Tug o war?
Evilgoat:
Hmm, thought I replied.
Technically :
The Chevvy doesnt have the weight in the bed, so the back end will probobly slip and slide. I would say loading it is only fair to equalise weight. Otherwise I think it will be pretty close. Your clutch will give before his, remeber his is liquid cooled, yours isnt.
Saftey Wise:
This could go wrong in so many ways, be careful with bystanders etc and put bales and other soft things either eng. Thats a lot of horses if the rope snaps. Also secure link on something damn solid and make sure nothing is on the trajectory is something tears off ir better still use a synthetic rope that wont recoil.
Its actually quite a daft idea and probobly best to find another way to settle it. Hill climbs maybe at a p&p site?
rollazuki:
Ill bet theres gonna be mechanical carnage, and remembering that Landrover parts are only marginally stronger than their minimum requirements, Id guess its LR/bearmach thats gonna get a call for some spare 1/2 shafts.
Maybe if you weighed up the cost of new 1/2 shafts, and perhaps a diff, then looked at what you will raise for charity, Itd be cheaper to just put the money in yourself.
I recon the blazer'll walk it. :wink:
Just another thought, get MudClub members to have a gamble on the outcome. Not to win anything, but if they guess wrong they have to paypal you the money they risked . ie Id bet a quid the blazer'll win, if the Landy wins(hahaha) Ill paypal you the quid.
Is that legal/permissible?

How about take the vehicles out of the equasion and each of you get a team together and have a propper tug of war Im sure theres some MC members that would like to help out....
Boggert:
As long as there is enough space between the spectators and the vehicles you should be ok, however flying parts could be a problem!
It may be an idea to look for a better point rather than a tow point to connect the cable to!
I there any chance you can get some video footage of the result!
burgerman:
m/c members could always vote/pledge for what landy bit breaks first :lol: But the more i think about this i must admit im a tad concerned on safety issues, now dont get me wrong im bot a kill joy BUT, prevention is less harmfull than cure,
And yea why not have a human tug o war??
Hows about 4x4 owners against bobblies :lol: ( but i guess that would damage the grass :roll: )
