enclosed trailer or open gooseneck? You need a semi or diesel pusher setup.

gothodgie · 04-08-2010, 05:16 PM

that's awesome Mike...
Have a great time
Congrats

biggin69 · 04-08-2010, 07:42 PM

Congrats Mike!

Waffle · 04-08-2010, 07:44 PM

Congrats! Keep from breaking and you've got a shot! Half the field isn't capable from what I've seen. Maybe Scott at Sunfire can help with some advice. Hell, at least Warthog isn't in it!

I see FatGirl is in finally.....this could get interesting.

BiggDaddy · 04-08-2010, 08:42 PM

Congrats Mike! Hopefully we can catch you on the Outdoor Channel in about 5 years when they start showing replays from 2010.

Congrats CW, looks of work paid off. Remember when you were trying to sell it?

So anyone notice how the dude from Guam is going to get to Hollister? That in it's self is crazy.

carwash · 04-08-2010, 10:32 PM

And I would still sell it, for the right price!

Yea, the guam guy is nutty! I hope he makes it!

Coppertop · 04-10-2010, 10:32 PM

Congrats....

dan · 04-10-2010, 11:46 PM

congrats carwash when do you head out i know i read it but forgot, give it alot of new beauty marks while your out there

carwash · 04-11-2010, 09:38 PM

Thanks! Be leaving a little over 7 weeks. Not much time to get the laundry list of crap done that i have to do.

JeffK5 · 04-21-2010, 10:20 PM

One thing off the list.. a little rear steer pron!

carwash · 04-21-2010, 10:28 PM

Sweet, thanks man.

Ha, you left that bearing off there... I need to hit the HF and get me a new bearing block and puller... mine has disappeared.

Wont be using that bearing and need to replace that seal that's behind it as well. Using the hubs off the current axle, as I know they work well.

94Dodge Truggy · 05-11-2010, 02:16 PM

Hey post up a pic of the improved tire and axle combo for the Carwash voters. Got enough motor for the event with the new unsprung weight?

carwash · 05-11-2010, 02:51 PM

Still waiting on wheels... Staz is known to not be the fastest working man in the biz... But here are some pics of stuff going on right now....

Rear steer all but buttoned down and done. These pics are a couple days old, so stuff is further along than this. I'm hammering about 15 hours a day on the rig now.

Is this bad?

Here be the tires

carwash · 05-11-2010, 02:51 PM

and yeah, motor should be fine... i have gearing for days.

yellowjacket · 05-11-2010, 03:12 PM

wow. those are some tires, now! i wondered if you would change those out. most ttc guys show up with differant sneakers than they were voted in with. good thing, too. stover said the tank trap is gonna be different and more dificult than ever before. although from the pics ive seen it was rough enough before!

i see max has found hiself a hiding place. i wonder if i can hide myself in one before your road trip. hmmmm.......

yellowjacket · 05-11-2010, 03:14 PM

you might consider "tear off" dirt bike goggles for some of the events.

RuffedUpXJ · 05-11-2010, 03:21 PM

Tear off would be nice for the Tank Trap and the mud course if you are in that for long enough to have time to tear them off.

When is your leaving date?

Also, can beat the marketing you will get for Sigma, make sure whoever is your host will be ready for a lot more traffic.

gothodgie · 05-11-2010, 07:40 PM

Looking great Mike...

Who is going as your co-pilot? They better be working on their cardio. From what i have been watching on the outdoor channel it looks like you need to be in good shape too.

Maybe we will get to see ya on the show. To bad it might take the outdoor channel 2 or 3 years to air it.

Good luck brother...

carwash · 05-11-2010, 10:16 PM

Brad Watts (KargoMaster) is my co-dog. Jeff Huddleston is going along as well. It's a good crew, that's for sure.

JeffK5 · 05-11-2010, 10:28 PM

And I'm damn happy I'm getting a chance to tag along..

Jeff

94Dodge Truggy · 05-12-2010, 08:56 AM

You cutting the tires a bit for better bite? Looks great! Good luck at the challenge!

tjjeepjeep · 05-12-2010, 09:10 AM

That would be kickin to be able to go. Do you need another wench (note spelling) to go? ha

Be sure to keep us updated and take pics.

carwash · 05-12-2010, 10:59 AM

Some awesome sway bar install happened past couple nights, all Brad's brainchild. It looks like it was there since the thing was built... thanks man.
