So what happened?
Yesterday we raced this Jeep XJ, that we built entirely here on the lakebed, in the Everyman Challenge here at KOH. We raced our hearts out and had a heck of a time doing it with minimal issues. About half way through Lap 2 of 2 as we were coming out of the first big rock section we noticed the Jeep was sitting a little funny. When we hopped out to check it out the front passenger coil and bump stop were nowhere to be seenš
At that point we decided to call it a day as we were at the base of a gnarly rock section and the race course was just about to close. No matter what any one has to say, Iām calling this a success and weāve got a heck of a story to tell about it. I couldnāt have done it without all of the people here on the lakebed, all of you supporting us, and all of these companies backing us from day 1!
product are covering the Jeep head to toe. The axles were built to perform and are loaded with parts that stood up to the challenge.
We didnāt get one single flat, and are seriously impressed with tires. And taking the beating through the rocks.
From helmets, to suits, to harnesses, to window nets, you name it, and had our backs keeping us safe and comfortable throughout the whole race.
Speaking of comfort, delivered an unbelievably comfortable ride.
From , , and we had all tools we needed to make this XJ the beast it is.
Probably the most unspoken piece of any project is the driveshafts. For the best we used .
Not to mention when sticking with the stock 4.0 we wanted to replace all of the faulty sensors and smaller parts, so of course we went with .
And without leading our way in what prerunning we had and supporting us every step, we wouldnāt be here.
Huge shoutout to and for killing it on the paint and decals, this thing came out looking bomb.
