Decided to make a post on some upgrades this off season to my family’s racejeep. Been a long time lurker on the old site and this one, never felt I had anything worthy of posting.
Quick background, I have been racing Jeeps with the PNW4WDA since I was in the fifth grade. My wife and I bought our chassis as our wedding gift to each other something like 8 years ago.
Current specs are
Unknown frame that has been cages from the front to the back and heavily modified.
6.0 LQ4 with a cam headers and a tune
Manual turbo 350 and dana 20
I’m assuming a Ford truck dana 60 rear
Full width chev 44 front
Full hydraulic steering
Roughly 32 inch federals with weld ons
Had Chevy tahoe leafs all around and 12 inch FOA smoothies
Independent steering brakes on the front for tight sections on our tracks
Fiberglass flatty body that has been stretched and changed a bunch
We barrel race (similar to horses) and obstacle race them, basically time trials as fast as you can do one lap around an ever changing track. The kids start racing as early as they can hold their head up with a helmet on and we do “lap driving” both of my kids were racing before they were a year old, and my wife races the same Jeep as well.
This off-season my wife decided she was done getting the shit kicked out of her from the leaf springs and it’s time for coil overs.
Anyways some pictures of the Jeep and family enjoying it then onto the cutting.
