the suspension on that one looks bad ass... I want a close up pic

[tone]

Have anymore pics of 3704? I'm curious to see the set up.

[crazyjim]

Triangulated 4 link front... nice

[tone]

I'd love to co ride in that thing just to see how smooth it is..

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e367/kartmanaz/2010%20photo/parker/durka-parker10-7110.jpgThat looks familiar. We tried that last year. I hope it didn't suck as bad for them as it did for us. :shocked:

Hey tone,...

Nothing runs smooth at Parker.

ouch that looks like a fun bucking ride!

[tbburg]

Yep! It worked out better for them! We lost both rear tires and holed the oil pan.

[whooprunner]

I wasn't able to make it out to this year's race since our buddies JeepSpeed is out of comission and our new one's still under contruction. How was the course and the weather compared to last year's parker mud bog? I still remember the last parker having the worst conditions I have ever seen.

[chris_amrein]

It was a lot warmer this year and the rain wasn't as bad in main pit, but I think it was really bad in places out on the course. I heard from several racers about "rivers" running through the course.

[silverslk]

Main pit wasn't much fun for a while though. haha

I didn't realize we had so many NAXJA peeps in Main pit. I wish I could have met some people. I wasn't in an XJ but saw a bunch. I took the wifes blue 1994 accord. haha

i had my white jetta TDI, my wife and i slept in the trunk! :looney:

[chris_amrein]

I didn't drive my XJ either, but I pitted for one. I pitted for Darren Skilton in the silver (#7297) Cherokee. That car is almost 20 years old and took 2nd in the 7200 class!!!

So it hauls ass and stays together or does everybody else just suck? :moon:

Have any pictures of it?

That thing is going to act like a grader on the really rutted courses.
