Not sure if this link works from my phone, but all of the race teams attended the movie premiere last night and it was very impressive.
Hopefully the link works and you can get a sense of the challenge of offroad racing, that is NOT high speed desert racing, but something a bit more.

You're welcome!
We've been working around the clock, getting ready for the National Championships at Las Vegas. Got the engine installed last night, transmission and transfer case today, and started on the final skid plates. Should have it fired up and running by Wed!

The frame rails are from a TJ, per rule, the rest and the rear section are our invention. We had more of a true "truss" designed at the rear, but we had to modify that to get our full range of shock motion.
It's amazing how far a shock can move when you have 40" of articulation!!!
The frame, weight, 37" tires and 14" of shock travel are the main rules in the modified class, everything else is open to interpretation.

Can you get us some pictures of it in full articulation. Got any detail pics of your suspension or is that "off limits"?MoparNorm said:The frame rails are from a TJ, per rule, the rest and the rear section are our invention.

It was. Nothing came of it.Beentherebefore said:
I took one for the team and reluctantly went with the sponsor who graciously gave us a $20,000 motor, from another manufacturer. Im not happy about it. After we win maybe it will generate more interest from Mopar, who knows...?

I dont suppose you could share those flex pics with me too? Im really interested to see that sucker in full flex.MoparNorm said:PM sent.
Both front and rear are coil-link.
Right now I have it set up with only .5 degrees of caster change from full stuff to full drop.
That's half of one degree.In 14" of travel.
