Wichita Kansas

Here are some pics from the Flex-4-Food event today that some of us attended.
CORA (Christian Off Road Association) raised $580 to be donated to the Wichita food bank and had around 700-800lbs of food to donate also that everyone brought.

Didn't get any pic's of my truck on the ramp, but Troy I think took one of me.

I scored a 468. We should have tried it backwards, just to see the difference, might have scored a little higher.

Here are a couple of the pics I took. Josh you went before I got my camera out.







Here's Troy testing out the ramp, don't remember what he scored?




Here's JMG flexing, did you score a 455? (stock off-road)



Here was a little off-road course they had.
On second hand I wish I wouldn't have went through now because I did scratch one of my wheels on a rock.



JMG on the telephone poles.



Taking measurements of the wheelbase.



Here is what scored the highest for the day on the ramp he was over 1200

 

oh man I got lazy and forgot to post pics
as usual I got snap happy and got plenty of pics

Dr. D



JMG Jarod


Josh



I got a 445
Don't remember what Jarod got but I am pretty sure it was lower than that
I think Josh got 470 something or other.

Sorry about your rim Matt. Is it bad? Just think, it adds charater... or something like that

 

I had a great time! Fun event for a good cause! Good to hang out with the TW crowd and put some more faces with names (Dopps)...

pics no worky for me Matt

bummer about your wheel, happened on the passenger side when you slipped off the big rock near the end?


As for my RTI score, i wish I had wrote it down, or they had score sheets left...I think I scored a 447, 437?? somewhere right in the middle 400's though, and yes, full stock Off-Road package.

Lots of sweet rigs out there and a cool group of people...glad I went!

Great to hang with you guys today!

 

Ya, my wheels not bad, minor scar on the rear drivers. For some reason on these dumb wheels when they scratch it shows up white, there must be a white coat under the black? I had it in some thick mud once and it even scratched them, they look good, but their not that good for off-road.

Hey Troy, I think Jerod's truck about tied yours, but again the guy wasn't being real precise on taking the first measurement I didn't think, and that's the most important part.
Also He was using our wheel base as 128, while I think it is like 127.2 or something on both the access cab and double cab?
I went up 60" which 60/128=468, or it could have been 60/127=472 either way not a big difference, none of us have real flexible trucks anyways.

Wonder how we would have done with the sway bar disconnected?

It was a good time, we'll have to do something again soon.

 

Well if you look at the pics we are darn close to the same distance on the ramp so we'll call it a tie

Thanks for the photo bucket link, Troy. I like this one, poor Chris...

 

HAHAHA
yeah you have to keep an eye on that guy

 

My sister lives in Wichita, but im in Baxter Springs. Does anyone know where that is?

 

Well I didn't right off the top of my head but Google knew where it was!
Way down there in the corner. Haven't been down that way myself.
How are things in Baxter? Got any good wheeling spots?

 

We have a crap ton of chat to climb. Then i have some land that my grandpa owns that had environmental people come out and made ruts from there big machines cleaning out alot of lead out or something. It's been raining alot so all those ruts are extremely muddy. Some of them are getting ridiculously deep.

 

I drove by there on my way to get my haircut...planned on stopping by just to drop off some canned food but got pressed for time because I had a wedding to go to. Looked like a pretty good turnout from K-15 though

 

Yeah there was a pretty good turn out. I thought I would just hang out for a little bit and then leave but I ended up staying the whole time, it was fun.

(some of the other rigs there)





another tacoma who isn't on the forum....

and one of them trucks who's name we cannot mention...

 

That's my white taco

 

HEY HEY!

Yea I did. Thanks. I think I might have to get one

 

welcome Ryan, we were all wondering about your truck

 

Man my computer got a virus thats why i havnt been on. But good news Lift and tires in 12 weeks!

 

Hey dr.d im one of mahlons friends from church i just made the whole dopps conection haha

 

I want that land cruiser. I'd probably trade the truck for one in a heartbeat.

 

Kansas Rocks anyone? Probably less than 1.5 hour drive for you Drew. I used to race at a mx track in Baxter. I think a guy named Shannon Niday owned it back then.
