Wow, those courses will not be the same between two rigs! Lots of belly/diff hangers with loose rock around. At least there aren't any "OMFG look at that dropoff/climb!" courses.

We were 4th out of 10 on Saturday.

There were some truly retarded courses. On one of the courses only two rigs make it, 3 rolled, and 5 broke :eek: We were one of the five.

ROCKAPE may know more when he gets back.

[Mrburns]

lol.... I like the wifes comments.... "....god damn it" when the shock went pop...


is that a warrenty item?

[Connect]

Can I get, "What happens to a TonyK air shock when fully compressed with a couple thousand PSI?" for $215?

Did it strip the threads from inside the shock body or just expand so much that it lost thread engagement and then popped off?

ALL IN ALL A FUN WEEKEND.......

I THINK ITS POSSIBLE IT GOT DAMAGED WHEN THEY PICKED IT UP WITH THE EXCAVATOR.....SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS SO STUCK THEY HAD TO PUT THE STRAP THROUGH IT.....THE SHOCK WAS PRETTY MUCH HOLDING UP THE FRONT END OF THE RIG.ALSO THE SHOCK WENT BOOM ON THE VERY NEXT COARSE.....:frown:

[RARECJ8]

way to go APE, despite the ending. we almost brushed door handles-- i was headed up 395 about 5pm last night and u merged in from 80 also headed north on 395. ur white tow rig was no match for my puny 258 towing the trailer, so i was quickly left behind on the north bound 395 climb. maybe next time, hahaha.
