Gear Monkey Racing is building a Jeep Cherokee to compete in the 4600 Class of the Ultra4 series, with our first race being KOH. The Difference for us is we will be doing 90% of the build in 10 days about 3 weeks prior to KOH 2018. We are assembling all of the parts and getting most of the prep-work completed now. Check us out at gearmonkeyracing.com we are a group of guys that have a passion for cars but specifically Jeeps. We are setting out on this adventure, that has been a dream for us for a long time and we are finally in a position to pull it off.

If anyone here is willing to help out with suggestions,parts for sale or for donation,$,or know companies that would be a good fit to this project please let us know.
The final part of this adventure is a documentary/short film that we will be completing to share the process for what it takes to race in the stock class and how it looks getting there. We want to highlight the Made in America companies and all the teams that make this race great and that have made this dream a reality. Our current plan is to race in a number of races next year and continue to do more the following year.
We will try to keep updates rolling as we make progress and our momentum grows. Let us know what you think.
Thanks,
