Re: Josh's Jeep #22

So over Can-Am weekend (Jul-16 to 17) my local town had a parade and my father and I decided it would be fun to enter the jeep into the parade! But of course we couldn't justttt have the jeep. So we rigged up a trailer the Saturday before.
Its supposed to appear as if we are transporting a dinosaur in the trailer I have. As you can tell it was of course very low budget.. We wanted to find some kind of dinosaur costume or even a dinosaur head or something to put in the crate, but couldn't find anything in the time frame we had to fit our budget.
So we ended up just grabbing a few pallets that were laying around, screwed them together and lined the inside with cardboard. Threw in a cd player and a few speakers, whipped together a few sound effects and that was that.
My dad is just learning what the android market is on his Droid X.. So needless to say this was just about the only picture that was decent enough to put up....
I'll snap some more pictures soon and put them up before we disassemble the trailer.
Next year I plan to kick it up quite a few notches with possibly a life size dino and a few other touches...
Oh and I just bought myself one of these (see pic below). So we'll see if anything happens with it by next year... But I'm sure you all know my intent.
And just a few other pics:
OH! and don't worry, for all of those that are interested enough I have a few videos of the jeep & float that I will be shooting up onto Youtube in a few days here and I'll be posting the link
