I am getting ready to start my second season racing ECORS. The last race of the season beat the VX to an inch of its life! Totally destroyed the passenger side, bent the passenger side frame, almost lost the rear bumper and tore the farelead off the front bumper.

I was tired of getting lapped by Jeeps, Sammies, etc... the IFS just didn't have enough travel to take the abuse. So... out it came and in goes a Dana 44 with 5.38s and ARBs front and rear. I am still in the mock up stage but this thing is going to be a beast. I will be running RaceLine beadlocks and 35x12.50x17 tires. So here's some pictures.....

Mocking everything in place. Ths suspension is in full compression here.





Love the size of this tire/rim combo.... these are just mock up tires but the races tires will be the same size as these....





More pictures and posts to follow. I have lots of work to be done by the first race March 24th!
