My Mud Bog Truck
#46
I'm not sure about the coast and lower main land, I know there are a bunch of events down that way but since we're so far away I never check to see when they are. Check the CMRO website, I think they do a few in your area every year. They have alot of rules but are generally a pretty good event non the less. I may hit a couple CMRO runs this year if I get the chance.

Yes it does, transfer case front shaft output is on the passenger side.
I was helping him get the transfer case shifter linkage straightened out when my son took that picture.
With the tires that tall, he thought he was in high range 4x4, and was trying to get to low range, which is where he really was to start with.
When I ran the numbers and found out the top speed possible in overdrive was over 100 MPH, he about fell out of the truck.
Low range top speed at 3300 RPM goes 6.8, 11.9, 18.8, 30.1, 39.5, 54.8
High range 13.3, 23.3, 36.8, 59.1, 77.4, 107.5
So it works out close to a 4.10 gear with stock 235/85-16 tires on it as far as speed.

I think it will be a one day show we are in the procss of setting up things now. we are trying to set up some fillers (mini car derby, burn out , RC demonstration, skidoos in the bog.) we have a kids dash for cash through the pit for $50.00 for the winner and a truck derby. I keep you in the loop if its going to be a two dayer. Last year we had one of the bulk plants give all of the out of town trucks a tank of fuel for the trip home. I'm sure that will happen again.

Took ya long enough to find this site myron lol, how far south you planning to race this year? If things go as planned with my sister and brother inlaw getting transfered to cfb edmonton i'll be hitting a few of the cmro event in the edmonton area if you're interested, probably going to hit rimbey up again as well, but the truck is udergoing a complete rebuild starting with a new truck, currently its with clay at evolution (you've probably seen the build thread on evo) to get the cage bent, then its back to the farm to get the cage and engine/tranny/transfer case dropped in, then suspension, then bodywork, and hopefully i can have it together for the end of april.

yeah i'll be busy this year for sure, granted mostly depends on fuel prices, but still i've upgraded the tow rig (08 f-150, better tires, airbags, locking tailgate with toneau, if funds allow will probably add a tuner, exhaust and air intake) a tad to make the trips a non issue, but the really story will be whether i can get the truck together in time .
