At some point I will get a good bit back up. The problem is that it was in the 600 to 700 picture range and would take hours and hours to repost. I have a lot of them in storage, I just have to re-upload, repost, etc

I'm using google now for hosting, so hopefully no more issues. The old company, Villagephotos, are a bunch of crooks.

[REDLYNER]

Well..........




Doesn't look like I can make the Auburn ECORS race. It is still 15 days away, but I have 3 business trips between now and then. Plus it was $$$$ to get the jeep back to par from the last race (actually, much better than par).

That being said, I am going to race in the Uwharrie May Jam next weekend . If the day goes well, I might try and do the rock comp that night, we shall see. Either way, I hope to play on the trails after the competition. Any NC or SC guys going to be out there? It would be fun to wheel with some other rigs! Come out and watch me ever-so-gently beat the hell out of my rig .

I'll be running in the unlimited class..... so that is always fun.

[Jankoid]

I'm thinking I will join you on the trails!

[KRIPPLE]

WHAT!!!!!! You aren't going to make the Auburn race!!!!!!??????

How are the changes that we made. Also of you're looking to drop it down you can swap to your 200 lower spring but will in turn give you more body roll.

The track bar looks great and I know there is still plenty of thread engaged in the adjuster sleeve but I don't like the looks of all the thread. I know the track bar comes with 5" of useable threading and it looks like 2" is still engaged but this jeep is going to be raced and needs to be guaranteed bash-able. Please send me the eye to eye length of that track bar and I will send you another one made for this setup so only 1/2" of thread is exposed.
Alex or jay contact me ASAP on this so I can get this taken care of before you compete.
Thanks

Anyone heading out to Uwharrie this weekend? Come by the Stables and say hello! We're racing the jeep at ______ am/pm (still haven't heard when kick off is). The plan is to hit a few trails after.

So I was driving the jeep this morning, pulled into the driveway and said, ok, time to switch to race mode. So I took the top off and the carpet out. . Pretty simple swap.

Give em hell in URE this weekend. Be sure to come in 1st or 2nd this time =). No more 50min down times please.

What's this? Mud on Redlyner's Jeep?













I'll leave it up to Redlyner to post the results of the race. Im working on the video of the race now.

[Jankoid]

Not the best video ever, but it's all we got.

I suggest you turn the volume off and ignore the d-bags talking in the background. The announcer gets really annoying.

Woohoo! 2nd place today!



Thanks for the pics Jake!



We had a great day at the Uwharrie Stables May Jam! Wilson's Offroad put on a show the entire day, as a matter of fact, the first event was the high speed race at 11:00am and they were just starting the rock comp at 8:30pm. Really a full day of things to watch and do!


The jeep is getting faster and faster, although it still needs some tuning. We had it in the air- either front, rear, or the whole rig 20+ times today. The rear end still feels like it is trying to buck, not quite sure how that is going to get tuned out. The front felt good, but actually may be a little soft if we were to keep ramping it like that- which I plan on not doing. The airbumps certainly did their job and they got a workout.

We got some really cool prizes for the finish, one being a BDS shocks gift card that I may not need, so I might post it up for a deal. Only issue to report came from pre-running: I jammed the transfer case shifter into 4Low and I think I bent the shifter. It won't go into 2WD, I only can only push it to 4Hi or 4Low. Hopefully just a simple fix.

I'll get some more pics up soon, but here are a few:

Congrats man the Jeep looks awesome

[joshr1987]

Congrats on 2nd man! It was a pretty cool little event they put on.


Time for one of these?

[Imped]

Hell yeah man, nice job. The more you compete and the longer your axles survive, the more confident I get in the idea of 37's.

You are probably right, that would make life easier being that I have bent my shifter 3 times now.

When I raced The Flats, we beat on the axles for 3 1/2 hours with zero issues and that doesn't include pre-running. This weekend's race was more of a sprint, but still the axles are perfect. That being said, you could easily build Dana 60's for what I have in my Rubi axles.

Front axle:
Rubi 44 housing
ARB
Alloy 4.88's
Cromolly 30 spline shafts
Vanco Big Brake Kit
Outer C's gussets
Custom Truss
Currie Drag Link
Iranman4x4 Fab Tie Rod
Custom Radius Arm Mount

Rear Axle:
Rubi 44 housing
ARB
Alloy 4.88's
Cromolly 30 spline shafts
Clayton Truss
