I'm in the process of moving everything over to a new body, she didn't like being beaten so hard without reenforcement. I sent her out with a bang though, vid in my sig :D
 
Wow... not a very good start for the 1708

as a newbie to the site I guess I don't have many friends.

Dans XJ is pretty cool... but we're used to the DJR guys running up front. We eventually catch and pass them :laugh3:

Check out our Parker 2010 in car video to see just how ole blue runs...

...with special emphasis around min 4:53 ;)

Haha Eric it's not about having friends. Its the fact his xj is linked on 37's with a v8. No class rules to follow. Your XJ is a work of art. I've seen it run!
 
Yep,... Looks like links are going to take the day,... :flame: or at least take an early lead.

Don't feel bad -Race, I think the only reason the 7118 truck is ahead of you is because of the loyalty the Comanche guys have. When I saw the pics you posted, I figured the 1708 car was going to walk away with it. :cheers:

Eric, I know, that you know, that our transmission blew up and we were stuck with 1st and 4th gear only. We were getting to our pit as fast as we could to change the transmission. So an hour and a half of down time and still finished third is not too shabby. I have to agree though, your junk is fast and reliable.
 
wow an really awesome set of submissions... it takes more than the average bear to build a jeep to survive some serious go pedal... however v8 jeeps ftw!
 
These are impressive. Lots of great fab work!!

It's a tough choice.
