Good turn out, got to show up and buy some parts, shake some hands and meet some people, back in the truck and back home.

This is my first post here so I'll do an informal introduction here and do another later.

This weekend my wife bought my anniversary present at the W4W auction.

I had other plans on what I wanted to build and this level never entered my mind. I have one bad ass wife who never ceases to amaze me.

I am very experianced in most all aspects of the drive train since I've built a couple drag cars years ago and have been a professional mechanic for over 3 decades. What I don't know is the suspension and other aspects for the rock crawlers that sets them apart from street cars. Now the research and learning begins.

A very huge thanks to Jduck for an awesome build on this frame and the rest of the crew at Morris Mountain for making this event a massive success.

Congratulations on the upcoming build.

Alternator issues sidelined the XJ at lunch on Saturday. Still had a blast watching everyone else beat on their rigs.

A BIG thank you to all who made this possible. My family & I cant wait until next year.

Congrats, it sounds like the chassis is going to a good home.

mdo817 · May 28, 2017

Congratulations Chris. Let the fun begin and the bank account go south!!

This year we had a friggin' awesome turnout, I would have liked to put some faces to some names on here. For anyone that might wonder who I am, I was the Old Guy wearing the Safety Green "Staff" shirt Saturday. We will post money numbers up very soon after Jamie "Son of s Jeep" and I finish totaling things up. It's going to be good though.

Attendance Numbers were as Follows:
Friday Sign Ins:
Spectator/Passenger - 42
Driver - 91

Saturday:
Spectator/Passenger - 60
Driver - 101

Total: - 294

Thanks to everyone in attendance and for your continued support, this was the 10th anniversary and probably the biggest. Looking forward to next year already. :woot:

There is a ton of suspension tech. on here if you can wade through all the pointless threads. Just do a little searching.

I took exactly zero pics, but if someone has 1 or two of the leaf sprung xj on 44's I'd appreciate it

I took one picture when we unloaded and didn't take another all weekend. :dunno:

jrhall · May 29, 2017

Saw a facebook video of my old jeep bouncing around

mna0121 · May 29, 2017

Did anyone make the left side of Copperhead? I was denied but saw a couple of epic beat downs on it but didn't personally see anyone make it. Also saw several flops on the right side of Copperhead and a couple of great reverse saves there. Had a great time, drove back on the trailer Sunday morning. Thanks to all that have served and are serving. RTR

sonofajeep · May 31, 2017

Thanks to all that came out and supported the ride this year.
Congrats to Chris on winning the wife lottery and the chassis from JDuck.
I would like to thank Ting' for all the help and for sticking it out for 10 YEARS helping keep this event going. And of course for the Mohawk tradition year after year.
We are still waiting on a few donations that are coming in and for the credit card money to drop in. Afterwards, we will post up a total. I will tell you this...it's the largest amount
raised yet. Thank you to MGO Steve, Robo, Jesse, Tripp, Rob, Logan, and others who came up without a rig just to help work and take some of the stress from Mark and his family and the rest of us.
Jamie

Re:

I would assume pulling it on three tires is easier than on 2. But it is Julio, so.....2 might be the easier way.
