Wheelers4Warriors Custom Skin Competition

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

Local Motors is hosting a graphic design contest sponsored by Wheelers4Warriors, a non-profit organization that helps Wounded Warriors by restoring, modifying, and repairing any vehicle to the best of their capabilities, and beyond the original manufacturer, so an injured warrior can get back to his or her daily life. The Jeep below was their latest undertaking.

They want you to come up with a custom paint job that captures what they are all about. A Local Motors Rally Fighter will receive a custom wrap with the winning design to be viewed in the world’s largest aftermarket convention to help raise awareness of this great cause.

To help inspire you, they give this guidance –
We would like our wrap to reflect our organization. This means that it must reflect our appreciation of military service and promote W4W itself. The design should breath confidence and capability in a harsh combat-like environment. Tactical brown, black, and green colors are encouraged, but keep in mind our logo is red and yellow. We want a modern day warrior to feel like they could drive this into combat and draw looks from both sides, because it inspires, while being aggressive. We want to have a skin that shows confidence like a lion, but masterful like a rattlesnake.

MDM – FirstSpear Name That Product Contest

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

What’s a tradeshow without a contest?

20120925-120630.jpg

This little gem is coolest thing I have seen all week. FirstSpear has been working for the past few months on a Mk32 Speedloader. As you can see, it takes six 40mm rounds, but, it also gives you added torque via the knob on the rear to wind the cylinders before putting the Mk32 into action. Its really going to streamline how quickly a gunner can get his launcher back into the fight. You insert the loader, twist to cock the cylinder, back it off to drop the rounds and your ready to rock. Every gunner should have four of these.

The advent of this Speed Loader means that only FirstSpear is offering a total accessory solution for the Mk32 40mm grenade launcher. Earlier this summer they introduced the Punisher Pack as well as the 6-pack for individual rounds. And, they’ve also completed a carrier for this new Speed Loader.

Now, we come to the contest part. FirstSpear wants your help in naming this bad boy. From now, until the close of Modern Day Marine on 27 Sep, 2012 give them your suggested name in the remarks section of THIS post on SSD. No other entries will be accepted.

The winner will be chosen by FirstSpear on Monday 1 October and the winner will be contacted via email so it’s imperative that you use your valid email address. You can use any alias you want but the email must be valid to win. Each post will be approved so don’t double tap it if it doesn’t show right up. In the event the winning name is suggested more than once, the first post will be he winner. Void where prohibited.

The winning name will receive an Exigent Circumstance Pack pack from FirstSpear so be prepared to give them an address in the event you win.

Be sure to stop by Renegade Armor’s booth #3340, at Modern Day Marine to check out the new Mk32 Speed Loader as well as Renegade’s and FirstSpear‘s line of armor and accessories.

GSS Giving Away Medford Knife

Friday, September 21st, 2012

In honor of reaching 3000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, GSS Gear is giving away a Medford Knife & Tool TFF-3. It’s a sleek, yet sturdy, take on Greg’s beast folding knives. Like all of his folders it features a low part count and it’s incredibly easy to care for. This thing has a titanium solid scale, an aluminum lock scale, custom titanium hardware, and the blade is NP3 coated D2. This tool is meant to resist corrosion from even salt water! You can get to work and when it’s dirty you can literally wash it in the sink. It has an ambi thumb stud that turns out, can also be used as a bottle opener. The knife they are giving away is one of only a hundred made. $150 from each knife went to the families of the fallen men from the helicopter crash 8/6/2011 through the Navy League. The knives GSS bought bought are not stamped X/100 because these knives are meant to be used! Sure, a limited edition knife can be put in a case or drawer, but there’s too much utility in this knife to let it sit around.

How do you own this fantastic knife? Simple, you must like the giveaway post on Facebook, comment on the post, and share the post. You must also like GSS gear and make sure your likesshares are viewable to others or else we won’t know!

On Monday October 15th GSS Gear select a random name from those that liked/comment/reposted and award them a pocket full of awesome.
