when's the next meet? I am building up my TLT into a scale rig and a part-time crawler. It doesnt have insane flex, actually probably a little less than stock id guess with the new shock location..it also runs limited slip diffs using 120,000wt diff lock so they're not locked. I am converting it to 1/10th and am not sure which body I'll run yet..im thinking a jeep but i dunno..
I think it is the 10th? The second Sunday in June.
If I had better tires on my scale rig, I could easily compete with it
You should lock the diffs... No reason to leave them limited slip, scale or comp.

very true. only thing is we have a small crawling course in our backyard and with 2WS ill definitly need the turning radius as small as i can get it.
but maybe once I get a stampede tranny maybe if i run the slipper clutch a little loose ill lock them if that will help the turning radius any..

All my rigs are fully locked, and the 2.2's are 2ws only. I do not have any problems with the turning radius, just more backing up if anything.

about how wide is your turning radius with the scale 2.2 TLT if I may ask?

Batteries are charged. Trucks are ready "thumbsup"
Mike, bringing your cam?
Mike, Kevin and I are leaving in the morning to scout out a scale, and hopefully a general comp area down Hwy 61 towards Lake City, Winona. Mount Frontanac St Park, and John Latch St Park, and possibly a couple other potential spots.
We will report back our findings. Not to worry, these would only be for probably a Once yearly comp. Taylors is still our main spot, as it seems most accessable to everyone..
Also, Mon about Noon, John and possibly Chris and I, and anyone who wishes to join us are going to meet down at Mississippi River Park in Mpls for some trail running/2.2 crawling. Post up if interested in that.

Now Mike, don't forget your radio, your memory cards, your camera, or anything else that might be essential this time.
I'll see you guys shortly.

Jay Cooke State Park
Geology
The geological makeup of Jay Cooke State Park is one of slate, graywacke and red clay. Streams have exposed the bedrock in many places. Slate beds were formed from original deposits of mud which compacted into shale. Heat, pressure and movement converted the deeply buried shale into slate. Underground movement caused the slate and graywacke beds to fold and fracture. Later, masses of molten rock were forced through fractures in the beds and when they cooled, these intrusions formed dikes which can be seen in the river bed today
Geology
Banning State Park.
The Kettle River extends the entire length of the park, exposing bedrock for much of the distance. One of the most dominant characteristics of the park is sandstone and the potholes formed by the Kettle River. The sandstone is from the Hinckley formation, known for shallow soil over bedrock and boulders which are exposed or lie just below the surface. In the northern area of the park, the river flows through a relatively shallow and narrow valley. Within a few miles, the river valley narrows to a gorge worn by the river through Precambrian sandstone to a depth of 100 feet. At Hell's Gate, the river flows through sheer cliffs which rise to 40 feet above the water. Below the rapids, the valley once again begins to widen. Beyond the valley walls, the topography is generally level to gently rolling glacial till plain

Well... since Winona, Red Wing, and White River Park were all a wash today (meaning we didn't find anything:-( ), I think those 2 spots might be next on the list. They sound the most promising.

This was the one decent rock cropping we found... After a long hike up the bluff. This rock was smaller then the bed of my truck.
