could not have asked for anything more out of this thing other than a set of tires. 


motor was rapped for 15 minutes solid with no care.  steering and shocks are great.
front beams are bent from multiple 6' air outs  finished both heats fine. 


the first heat was the most fun i have had in a truck in years.  we were banging doors 3 wide in the air several times.  send main was a shit show from over watering the track and pretty much a waste of time

still waiting for 572 IN prep parts so this thing might see the lift tomorrow. 


going to sift though jeep springs in the scrap pile and shoot for a 3" front lift to get the bent beams back in camber spec and run the 35 SCRs.  should fit great. 

Looking at Willwood clutch master and re wire to loose fire wall bulkheads in driver front fenderwell

i need a real spring to use all the travel i have for jumps

and you cant change the spring mounting geometry, only gusset and strengthen existing.

Tj springs no good.  2" longer at free length, but rate way less.  ride high was 2" lower


end up with i believe 4" lift xj springs out of the parts pile.  ride bumped up 1.5", removed sway bar and picked up 3" of down travel


Camber back in check and 35"s mounted back.  need to address bulkhead connector and clutch master.  should be good to go!

re wire 100% complete and cleaned up.


I decided to set it up  with a disconnect and a push button.  nothing else bro style!


flip the disconnect on, hit the push start and its race ready!
