After 14.5 hours at Disneyland yesterday with the family I finally got to work on the jeep today. After sleeping in to 10:30 . Had to make new mounts in the rear because the new shocks are 1.5 wide at the hiem. Did some testing and they will just fit.

It's a little close

Also mounted up a couple of the new wheels.

Man, that's close, you think there's going to be enough clearance for when it's all in motion?

You gonna be at the M&G? Bring an XL and I'll pick it up from you.

It should be fine. Since that pic I moved the upper mount in about 3/4 inch.

I will be at the M&G with shirts

This weekend I got all the mounts done for the new shocks and it's ready for tuning on Wednesday. Took it for a short drive up the street and it feels good.

Lots of room in the front.

Thanks to Ron for coming by for most of the day Saturday to help with lots of little stuff that needed finishing. I'm sure he will pleased I got him sporting the pokiman shirt.

I needed to muster all my special powers just to lift those heavy mo-fo's.

The tuning yesterday went great. The guys at KING spent all day working with me.Took some time to get it dialed in but, now it hauls ass in the desert. Soaks up big high speed whoops great. Much faster than before. Next week is 3 days at the Hammers trail running to see how they work on the rocks.


Great day to be in the desert.

Just when you think your going fast a TT starts testing and you find out what fast really is.

Now if we can convince Dave that this is a non support race (thus needing spares and the like mounted on the vehicle) and not a weekend out rock crawlin'... Team will have a good shot at it!

is there even any fear of the bomb craters anymore? :doh:

52 has already qualified for the race.......Dave on the other hand gets to participate in what could be the most 'entertaining' race of the weekend!

I finaly got to test the new shocks out on the trail. No problems. I thought they might be to soft at ride hight but that wasn't the case. I was thinking I might need a sway-bar but after running it one will not going on.

On the tires. There just is no way to discribe how well stickies work. :grinpimp:

Couple pics Jes shot.
