John90XJ · **Posted:** Tue Jun 16, 2009 6:20 pm

John (Avanteone) and I (John90XJ) are donating an XJ Dana 44 axle for the foundation of our M&G Grand Prize. We're going to begin the process of building it into something really special for some lucky winner. Stay tuned for developments.

Can I buy a ticket even though I will be 300 miles from the event?

Sure.

The next question should be "Will I win?".

The answer is no.

Can I trade in my 29spline axle for the winning ticket? :lol:

If I win will you make it fit tj?? :rock:

Diandra · **Posted:** Mon Aug 31, 2009 2:11 pm

Don't even bother answering the above question. you only need to make it fit a Liberty

MukYJ · **Posted:** Mon Aug 31, 2009 9:04 pm

I'd guess it can be made to fit a YJ easier than a TJ or Libby...

Plus, I already have OBA - Just sayin' :mrgreen:

When I win I'll trade it for a built front D44 or RubiCrawler. Who's interested?

It can't hurt to ask, right?

Huge thanks to FAST Undercar for donating the parts required for the disk brake conversion on our give-away axle. The D44 build up will be sporting a disk brake conversion using rear Explorer brake parts, with all brand new pads, calipers, rotors, and hoses from FAST Undercar!

do you have to be present to win raffle items? or can i make donations in return for raffle tickets and have someone there (scott) hold mine for me? i really want to go, but not sure it is in the cards.

Winning ticket must be present. If you want Scott to buy tickets for you and write your name on 'em, that's between you and him. I'll even loan him the pencil.

Avanteone · **Posted:** Thu Sep 03, 2009 9:05 pm

OH, and FWIW, retail value of this price is well north of $2k! :eek2:

cool man. if tickets being present to win for raffle items is all that is necessary i may send up some money to support the club in exchange for tickets. i am sure scott would be more than willing.

do tickets cover all raffle items? or just the grand prize? how much are they a piece?

scott, you reading this?

Tickets have historically been $1 each, I am honestly not 100% sure if that is still plan this year. Raffle tickets go in the hat (jar, bucket, whatever) for ALL prizes.
