Not all of us can live in Sunny California so for the rest of us who live in the Great White North we have something called Ice Racing.
My friend and I went to see some recently and were surprised that no one was running a Jeep of any kind. Lots of AWD cars even something called a Justy. Little 3 cylinder AWD car. Even some BMW 350is and a 500 series sedan. An AMC Eagle Talon was eating up the course. Lots of fun. Reminded me mostly of Dirt Track Racing.
So we got it in our sick little minds that for the 2016 season we'd run a Cherokee.
Today of course he broke his 99 Cherokee again. so we may be using his "Stacy for next year. He has a line on a 2001 5 speed Cherokee to replace it with.
Anyways to the question. Anyone else done this? I know we are going to have to lower the suspension instead of raise it. I have mostly thought everything through regarding that but I know there is a wealth of experience out there that I'd like to tap into.
Going to be using a 99 4dr 4.0L Auto Cherokee from Florida so rust issues won't be a problem. Has the 231 transfer case in it already. A 2000 8.25 3:55 rear axle and a 98 D30 also 3:55
Not looking into changing the gear ratios at this time. May go to 14 inch wheels to get any gearing advantage but you never know.
So any ideas out there? or am I Hasta?
