TLCA GSMTR June 7-13, 2010 at Golden Mtn Park

[BMThiker]

This year we decided to open the event to all 4wd vehicles. Officially it's a TLCA Event, but not a TLCA-Sanctioned Event. Upstate Cruisers are still the event organizers.

Somebody is going to get hooked for GSMTR.

Metal Tech pallets arrived.

80 series sliders
40 front profile cage
40 tube doors
180 new orange Metal Tech pint glasses (you will be the first to get these)
Plus a bunch of other Metal Tech stuff.

Also have a 30 spline Long field super set from Bobby Long
A couple sets of M Dana 60 U joints
Some of his new knuckle wipers

Camel X sent a Hi-Lift, some compressors and a few repair kits.

TLC stepped up to the plate and sent a whole box of mags and stickers. Also have some other swag from them being delivered to the park next week. Have to say they have gone all out in making sure we are well taken care of.

Then we get to my office. Where there are way more boxes of stuff than I can shake a stick at.

Shane Walters at Metric TLC sent two sets of very cherry bench seat upholstery for a 40. This is the full set front and back.

JT's sent us a full Nitro Birfield Kit for a 40, 60 or 80 series.

CCOT sent a bezel and some other stuff.

+ there is a lot of flat stuff. (gift cards and discounts)

Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters
Borgeson
SOR
+ many others.

I have no idea how I'm going to fit all this in my 40 with a small trailer but it will make it there one way or the other.

This will be my first official ride of this kind. I am very excited to see some friends from the MLK build.
Jared and Katy are coming to. This is going to be a blast!
I can only imagine how much work it took to put together an event like this. Thanks to all those who've been involved.
