Drag Race Wild Postal Jeep

[lovedavdubs]

Holy shiz! 102mph in a Jeep!? My TJ is 30 years newer than that one and I start to get nervous anywhere above 80... of course its lifted and has 33s but damn that's fast for a aerodynamically challenged rolling bread box.

[sbs9026]

@lovedavdubs It was definitely a handfull mainly because of its super short wheelbase. I sold it to another guy in 2005, and he replaced my little 355 sb with a 468ci BB chevy. If you can believe that? Not sure if there is any video of it running with that engine? But I do know that it ran in the 11's at 115mph or so. Then later that same year it got out of shape on a pass, and crashed into the gaurd rail at the same drag strip in this video, and then was later completely disasssembled.

[counterclockwise123]

The packages are NEVER late.

[teamsterjeffrey]

[wed3k]

[hottuner]

[tremer88]

those things are so squirily at high speeds, thats insane to go that fast in one

[skaterboy52093c]

ha nice

[wormza69]

my hero

[bcubed72]

I used to be a letter carrier, and those Jeeps were a handful at 50MPH...couldn't imagine taking one up over 100!

[tonybro70]

Agreed bcubed72! I'm a mail carrier now and mine is a gutless wonder. Shocked that he could keep it straight.

[osalitre]

The guy with the jeep

[osalitre]

That's my neihbor

[sbs9026]

osalitre - Who's your neighbor???

SeventyGTX- It NEVER had "The Juice" on it - All performance improvement's you see in the video as time went on were achieved with the following changes: a carburator change, rear gear change, Stall converter change, header tube size and collector length changes & exhaust system.

[SeventyGTX]

Must have had juice that last couple of runs. He gained nearly a half second with a sideways launch.

[bulldog32220]

now that cool!

[19Ranger99]

i remember when that jeep had a little kids bike welded to the back for a wheelie bar

[sbs9026]

19Ranger99 - We tried a lot of wierd things on that jeep during the time we raced it.... Some worked - some didn't?

[19Ranger99]

Haha do what you can with what you got.

[Globalpack]

I'm a mailman and I used to own one of these super light weight perfect for hot rodding postal jeeps. GREAT GREAT GREAT video!

[TFUCKER]

That frightens me

[tremer88]

those things are squirly as hell at high speeds I never get mine above 45

[smileynirvana2]

i put some 2wd cherokee axles and full steering. the wider axles make a huge differance.

[the13joker]

Thats what i call "Going Postal"

[sbs9026]

13Joker: Funny you should say that... Thats what we used to call it...... Ha-Ha

[the13joker]

"Going Postal" Really ? wow, just a lucky guess. bet you guys had fun with it.... cool ride.

[sbs9026]

Come-on, it wasn't that lucky of a guess?

I appreciated the good comments. Have you seen my Old's drag wagon video yet?

I have been racing it on and off since 1999 I did race it some this year... I think you will like the video....

[ReallyPsilly]

My mail man needs that, he is never on time...

[sbs9026]

He was actually just trying to be funny. You have to admit that it "WAS" a very funny and strange drag vehicle... I say "was" because it no longer exists. It got crashed, then disassembled - so now it is just a memory...

[michaelramsey2]

Thats a real shame it was destroyed. That would have been an awsome vehicle to put on the TV show "Pass Time". They would have never known what to guess its time would be.

[bbccaprice89]

bet you surprise alot of people with that thing!

[Globalpack]

Yes he surprised most. He could beat most easily...street or track.

[julianelmur]

the announcer thinks he's funny, but he isn't. awesome jeep!

[bbccaprice89]

no, he's not, and the more drag announcers i hear the less i like them. it's like god forbid you dont drive a camaro, a mustang, or or a honda, etc. otherwise they always have something "smart" to say.

[NicksPlace555]

Gives a whole new meaning to snell mail

[bgxc29]

I am a mailman. I have a DJ5 jeep. You have inspired me in ways never thought imaginable...

[plecebomc]

lol

[stopglobalswarming]

Thats cooler than the v8 civic! What a stunt car. Thats got to be scary to drive!

[thejeepchannel]

Nice DJ!

Have fun out there.

OIIIIIIIO

[homotorsports]

GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

[wojegenius]

alal ti kurac!!!!u rule

[FrightenerX]

If I didn't have so many projects I would do that to my postal jeep and some day I hope to, great job!
