Local Motors Tacoma World Meet and Greet May 12th

Oh - shoot if I know!

Maybe so - makes more sense huh?

 

My flex is weak!

 

Hmmm, hydro bumps?

Ya, you wont break anything on a flex ramp! I hit up this loading dock by my house every now and then and especially after the new suspension. You just roll up slowly to test how high you can get before a tire lifts!

Scared the F out of my buddy the first time I did it!

 

Yea you're not gunna break anything, I just got no reason to embarress myself against SAS Jeeps on that front lol. That said, they can't keep up with us on speed

 

aka air bumps

 

an RTI ramp is a way to measure and give a score to the amount of travel a particular vehicle is getting.

Like mike said the concept is to take one wheel as high up the ramp without lifting a wheel, once a wheel is lifted, you measure your height up the ramp and thus your score is awarded with a few calculations listed above, highly unlikely you will break anything but I have seen some people roll over on them haha

 

Thats my favorite when people flop off the ramp!

 

I think Im going to make that turtle .gif my avatar because that .gif sums up my truck quite well!!

 

Today is the DAY!! Come out have a good time, buy some cheap parts, eat some free food and hang out!

Starts at 12 noon!

 

Try to make it out during lunch. Will have drive fast and can't hang for long

 

Nick can't make it there. to get there and back in 1hr from Tempe but if you would send me a message with anything that is left. Please!

 

If the hot wheels guy is there from whatever charity can someone ask him what's up with my prize from the last time? Haven't heard from the dude and Nick was going to check it out in the mean time!

 

Thanks to LM for setting this up. I had to get to Tucson so I couldn't stick around long, but the seats were an awesome deal! $50 each, got two for my 280Z, and another one for a project.

 

Shit!!!! I wish I could have got a pair!!!

 

What, 50 each? I need a set

 

All 24 or so seats were gone in 15 minutes everything good was sold by 2:30ish and the rest was given away or thrown out.

Thank you all for coming and I look forward to the next one. Feel free to PM me with ideas comments or suggestions.

 

So I have to apologize, my photos from the meetup sat on my camera card for almost a month and I finally got them sorted and uploaded. Here are some of the good shots I got... If anybody wants a higher resolution version of any of these pics shoot me a PM with your email and I will send it along. Otherwise I want to thank Amaes for organizing this and everyone that came out - It was fun and great to see everyone's trucks... def put the modding bug in me!













enjoy!
