Yea man! Just torquing and marking bolts, swapping out steering stops, relabeling some switches, checking race gear and filling up all the fluids.

Race Prep!
I thought your usual "Race Prep" was self recovering after a flop
Will be tuned into the Livestream from here in Tennessee pulling for ya!
Just got back from the Sturgis race. Got there setup the garage and got ready for prerunning. The next day we did some prerunning and qualifying with no issues. Saturday was prelim and the main. We flopped the truck durring the prelim but got recovered and finished. Rolled into the garage and got the truck straightened out for the main. Started the main and cruised around for 5 laps with no issues. Overall great race and a great time. Big thanks to Elvis from Texas for all the help and great food!
Nice job! Looked like a great time, Was watching the live feed and the quad screen was definitely super cool seeing all the top cars on course.
worth the drive to race that event?

Didn't get to watch as much of the live coverage as I would have preferred so missed most of the Prelim. How'd you flop?
Other than some new body damage, any issues to fix up now?

Awesome report, certainly looks like you guys had fun. You may need to put a round roll cage on that so you’re just wrote you back over when you flop

Lame rock section on that course. I feel like it was more of Lucas Oil short course than an Ultra 4 course. Nothing like Reno which was the best short course ever. but hey as long as you had fun!!
Definately was a race for who had the most horsepowers.

Defiantly a good time. The quad screen was really cool. I live in Colorado now, it was only a six hour drive.
We rolled it when we hit a big hole turning up hill. The recovery guys rolled us back over and we finished our last lap. We busted up the body some more and broke an LED light pod, no major Issues. We didn’t turn a wrench on the truck all weekend.

missed it live, but watched the not-so-live stream saturday night,truck was looking good till it was upside down
are the cherokees just rocket ships on tracks like that?
All the Jeep’s were fast man. Actually all the other 4600 cars were fast. We have some work to do in the suspension department in order to get “faster“.

LOL, we need something man.
The rock section was fun to bounce through!
What are you thinking for that?
Right now we are in the process of having custom shocks and bumps made by ADS with help from a local shop Filthy Motorsports. I will be pulling the TG leaf springs off the truck and replace them with something more suitable for racing.
Here are some fancy photos.

Fancy photos look awesome! Time to put some sponsor/part stickers on the bottom side of Team Trail Rig Racing!

Do you know who took them or where they posted somewhere?
Those were from Mike Boyle.

Pitbullcruiser have you looked into running Deavers? Have your shocks ever been tuned? Our first year of racing we ran untuned Kings and it was TERRIBLE. Pretty much the same as your truck. 2nd year we spent hours tuning with King at Hammers and it was light years better. Seriously. I think our suspension could still be better with some playing around with coil springs and leafs but we’re past that now 😂😂
+1 for deavers, might be cheaper than you think
Deavers, Atlas and Sky are the brands we are currently looking at. Right now I think the problem is lack of proper shock tuning not the leaf springs. We are going to do the shock swap and tuning prior to changing the springs and see if that improves things.
I got some more professional pictures too.

Elvis approves.
Got to enjoy the drive up from central Tejas, through Colorado. Got to drive pikes peak on the trip back.
Loved every minute of the races, and got to joke/banter with Dave whilst spotting.
Go Team Trail Rig!

Here is some of the stuff that got busted up. Every thing is all better now except the radiator.
