Don't understand the bumper thing, but I"m sure one of us would swap out for the weekend to get you inline with the rules TJ.

Now onto this CB thing....I stopped using a CB in the 80's...those things still around? Does this mean I need to dig through the basement and jury rig up a CB in my truck just to communicate? Not that this is a bad idea...

 

either that or if someone has a couple sets of those little hand held radios most guys use for hunting and skiing

 

Yes they are still around and yes you have to dig yours out. I think its a new rule were going to have Seriously though they are still used quite a bit. If you require any info on whats current let me know. I also can give you a few antenna mounting ideas if anyone is interested.

 

They won't let you hang weights on the front, so the new rule keeps guys from building a bumper that weighs 800 pounds. If everyone has to run a stock bumper, it evens out the nose weight. I think it's a reasonable rule.

 

anyone can add weight to the rear of the truck up to 8,000lbs

i built my bumper because i didnt have money to buy a new one when my stocker was destroyed...now someone is gonna tell me i have to have a stock front bumper to pull.

im gonna call them and see what the deal is. if its that big of a deal ill take the bumper off and strap it in the bed of the truck to keep all 100lbs back there.

 

Yes, but 500 lbs in the bed is not near as effective as 500 lbs on the nose when you're pulling. I agree that the new rule is a PITA, but when you aren't running in an unlimited class you have to expect some restrictions.

 

well the pulling is starting next weekend for TJ hopefully his truck will still be alive for this event. but this is going to be one crazy time. i can't wait!!!

 

Doesn't sound like hit tranny may be in on time for the eastern shore one...keeping my fingers crossed though, as I don't think I have plans that weekend either.

 

ill still be pulling without the tranny...no need for 6th on the sled.

when the time for the buck rolls around i will need to swap a 2nd gen bumper tho

 

I'm sure someone will let you. Hell I'll do it if no one else will, although your monster bumper on my little 2wd would look kinda funny

 

Anyone from the area of Johnstown or Pittsburgh, Pa. area going?

 

Contact the PA chapter, they are going.
PM Captain he is the PA chapter president.

 

Did you see on their website that there is going to be a truck tug of war man that's going to be awsome!!!!

 

They have been doing the tug-o-war for the past couple of seasons. It's kinda fun to watch but, the heaviest truck usually wins, pretty easy to pick the winner after the first round.

 

This is my first time going and I can;t wait.
