Anybody else see it? I don't have the mag with me right now, but if nobody else posts I'll post them when I get home. Not on the website, but in the NOV issue of Four Wheeler /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif
 
You ever wonder why they call it the November issue when you get it in September, and the stores will have it by October?

But I don't have the results. Would like to see them if someone has them.

I want to see a jeep with jeep hardware run with that pack.









Right. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
 
any one know if the dvd is out yet. it says in the mag they can be bought at 4wheel parts but i was just curious if they're in stores yet.
 
heeps take #1 and 2? holy crap, what is the world coming too. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif btw, maybe its just me, but I think vehicles make should be listed by drivetrain. If you have a chevy engine, chevy tranny, chevy tcase and chevy axles... how exactly is your rig a "jeep".

My thoughts exactly. It's the chevy hardware or whatever is in there that is getting you across the line. Of course then the problem would be if mine ever gets in knock on wood, Cadillac engine, Chevy trans and tcase, Chevy rear and Ford front. More Chevy components than anything else but somebody somewhere would bitch about it. Just call it a bastard. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

Because with a big fat body you just can't win these competitions. They're about high speed stuff even though it doesn't appear that way from the mag.

Having been in real truck challenge, it was won by jeeps too. There wasn't a single event in RTC that it was beneficial to have a fullsize truck.

If it was, Louis's K5 would have certainly won and the broncos and other such vehicles that came in at 11-15th place with me would have certainly done much better.

There were some VERY well built fullsizes at RTC, way better built than mine. The reality is that a fullsize rig is just not what it takes to win a comp like that.

TTC is set up for big, heavy vehicles much more so than RTC, but either way, a big body is not what you want/need to win those comps.

IMO a fullsize can easily complete every event, but to do it fast, you need something light, short, and nimble with lots of horsepower and heavy drivetrain. The winners of these comps show it completely.

RTC, top two were heeps as well, with 3rd place going to a sammy. All were running 35-37" tires and enough power to keep them moving. On the obstacle course that Sammy was airborne for the majority of the time.
 
I think TTC is setup not to favor any particulat size vehicle. Obstacle course leans to the smaller vehicle while the towing would lean towards something full size and heavy. All in all its kind of a wash isn't it? After all its a commulation of points not necessarily winning each event.
 
It wasnt there saturday.

The suburban, with all the dodge running gear sucked, hmmm /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif, shoulda put in a Duramax! /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
