The links works perfectly now Jeff, thanks for fixing it. Sounds like you guys ahve a pretty good list of supporters to help with the cost of building and racing the Jeep, any other businesses that you're targeting for sponsorship?

One question that came to my little mind is the motor, are you going to run the stock 4.0l motor or are you putting a V8 of some sort???

RIVER! If you have to ask you wont understand...

Per the rules we have to maintain the stock motor. Mark underwood is the man when it comes to the 4.0 and owns a Jeep with a 400hp 4.0

The motor will get some love as soon as the car is dialed in. Mid year we will start building a new motor if funds allow.

I'm starting to get into sheet metal fab. I did all the tin work on my buggy so I was looking forward to doing it again when we built this car, I'm pretty much hogging the tin work from the rest of the team. The GPS mount took about an hour and needs a little clean up but it turned out bitchen. I'm working on the gas tank mount,dash, roof, wind visor, and tail light assemblies this week and weekend. Should have some more pics after the weekend.

The whole team is really kickin ass. Amazing the shit that gets done in one day let alone two. Angie says we look like ants down at the shop. :D

Jeff,

it looks awesome, it's amazing how quickly it's progressed. Maybe I can stop by and take a look in person this weekend, if you're going to be around.

Crazy mad weekend, Marathon Friday through Monday with an army working on it. I hope it runs by Monday night.

We are spending the week getting our ducks in a row so I'm feeling pretty good it will be real close after the weekend.

You are welcome to stop by anytime you like Beers in the fridge, you'll have to help yourself cause its game on for 72 hours. :stupid

Hopefully I get to see the wife soon, I think she might miss me? Maybe not come to think of it! :D

Thanks for the props Ari we are working real hard to build it.

Wow what a weekend,

1-15-07
A dust devil blew through Dust Junkie Racing’s enclave better known as the Man Cave over the weekend, with a multitude of progress made as we race down the home stretch of the build. The Rock Buggy Supply shipment of parts netted a truck load of new parts for the TJ and it seemed like Christmas as DJR ripped into them. At any given time over the last 72 hours there was something being built or improved on the car. Fighting off the cold in the shop with 4 propane heaters the DJR crew worked late into the night and almost right into the next day with most of the team camping out. The Axles are near completion with a couple new CTM parts waiting to finish them off and finally sit the TJ on wheels and ready to roll by the end of the week. The big news from the weekend is that with help from Loose Nuts Enterprises the chassis is complete and will be welded up today by our friends at Fat City Engineering. Front and rear bumpers are not what you would expect on a TJ. DJR went outside the box and looked toward the future in the design that hints at the Herbst Land Shark inspired bumpers. Let’s hope the TJ is a fraction as successful on the race course as the Herbst truggy.

Inside the chassis, the dash, fire wall, and parker pumper mounts  have all been fabed as well as the gas tank mounts. Spare tire mounts are completed and rear cross members have been added and strengthened   Front shock towers have had material added and will receive addition gusseting this week. The King shocks will be mounted late this week.

Jack Robbins of RVMD fame came by and picked up the body parts that require paint and even Air brush artist and RVMD side kick Phil came by and hinted at the possibility of his handy work landing on the hood of the yet to be named Jeepspeed 2 TJ.











What lies ahead?

The roof and tail lights need to be mounted, wiring a fuel system, install the body panels, exhaust, radio and intercom, drive shafts, dash gages, and all the little odds and ends. DJR hopes to finish next weekend and allow some private test and practice time with the new car before heading out to The Parker 425 in Parker AZ. February 1-4

I'm paying for it today. :sleep

Feel like I went 2 rounds with the ice man.

The boys really stepped up this weekend, it was a blur. I think I even missed a few meals. I just keep telling myself the long hours working in the shop are part of the training for long nights running in the desert.

2 Weeks. I'm running the last leg and will take her from mile 180ish to 272 if all works out. Lots left to do but we never give up! :grouphug
