I'm going to get the CJ super dirty and carve "Polish This" in the mud on the windshield.

I don't care if I have to push it there. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Sounds like you're assuming you won't have to leave it there tonight. :tinysmile_shutup_t2

[Frankpapa]

I pre-registered, but it didn't ask for payment. Does that happen at the show even if you pre-registered?

Might also want to post a list of volunteer help needs.

[blthomas]

Sounds like you're assuming you won't have to leave it there tonight. :tinysmile_shutup_t2

You be quiet. But truthfully I figgered it might have to stay for a day or 3. I'm really interested in what is actually wrong with it. Be a good learning exp for me.

[Pacifier]

I may have to bring the XJ since the Zuk may not make it that far :tinysmile_aha_t:

[TheYeti1775]

Heather and I should be there.

[TheYeti1775]

[blthomas]

We can start our own category.

I'll park my pile next to yours and we can start the "used and abused category".

[Pacifier]

Perfect! Keep all the cute and pretty 4x4's away from our section please. Your Jeep can't definitely be in this category Mike. :tinysmile_kiss_t4:

[H2_RECOVERY]

Looks like I am going to need some help if anyone wants to help out.

More 4wds!!

Someone who knows math to calculate angles on an RTI RAMP.

Someone to sit up at the gate and help the kids collect the moneys.

Someone to possibly help sell food.

more Door prizes.

We also have a Horse Power Dyno coming if you want to see what type of Hp your rig is putting out at the rear tires. The Scrambler is going on it!!

[Urbie]

I should be able to help out. I'm scheduled to be back in town Saturday but I think I'll be able to finish up the work before Friday. I'll help out wherever.

[H2_RECOVERY]

[Frankpapa]

Maybe Yeti and I can do the RTI ramp again. Heck, the calculations are on a website.

[Pacifier]

I'll contact my hook ups for some prizes.

[JMUJEEP]

[TheYeti1775]

And some good RTI Calculators:
http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/RTIcalculators.htm

And for the mathaloics:
http://katy.tx4wd.org/tech/rtirampinfo.htm

[Frankpapa]

Don't think our trailer had the correct RTI angle last year, so those scores are probably inflated.

[MudyCJ]

I registered. Not positive I can make it but if I do, I will be glad to help where ever I'm needed.

[TheYeti1775]

Don't think our trailer had the correct RTI angle last year, so those scores are probably inflated.
20 degrees is the standard angle. We made do with the tow truck's flatbed.
The calculator we used though allowed for different angles to be used.

[Frankpapa]

Oh yeah! I remember now, we tried to find somebody at the school who actually knew how to calculate our angle from the three legs. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

[H2_RECOVERY]

If anyone is interested I could use help passing out flyers tonight over in sterling at the lowes parkinglot

[MarineDawg]

Blair I can park my pile on top of yours. Mine is not show and shine pretty either.

[H2_RECOVERY]

There must have been 200 plus vehicles their showing off their stuff. I took the Scrammy and it got tons off attention. I was constantly asked is that an Unlimited or did I extend it?

[georgia]

Is there gonna be a lamborghini there....cause we all know a jeep show isnt a jeep show till you have a lambo on display:tinysmile_aha_t:

[H2_RECOVERY]

Heather there is! plus a farrari and a mazaratti too.

[MarineDawg]

I won't be bringing the Jeep unless I can find the title. I've been going through boxes all day. NC tags are expired.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Grab my trailer and bring it up!!

[TheYeti1775]

I won't be bringing the Jeep unless I can find the title. I've been going through boxes all day. NC tags are expired.
Get some farm use tags. :tinysmile_twink_t:

[H2_RECOVERY]

I am so stressed! My students are lamos!!!

[Pacifier]

I am so stressed! My students are lamos!!!


They are only following your foot steps :tinysmile_aha_t:

Relax... its only a car show

[H2_RECOVERY]

does anyone want to sell drinks?

[Pacifier]

I can do that if you can't find anyone. I'll just pay out of pocket and recover my funds from the sales.

[michanecash]

I think my wife and I will stop by for a few.

[blthomas]

Planning on bringing the CJ if I can get the skid done. It will ride the trailer sadly. No tags yet.

[JeepinSoldier]

Wish I could be there but now Im going in for surgery on Friday at 9 AM. Doctor says Im going right home and then wont be able to do anything until at least next Tue. :tinysmile_cry_t:

[Pacifier]

I didn't know hemorrhoid surgery was that intense :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

Good luck!

[JeepinSoldier]

No hemorrhoids for me. But after this no more kids either. :tinysmile_aha_t:

[Pacifier]

Been there done that... I was mowing the lawn the following day. NO BS!

You'll be fine, see you at the orange car show.

[JeepinSoldier]

If its all good, then trust me Ill be there. Nothing else planned. I was trying to figure out how to get bolth the LJ and the MJ there.

Get a large trailer and tow both vehicles with the Dodge. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

You did not get the idea from me when the engine, tranny, and axles shatter.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Just put ice in a sandwich bag and stuff the shorts!! I did that 5 years ago!

[Truck]

Bag of frozen peas man, that does the trick

Truck

[georgia]

Peas is the best thing--yeti had it done 4 years ago or so

[TheYeti1775]

Peas is the best thing--yeti had it done 4 years ago or so
Frozen Peas are your friend. Much better than ice cubes. Conforms more to your body with no sharp edges. Also makes for excellent cat tearing across the couch protection.

[blthomas]

It's not a biggie, don't lift heavy. Everyone can talk shit and be macho, heavy lifting will do you in before anything else. Normal day to day is all good.

Pulling both rigs on a trailer would be a cake walk for your Ex. Just need a big enough trailer! :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[TheYeti1775]

Or just hook a tow bar to one of them and flat tow it with the other.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Well I got a call from Bud down at Jim Mckay Chevrolet today and they are bringing 6 brand new z 28s which are all special editions and unique.

I am soo ready for this to happen and they are calling for a chance of rain between 7-9 am so we will still have the show!

The Dyno is really coming!!

[blthomas]

We will be there with plenty of drinks, the Chigga, the Cj, and eating your pizza while wooing your guests with charm.

Now you call a Ford Dealership to bring in something too.

[H2_RECOVERY]

I called 3 Bill and the only one that might show up is Koons of Sterling. Tysons and Fairfax said they do not do this type of thing and they do not have the man power.

Tysons Jeep was Bought out by the Koons org and they will not come either. Farrish said they would show if they can get a salesman to comit to beiing here.

We have the Ferrari , Mazaradi and lambo dealer from sterling coming with 1 of each.

[IAFFCJ]

Man I would really like to come up for this, but will be protecting the good people of Lucketts that day. I hope you have a great turnout and the rain stays away.

[MarineDawg]

Well I got tags on the Heep and will be there.

[Frankpapa]

Tj's ready to roll, not show clean, but ready

[Pacifier]

Mike, the 50% became 100%, sorry but I wont be able to make it after all. Have fun ;)

[H2_RECOVERY]

This show is gonna rock!!!

[Frankpapa]

Mike,

What time do you need helpers there?

Frank

[H2_RECOVERY]

around 9- 10

[Military Jeeper]

Good to meet some of you guys today. Hope to get my Jeep back next weekend so that the next time we have a get together I'm not drooling all over your Jeeps since I don't have mine.

[Frankpapa]

Congrats to Mike and his students! Nice job today.


And who won the 4WD class? Who, who?? :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

[ThinkMud]

[H2_RECOVERY]

Had a great time everyone and thank to everyone who helped out!! You all know how much you mean to me!! :tinysmile_kiss_t4:

[Truck]

Mike, sorry we missed it this year. I REALLY wanted to bring the Vette and put it on the dyno!! Even cleaned it all up last night hoping we could squeeze in a 2-3 hours, it just wasn't in the cards and I couldn't make it happen. :tinysmile_cry_t4:

I hope it all went well as usual and everyone had a great time.

Truck

[JeepinSoldier]
