RPG and WSI present The South Dakota Buffalo Run

[Huck]

As of now it's still open. Yukon and wifey are out of town this weekend. So I haven't heard if they filled the last spot.

Placards were sent to print. Once we get a final count on co-drivers and shirt sizes those will be sent off too.

Just need to fill that last spot

OK, this is the real me. In the desert I miss. Lake Pleasant, north west of Phoenix. Thanks to RaptorWifey for explaining, how to post a pic, with small words I can understand.

I've been on that lake

I got the email, but it wont let me set as my avatar. I even resized it before hand? I noticed my supporting membership status expired, maybe thats why.... Ill renew it when I get my tax returns and try it again

you have to ether down load it on this forum or facebook or that photo thing.

I am very interested in this run, I am going to be keeping a close eye on that last spot. unfortunatley I can not commit right now but hopefully i will get my scheduling worked out soon for the run weekend.

 

[WyoStorm]

Lots of interest for the last spot but who will it be???

 

[Wilson]

I picked up a few more thing's today you call clevises D-shackles.

 

[Huck]

Someone pick the last spot. Or for all you people on the fence, grow a pair and commit. Or we are going to have to put a cut off date for motivation.


Wilson did you get the tow strap too? Yeah there are few things they are called. D-rings, Shackles, Clevases, etc.

 

[Wilson]

got the tow strap before I got the pick up I picked up one with a pin I should have got the screw in type might go back and get them instead. what about a chuck of log chain for hooking up to car's would that work for one or should it be 2 D shackles

 

[Huck]

With the d-rings (whatever you prefer to call them) they work best and most secure / safe with the straps with the loops on the ends, no hooks. 20' is about good for what we are doing, unless someone gets crazy and really has an off. But then Yukon has a winch for that.

The d-rings fit over the tow hooks. One hook should be enough. Hooks are close enough to the center of the truck where it wont make much difference.

some of us have kinetic ropes as well rather than straps.

 

[Wilson]

the D ring I got is rated for 16,000# and is the 718x3 7/8 is that the one that fit's

 

[Huck]

Yeah that should be good. I bought mine at farm and fleet before the snoball. Never used them but still have them.

Just run out and check one day. If it fits over the tow ring your good to go.
