race series.

This is our 1998 grand cherokee limited 5.9
we swapped in a ford 8.8 spooled with 4.56 gears
front is a wj front d30 with a true trac and 4.56 gears from rons machining those guys got us great parts at a great price.

The suspension is a front to rear swap and a 4 inch front coil
Fox air bumps and rubicon shocks up front

bilstein 5100 rear shocks with energy suspension poly bumps (they hurt every time we hit em lol!)

Ironman4x4fab.com fixed arms w/poly all around and iron man custom tie rods drag links and track bars front and rear.

old school aluminum american racing wheels with old skool 33" bfg mt kms

we got in 7 of the 10 laps allotted in the 2 hour time limit and finished the race 5 of the 10 entered did not finish due to mechanical failures. We did blow a rad hose but got it repaired and had cooling issues for the rest of the race.

we crossed the line with 33 seconds to go.

we have a few more pics to upload with the jeep fully air borne at some hill climb crests.

This race series is a blast check it out

Holy Crap the Playground was full of water. I hate I missed the Flats Race. That is the first place I took my stock WJ, before I got rid of it.

I hate i dont have any pics of the hill climbs or the trail sections they were quite brutal at speed.
As more photos surface I will post up
