Cube Dweller said:On an aside, is it really such a good idea to invite the Beater of Dead Horses (his native American name) to the Rubicon run? Mud will never hear the end of it if he makes it w/out having to trailer his rig home![]()
Cruiserdrew said:I think we're safe. As Doug pointed out, Shotts is all talk and no action.
Cruiserdrew said:Incorrect-Ralphie runs away when the bell rings. If I remember right the boy stuck to the pole is Flick, who is triple-dog dared by Schwartz.
e9999 said:well, I for one, was impressed when I saw him taking his 100 up during CM05. Lots of $$ on the line...

Cruiserdrew said:Greetings Eric-Obviously, you missed the posts about yanking Shotts chain.I am actually hoping he comes along, and that he does well (and likely he would if careful).
Greg B said:I think Amando has done a pretty good job illustrating the limits of a 100 with stock IFS. I applaud his efforts to be the first 100 to run Moab and the Rubicon. I doubt anyone will exceed his accomplishments without some beefier components added. I am very curious how much farther he could have pushed the IFS before it buckled.
I doubt that Shotts, or anyone else for that matter, will be able to build a much more capable 100 without someone bringing new products to the market place. Chopping the frames for better approach and departure angles may help somewhat. But, until the IFS and steering pieces can be upgraded, the 100 will still have to be very carefull or it won't make it out of trails like the Rubicon.

ShottsUZJ100 said:I My 100's glass is half FULL.
ShottsUZJ100 said:Greg: It's obvious that the SFA is better suited for the most extreme obstacles. I say "obstacles" because the 100's ran the Rubicon Trail successfully. While a SFA would have helped in MANY places, I believe there were only a handful that threatened the IFS.
This is also the case anywhere you'll 4-wheel a 100. I'm sure there are places and lines on the Rubi you can't or shouldn't try in an 80 too.
I think too many people look at the 100's IFS and a HALF-EMPTY glass rather than a HALF-FULL one. Did Amando's front-end bust? No. Everybody said it was badly buckled so they stopped...but it didn't break. Had he continued it might have broke and on possibly the hardest spot on the hardest trail.
ShottsUZJ100 said:Had he continued and it not broke then it might have shown how amazing the 100 is for holding together. But we don't know. I believe he already showed that durability based on the desciptions of how bad it was before he backed out.
ShottsUZJ100 said:So far...no IFS failures have occured out there on severe obstacles. My 100's glass is half FULL. Until it fails me I have total confidence in the vehicle's design.
ShottsUZJ100 said:All some talk about are rocks. I'm bamboozled on this. You have no IDEA HOW MANY TIMES that TRAC has climbed the rig sucessfully while locked 80's slid into the ditch or off the ledge. The are MANY places where IFS and TRAC, and the 100's added improvements surpass a rig like the 80-series.
alvarorb said:John,
Another thing I noticed on the trail was that Amando had one front wheel in the air a lot. Was it a show stopper? No. Did he have to drive extra carefully because of it?. Definitively.
I love the 100 series. I've been thinking about getting one for a while now. I would like a daily driver that I can take to our desert runs, trips to the beach. And for those harder trails, have the 80.
Like others have said here, the only way for you to see what I mean about the 100 on a trail like the Rubicon, is for you to be there. I'll be more than glad to spot you.
Regards
Alvaro
