My wife's mud racer

[jonb8]

Tomorrow's the first mud race of the year and the first for her with the new stroker, I'm hoping it stay's together... I built this jeep last spring and she had a good year with it. It started a 89 renix and ended up a hybrid, with 96 OBD2 wiring and 98 front clip.

Oh that turned out nice. Take lots of pictures and hey video would be great!

[Brasscatz]

Very nice!!! And what a perfect color!!!

[jonb8]

Thanks guy's,the jeep is loaded and were ready, and I didn't even have to work all night... Everyone watch out for earthquake, hurricane, floods, plaques, tsunami's and general end of the world stuff..... Cause something is crooked in the universe.....or my lucks changing and I know that'll never happen........ :-\

[prcjeep]

looks great... Like the color choice! Good Luck!

[jonb8]

Well the end of the world didn't come but my luck didn't change either. First pass through the speed pit she blew a freeze plug out of the block and it went in a big cloud of smoke. Everyone (even me) thought she blew it...Good thing was she lifted before she made a full pass and still ran a 5.01. So I layed over the motor and beat a freeze plug in, in the rain so she could make her deep pit run and accidently broke a vacuum line into intake..... Needless to say it pulled about half way and started couqhing into intake... Oh well were gonna run coolville sat and hopefully we'll have a better day.

Missy had alot better day, Saturday. We had no gremlins and with all the rain Deep Mud....It was in southern OH so she raced tire size class (34 and under) and she took second to a SBC toyota in the speed pit and went 84 ft in the deep pit and won that class.

Nice.

[oderdene]

congrats to your wife and to you. real pair for XJ perfect mechanic and outstanding driver.

[jonb8]

She's the perfect driver because she has no fear of blowing the motor,,, She know's or cares about nothing but thrashing the jeep for everything it's got. Guy's are prone to worry or lift alittle at noises and fluctuating gauges... Not women they'll float the valves out of the motor and still kick the floorboard for more speed,,,,LOL

[jonb8]

Gonna be alot of fast jeeps in are class..I told her she's gonna have to were her Big Boy Pantie's tomorrow and she said she was gonna were a pair of my boxers....LOL She's nervous already...I love it...
