Wait a minute....some of those rigs appear to NOT have Rockwells. I must be seeing something wrong, right?
Hmmmm, they must not have gotten the memo.

That is exactly what I was thinking. No sense in puting that other "weak" stuff on because this is the TTC!!

You have to stand in just the right spot to get a cell phone signal up there so we probably will not hear much until they get back, Cheston did text me and say there are some bad rigs this year and that they didn't get to compete. lots of pics on four wheeler!

TTC was insane this year. Very high quality rigs and drivers. All except the Fj and the purple ranger deserved to be there.
The Ranger was a dedicated mud truck. Not 2" of suspension travel.
I was dissapointed in the FJ. They talked so much crap of how much they were going to beat on it, tear it up, chop unneeded body off on course, and basically just trash it. It was very boring on every event. It was like watching somomone wheel their new Rubicon on the way home from the dealership. All he did was bounce off the rev limiter the whole comp. I guess that is beating on a rig for the Ultimate adventure. I think the voters had something else in mind.
As for the Durango...all 10 showed so we didnt get to compete. They let us run the tow test, frame twister, mud pit, and tank trap. We did really good in the tow test and the motor stumbled. I think 4th place from what I heard. Frame twister went well until the logs. He jumped it and when we landed the motor died (de ja vu) After messing with it a couple minutes we found a broken coil wire. Stripped it, wrapped it around the coil and got out with 10 seconds to spare! Broke the rear driveline on the last bounce out. The motor stumbled again in the mud pit so we didnt do to well.
Tank trap went perfect until the canyon. The canyon was way worse this year than last. He broke the short side inner chromo. We winched up a ways and at the last hard part of the canyon the batterys died. Alternator had stopped charging so we were stuck. Not an easy extraction and ended up breaking the long side front shaft as well.
This will be a great video to buy. Lots of roll overs and great runs. Lots of air as well.
Good part is Corey can enter again!

We are all proud of how y'all did even though you were there as alternates. I hope that y'all will get another shot next year. You will have a better idea as to what to expect.

What a blast. It was a Action packed TTC this year, you all have got to get the DVD when it comes out.
They gave me full reign to design the Obstacle course and I added a whole new section. What a blast, and the competitors loved it.
I designed the Mini Rubicon with deep trenches this year and it did challenge a few, but after a few rockes were dropped in it made it passable. IT was fun.
We also added some stuff to the Frame twister and that was cool. Cheston and Cory blew through the Frame twister in good time until they hit the logs and then it was Deja vu all over again......Dead motor. .... WIth 12 seconds to spare the fixed the broken coil wire and made it across the finish line.....fewwwww!!! that was close.
It was fun. I will post some pictures of the wheeling fun we judges and extraction crew had after hours. We hit the obstacles at night after the events.. what fun... almost tipped the T-Rex over
