Oh and I need a good set of 31"s. My 235's are just not filling in any space. Too small. Anyone got a set with good tread left on them? They don't need to be on wheels, but if you've got them on Turbines we may become best friends...

 

Nah, I'm running the cheap truck challenge at Crozet on march 23rd. It looks like there will be 10-15 rigs, starting 2 at a time at 15 second intervals and contact is allowed/encouraged/necessary. The course is tight and somewhat technical. If you wanna see a video of the winning truck you can watch it here: I had def considered ditching the front locker and also thought about running 2wd. Check the video out and let me know what you guys think. I have a feeling 2wd low locked would do just fine...

 

I'll take em, let me know when you work next and I'll come pick them up from ya there. I'll hook you up with bread, some cash, or spare parts we don't need off the XJ.

 

If you wanna come up with us, we'd love to have you! Its gonna need some work to run(new tranny, motor stuff) so you may get a couple PM's from me as we work through the mechanical/electrical things. One of the guys, Cody(green JK, bed lined sides, 35" pitbull rockers), is a mechanic for firestone but he is fairly green and I imagine we will run into some issues to which we are ignorant. We will prob just unhook the front driveshaft so we can wheel with the locker after the racing is done, I can't wait to wheel something I don't care about damaging and that will be trailered home =-) body shop here we come!!!

 

Hey y'all, I think I'm coming up to my mom's in Richlands in about 2 or 3 weekends, are there any places near there to go take a fun ride on Sunday afternoon before I head back to Carolina? Looks like the really good stuff is further up, but lemme know if ya know of any.

 

Every day ha ha

 

I'm always willing to help. I doubt I will have time to drive to crozet though. I will be glad to help in any way I can otherwise.

I've laways wanted to build a XJ "tuff truck" for the indoor races. I like the tight course and the air you could get off the whoops

 

Right now most NF trails are closed like Potts Mountain. About all thats left around here is Potts.

 

I would run both lockers in that course. There really isn't that many tight turns that you couldn't throttle your way out of.

XJ's are TOUGH, that is all!

 

Thanks for the advice, Jon. I figure worst case scenario we run the first heat and the locker holds us back, we can pop it out and replace it with the spider gears and run it open. Winning might not be that important though :-)

 

For y'all who like to run bobblets , I went today and wow was it rough! After this last weeks heavy rain storm a couple of the already harsh washouts are a good foot deeper in some of them. I got stuck twice but was always able to work myself out. Also acquired some nice scratches/ gouges in the body where i slide into the side of the deepest washout. My window was even with the ground is how deep it was. ...pretty exciting stuff in some places. ...so there's a bobblets update for y'all who like to head out that way occasionally.

 

Naw its been bad for a while now, still a butt load of fun though

 

I've been during last 2 snow falls we had, so its only been like a week sense my last visit, and it was no where near as bad as what it was today.

The rain we had during the week did a number in it

 

Heck yea, I bought another money pit guys

 

quick question for you guys, but if i wanted to do a aw to ax tranny swap id need a pcm off a same year ax right?
