    How can you not want to go to Battle at Primm, You stay in a hotel, casino and bar on the first floor, then you walk out to the parking lot and watch a Desert race!

    I didn't know it was the same weekend when I signed up for Tough Mudder! I don't feel like eating the $150 entry fee either...

    Next race for sure.

    Hmm, I've never had an issue fueling up HMMWV's with a donkey dick as long as it didn't leak. What's it doing?

    Nothing crazy, just the usual slow fill. It looks like the VP fuel containers are a bit more ergonomic than the jerry's. Maybe I'm just being too picky.

    I know everyone uses Fox, King, Stay-Aways and such for rear shocks....anyone on here running the Bilstein 9100 series shocks?

    Why do more people not use them? They are rebuildable and similar in almost every aspect that I can see just dont have the King, Fox name.

    oh you dick! why didn't you invite me?! haha

    i'm doing the tough mudder again in july.

    as for fuel containers, just go with the VP fuel jugs. they are cheap and work fine with stock set ups. i have two of them

    dude, it was an experiance to say the least. it was 37* at the start, and with in 200 feet after we started we were soaking wet already. got to the top of the mountain 7 miles later and it was 10* and snowing on us... finally got to the bottom where it was snowing too, got through the electro shock therapy obsticle (10,000 volts sucks BTW) and yes, the vicotry beer was amazing, but being so cold made it hard to fully enjoy...lol

    i got a ton more pics if you want me to PM them to you

    The nice thing about VP cans is the cost. Jerry cans are ridiculously expensive.

    Anyone running MT Baja claw TTCs? I'm asking here because you guys are the only ones who push it offroad. I'm trying to see if they hold up if you catch a rock or a bush in the desert I don't care about mileage. The only info I see about them in ore threads is road use and noise and I seem to hear a lot about nails being attracted to them. What's your true offroad opinion.
