100% payout, likely to the top 3 jeeps.
The skirope is simply for the spotter to pull on, so it's rated plenty strong.
I ordered my front cage today, it'll be in tomorrow and get welded in on Friday.
I'm still SUA, and not going to do anything for the ubolts and springplates. The shock mounts are slightly lower, so it's futile unless I address the shock mounts too.

also remember the way it not always directly to the next set of cones. Try to train your brain to think outside the box. Its the little things that save points . If you send your spotter into the course to stack rocks the time also starts. But if you dont move the jeep into the gate they will not award you any stop points . Then when he's / She's all finished stacking you can hammer it .

Keep the pointers coming, great to hear every bit of advice.
No restriction on axles, and yes I'm lincoln locked front and rear.

I see it says oem style. Think you can use stock type axles, Not stock wrangler maybe waggy 44s or something as long as it stock and not some Mogs ?
This was a rule last year that was misread. Many people had Stock 30-35 but were allowed anything that came on a jeep. If you have a friend with a killer winch, ask to borrow it. No milemarker will get you out in time. With the lincoln's front and rear. You will push harder then ever before and most likely go through alot of parts....

I don't see anything in the rules that says you can't use any axle you want, so that looks unlimited.White said:
I've got a Warn M8274 already, I think that's one of the reasons the offroad park's owner was twisting my arm to sign up, he saw I met most of the requirements.
I hope I don't have any trouble from the axles, I've pushed this thing hard in the rocks and the trail with no problems from the axles. Only thing I'm worried about is the extra leverage from the tires on the axleshafts going from a 32" to a 34" tire.

You'll be alright, especially after you air down.
Here's a driving technique to remember: it's called the Bama bump. When you get on a slick rock that you can't climb, back up a foot or so and try to roll on through. The key is to time it so that at the same instance your tire hits the rock, your foot is all the way to the floor.
I'm sure as a seasoned veteran you have used this technique before. You may be surprised how many people can't quite get it right, though.

It's getting close to go time. Just finished welding up the front roll cage and adding a spreader in the back. Gotta pull it back out and clean it up for paint. Built an oilpan skid so that's an extra piece of mind. Picked up the 34x9.5 LTB's that I'm going to run. Gotta go pick up the trailer tonight.
I'm sure somebody in my group will take pics, so I'll get them posted up for everybody to see. As it stands now there are 9 entries in my class, so I think I've got a fair shot. Hoping to make it through stage 1 without winching, dunno about the next two stages.

The time is near. Are you ready?
The forecast for Gray Rock is sunny and high near 80 for the weekend. Dry rocks will mean many good runs this weekend. Last time it was so dry, they took a fire hose to the trail after every competitor made a run. It got ugly. I guess we will see if the hose comes out this weekend.

My jeep got raked over the coals, really tough course for a stock class, and plenty of rain to boot. I'll get pictures up soon.
