@modest80884 sure it had more air, but the yoter is still in one piece :D Jeep shocks need to be revalved badly. Horrible landing. Revalve them and it wont bounce for the next 300 feet :D
@NameWasInvalid Uh-oh! Looks like we have ourselves another YouTube master mechanic. It's amazing how you can diagnose a suspension issue from your chair by watching a short video. The next time my truck is having problems, I'll send you a video and you can fix it for me through the magic of the interwebs.
The guy in that Jeep is a legend because of that run haha. I have a lot on money in my Jeep, but not nearly that much.... I wish I could put all that into my rig.
looks like some suspension component, I don't think it's a limit strap, just because it's not a strap, it's a solid piece of tubing, might be part of a 4 link setup, or some stabalizer.
Because at the bottom of your comment you say "All Jeeps in America I believe come with 4 wheel drive".
I was simply correcting you.And for your comment about not being able to build one. That's wrong as well. JeepSpeed was started as a type of beginners class. It can go from semi stock to the extreme performers. You can either choose to spend a little or a lot. It all comes down to how much you are willing to fabricate yourself.
Question sorry for my ignorance but what kind of suspension they put on this xj I been wanting to put something together to go race but dont know where to start!! Help me out please I have a zj but want to start anotehr project are this xj 2wheel drive ro 4wheeldrive??
i have a zj.wich is more of a family type truck,wich is great off road..BUT a xj has plenty more after marked parts.. the trucks in this video im sure are ALL CUSTOM so unless your rich,or have sponcers you wont be able to bulid somthing like this video.
all jeeps in america i believe come with 4 wheel drive.
thats not true. 2wd was an option, not popular but there. Either way 4wd trucks have a thicker frame so chances are they took a old 4x4 Cherokee truck and made it a 2wd prerunner.
@skitspuce I know, it's been a year but I got to say it.. It's technically more like a body on frame with the body welded to the frame. Stronger than a unibody (or unitbody) but stiller lighter than a body on frame. Still corrected misinformation, in a way...
321 BLAST OFF! I was out in lucerne testing, came up on that "wall", it sure doesnt look like much when your going at it, but look out!, that thing hates buggies! Does anybody have the gps cords, i marked it in my lowrance with a graveyard of skulls, but would like to see it on google earth
its in lucern, and it wasnt the shock that broke it was part of the exhaust hanging down. if you look its hanging down before he lands the first time, a shock wouldnt break on the launch, only a hard landing.
why dont you? if the shock truely broke off it would be slammed on the back right side. and would not continue driving/bouncing the way it is besides it would have broke on landing, its broken before he goes off. the jeep made it another like 20 miles or something, i was at that race
I was co-driving..that was the exhaust hanging down. Shortly after, we DNF'd due to sheared motor mount bolts. We also broke an upper control arm mount on the axle.
I was there when that jeepspeed jumped in the camera crew in the background, it was insane...Like literally, i felt the ground shake when he landed, and then i saw the passenger......oh that poor guy, i saw his head just completely whiplash forward and it looked like it fucken hurt. That driver has balls....
Now do it with a Wrangler.
