do something like this

 

or this

 

I like them! What front axles are they running? I see a 9" in the rear but I do not see any hubs out front so I do not think that it is a 44.

 

just a tube. they're 2 wheel drive.

 

Great.bondo has it's place but if it has to do with moisture or strength,glass is the way to go.

 

looks like the first one is 2WD and the second one has the little "4x4" on the back

 

A "pre-runner" is a 2wd pick-up or other truck, that is oversprung with lots of suspension travel that is made for pre-running trophy truck courses so the drivers know what to expect during the race. so yes, it is just a tube for the front axel

 

OK. See when I think of prerunning I think of doing it in the same one as you would race kind of like the hammers. This should be cool I am looking forward to seeing this get done!! I think he should do a XJ hammers rig. Some of my buddys have done that and are going out in 2 weeks for it. But a prerunner is still vary cool!!

 

I hope they completely re-did the unibody frame rails...anything else seems like it'd get torn up beyond repair in KOH

 

Most to all has been replated but do not worry it has been tested! but we will see what happons when they get out there. I think that will be the least of there worrys.

 

jeepspeed.net pretty much made me realize that I'm more of a desert high speed kinda guy that likes the crawling every now and again. check out the forums and you can learn a GRIP. and fiberglass fenders, you can just get the huuuuge ones and I highly doubt you will tag em. but I have no experience so I couldnt really say. I know I'll probably end up putting them on my heep.

 

Can't wait to see where this build goes! Make it mean! But practical

 

Nice build, and for those who say its not a prerunner.. Maybe not yet but lets just remember CrazyJim from NAXJA/JeepSpeed...

 

it seemed like no one on this thread knew about jeep speed til a little bit ago. i've see the jeep speed races in person, in Lucerne California. Great races. Those Cherokee's are amazing though, they are usually running insane trophy truck-like suspension in the rear.

 

Hahaha this is sooo old. My brother in law has this Jeep now i will see if i can get some updated pics.
