Watched most of the events on livestream. Saw the JT Gladiator, didn't notice any JLs, but cool to see the pics, thanks for sharing! Looked like a really cool event!

The only JL I saw and it was going through pit 1 before I could get good pictures...

Hope you guys did well. Sorry I missed you. :beer:

That would be us.... Got real busy trying to finish the build before the race and haven't had the time to update this thread. We actually didn't get it running until 2am race day. We ended up timing out on Jack North the the JL faired well considering we had zero testing/tuning and had to race with issues we didn't have time to fix. It will do well in the West and North Ultra4 series.

Yeah, as soon as they announced that Jeep was sending a Gladiator to be raced, that killed all coverage on our JL. Here's a shot of us coming down Chocolate Thunder.

Sorry I missed it and upset the truck stole the thunder from the one that birthed it. I was expecting a lot more fanfare for your effort to help drive the JL market.

I'd have thought you would have gotten a lot of coverage really.

lol, it happens. When a powerhouse like Jeep gets involved, little guys like me get forgotten. All good though as we are racing in both the West and North Ultra4 series this year and will get more exposure. The Gladiator on the other hand will be used for promotional purposes and then crushed. ;)

A terrible waste to crush that thing. I'd want the drive train, axles, suspension, fuel cell, and batteries before they did. :D

Then I'd get a buggy build going... Ah to dream. Anyway, good luck with the rest of the year. I'll be looking out for your videos.

Great pictures! Looks like she did well in the rocks, how did you do in the desert runs?

Thank you for sharing.

The RockJock JL killed it in the rocks. Unfortunately we didn't get the Jeep running until 2am of race day (had to be lined up at 7am) so no time to do any suspension or shock tuning. Because of this we were slow in the desert but we will get it dialed in before the next race.
