That's cool loosekannon! I am still amazed at what they went through last year to get the MCR4 stickers to us.

The registration form will be online, and then we will mail out a packet for you (or each vehicle in your group) that includes *possibly* a dash plaque, a sticker, and a meal ticket.

I know that we will require you to pay for the camp ground site at the springs during the online registration, or via snail mail. So I think it will cost like $5 or $10 or $15 per rig or something.... I really have no idea, as I have not seen the forms, but I do believe that there will be a small charge this year, and if you ask me, its a good thing because that's the incentive you need to show up. Last year we had, what, 300-something rigs registered and I only saw like 100 of them. That was a H-U-G-E PROBLEM last year because WE ORDERED ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF THOSE 300-SOMETHING RIGS!!!! It was a HUGE waste of food and time and money.. So if we can charge some money, then hopefully those who pay will show up!!!! and we can have the event better organized.

It always turns out to be a bigger crowd then expected, it did last year anyway

Read the above quote. There wasn't nearly the amount of people who signed up. We signed up but didn't camp out with everyone. We will this year though.

I didn't mean overall, but the # of trucks we were wheeling with was more then I expected.

Well not together, together, but BD and Spotter, you rode in with FFC didn't you?

Commifornia!

Mike should be putting up the registration up soon. It'll be at Rubicon Springs, Sept. 8-10. Get there whatever way you can and they'll be hosting a big dinner Sat. night.

i'd say you could do it fine with your setup if you put a rear locker in but with that lift height it might be tipsy and expect major body damage without rocksliders and for clutch sake i'd put some sort of crawler gear in there but last year I saw a stock solid axle truck with 33's and a welded rearend taken most of the hard lines till he rolled

84_yota_4wd · « **Reply #442 on:** May 16, 2006, 07:51:32 PM »

huh k locker and sliders and i should be good ill probably burn the cluch up but its not my dd anymore and ive done the tranny atleast 6 or 7 times between me and my buddies. so no problem there just replace it. i know this sounds stupid but ive got some nerf bars in the back if i throw them on will it give me enough protection as i dont have a good welder so makin em right now is out of the question. and the money will go toward a locker. and gus what im gonna be up to 8" of lift in the front by then as im gettin my biuddies old suspention brand new hes had it for like two weeks.oh and hows a spool

Ramrod · « **Reply #443 on:** May 16, 2006, 08:24:47 PM »

uh you really don't want that much lift dude your just gonna roll. for those 33s id run a 2" lift or none. i'm running 4" with 37's and its pretty dang stable. the lift doesn't gain you much. save your money from the lift and buys some gears for your t-case and instead of buying a locker just weld up the spiders

84_yota_4wd · « **Reply #444 on:** May 16, 2006, 08:31:08 PM »

well um im gettin the susspention for a friends freebie kinda thing ive done so much work on his truck and gave him a realy good amp. and im not sure i trust myself to weld up the spider gear

we did, she just doesn't have a good memory aparently. I rode in with RUGER, and Spotter spotted FFC

we weren't far from the main camp at all. right across the trail from the helipad.

sliders for sure

those are an absolute must. MCR5 isn't until sept, so you've got some time. Lock the rear, and you'll be ready to go. If you're a good driver, you'll do alright. Last year we dragged a stock amigo through, good spotting, decent driving, and a rig to throw a strap every once in a while and she made it

beat the body, but that is life. Try to find some bigger tires if you can, not a must but they'll help

I do think they are charging to participate this year, but its probably going to be less than $20. Thaty helps cover the camp costs, food, etc.

All I know is it was far enough that I had to walk up that hill on the slippery granite and it was tuff at nighttime.... so to me it was far

84_yota_4wd · « **Reply #448 on:** May 17, 2006, 08:31:48 AM »

yea 20 bucks aint no big deal. sliders k i need to make some then. and i will probably have my rear welded. team ramrod suggested it and its cheap um bigger tire might happen by then but i highly highly doubt it. cause i will need gears to do tires and those get expensive u know. thanks for the help everyone ill get my truck ready and be there for sure thanks again. mitchell
