Saturday started on the front bumper it's a little bit of a FOA knockoff.But I dont have time to buy on.Still need to add the winch,clevis mounts and bull bar and It is ready.
Well was able to take it out Sunday and test it.Went really well with a couple 5th gear full rips through the creek that runs through the park.Climbed hills and with the Hurst short throw I'm finally able to grab gear going up hill.The SX2s on this thing straight hook and dig at low speed and high wheel speed.Ended the day with a flexed out steering box cap.But all and all I'm ready for Mid America.

Was.able to fix both the fuel and patch the slave cylinder line.But I guess in the middle of trying to shift with no clutch I bent a shift fork.Had to back the jeep out in reverse for a mile
. Fast forward to about 9pm buddies show up with the line and we try to see if with the clutch released we can get the trans to shift no luck.I had brought my spare AX-15 as insurance.We started pulling the trans.We were going good till we all hit a wall at 1:30am.After that we pretty much called it so we would miss anything trying to slam it back together in the morning trying to beat the 8am start. Before the fire the jeep was killing it.Fault really good. Might to adjust the lower bypass tubes.And work on steering angle and this thing will be ready to go for Race to Riches at Rush Offroad at the end of September.

That's not a good/fun first race recap. Least you got some more horsepressures since TC touched the Jeep and helped pull it out.

Dude that sucks that the first outing had a rough start, but then there are alot of racers out there that have similar stories so you cannot feel too bad about it.

Little update on the jeep was able to warranty the driveshaft parts out.
But in the mean time on waiting for the parts I took the time for some shock tuning in 2wd.We have 3/4 of a mile worth of gravel creek that runs through the property.Perfect for some high speed tuning aswell as low speed.Always heard people talk about how much a turn changes things on these bypasses.But man they weren't joking.With about 10 runs down the creek I lost the track bar mount.

After further review it ripped everything out with it. Have to love the XJ life.
The plan is to add a few good pieces of steel back in.With the intend to tie everything we can to it.I also believe this might be a result of the uppers being to triangulated for a track bar causing it to bind up.I'll remove the passenger upper and see if it helps.Still some major plating to be done.
