:57 AM: I just dont see it. Tires are on concrete so traction is max. When your tires start to slip and you lose traction that means your tire is light and about to come off the ground. RTI measurements are done when all 3 are on the ground so climbing to the point of lifting a tire when locked and backing down to set all 3 down would be the same as no lockers and a tire spinning as it starts to come off the ground

Not bad for a stock vehicle. You can't beat what you get with a Rubicon package. I can't wait till it get her lifted and some bigger tires. //SLAMIN//
