i think we would like to jump it more.

when i hit the first jump, the jeep felt great, even during the landing.

when i put the suspension together, it has 4 inches up travel and 8 inches droop. it has 14 inch travel shocks in the front and 12s in the rear.

what we will do now, is raise the hoop level and run 18 inch travel shocks all around. this will allow for the increase compression from jumps and such. we will add the nitrogen charged bump stop, cause they arent that exspensive and they work really well. this will aloow for better control.

had the positive battery terminal not come undone and the hood flying up, i would have finished the run.

i am wanting a video of it, cause it felt like a nice run/landing. all in all it was pretty smooth inside the jeep for being leaf sprung.

a couple mods and it will be back at it again.

that was our plan, but a few of those 2 in the morning times, somewhere through that we forgot.

the run started nice, the jeep handled great. i am hoping someone comes up with a video of it. everyone said i got some major air in it.

The "green" not sure what color to call the other jeep did a good job completing the course even lackin a front locker.


The Baby POO yellow jeep is mine and it handled all the rocks Goff did a great job in building it for me. Not only did it not have a front locker it was the smallest tire in its class and still took 3rd place. That was my first rock compatition

I still say you picked your nose and decided that was the color you chose but, Baby Poo is close.  I saw you run Sat. and heard about Sun.  Congrats!
