Team Those Gals YJ Stock Mod Rebuild

pbmcauliffe · Dec 30, 2009

So in getting ready for next years comp season, we decide to change some cosmetic things as well. We rarely have people in the back, and are going for a more streamlined look, so the back of the cage was removed, seat taken out and a different back section was done. The fuel cell is being moved and a removable spare tire mount will go in with room for the dog or cooler in back. A removable light bar is being built, race radio and intercom will be installed with a 7" color monitor with 2 cameras to watch tires, new PRP seats, a 4.3 Atlas and going lower with more uptravel, 35" radial Rockers and getting more steering out of the Spider 9's now that the tires wont hit the frame as much.

Started putting the new G3 hiline fenders from our new sponsor, Genright, on today.

Got the Genright rockers and rear corners on, finished trimming the hood, and started putting the fuel cell in its new location, dropped the whole rig down 2.5" from before.
Sitting at full compression, would love to keep it this low, but the steering is touching the frame, and the rear links and mounts are touching the tub.

I like the fenders and the corners, did you bend the corners yourself? Looking good!

The corners and fenders are from Genright. Usually build are own fenders, but Genright stepped up to sponsors the Gals and Guys this year, so we are running all of their body parts.

We haven't found anything saying cameras are not legal, I am sure it will be protested though.

Ted's rig has some voodoo steering issues from the time it was built that "technically" shouldn't be there.

Andy, yes we are trying the new 35x1250 Radial Rockers this year, hopefully with the narrower tire we can get more steering out of the Spider 9's since the bias tires were 1450 and turned into the frame, plus these are 1.25" taller than the bias are.
