Jeepspeed 1717, Rev 2.0
Here are a couple sneak peeks at our new build. We are taking everything that we learned from racing Cherokees in Class 6 and Jeepspeed and building it into the new car. Though we went 4 full seasons without a DNF and finished on the podium in season end points in every year, that car had several design flaws in its initial build that caused us a lot of grief as the class grew faster and ultimately resulted in the demise of the car. The old chassis moved and flexed so much that it was nearly impossible to get the suspension to do what we wanted it to do. Let's just say we are very excited to be developing a stable platform for our wicked new Bilsteins and Rubicon Express suspension. With any luck at all, we will have her at the Mint.
Most of the cage work is done. Fuel cell is in and plumbing is next. Some one-of-a-kind reinforcements to the front upper shock mounts and spring buckets are done. Now John is going crazy with the dimple dies and plates to tie the upper cage structure to the body. More pics soon.
