I'm not very active here, but that's only because my job has been crazy over the past couple months, and prep work on the truck occupies the rest of my time.
However, I have a few free minutes to thank everyone for their support!
It's a fairly bone-stock 86 Comanche. We swapped in a Ford 8.8 with 3.73s and a (gasp) Trac-Lock. It works for what we need. And then minor stuff like an electric fan, open exhaust, and the 4 other mods you can do to a 2.5L. Suspension is also fairly stock at this point, with ZJ front springs, 4x4 comanche rear (it's 2wd), and Pro Comp 6000 shocks. We have plans for it for next season, but for now, this is what we have to work with.
If you guys aren't familiar with rally, you really should check it out. Open class rally cars can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds...on gravel. We aren't there yet - yet
The only downside to running a truck in a series that is mostly cars??? Those that have crashed expect you to stop and yank them out of ditches! At the last event, we finished 3rd in class, but that's only because we pulled 2 guys out. Trying to bank some good karma
