Anyone else driving in the Tough Truck competition tonight?

[JoeT]

I'm going to take my old tired 87 2 dr XJ and see what it can do or can't do. Ben Falkner will be driving his nice black TJ in the event also. If you go, try to get tickets in section 222, that's were everyone from TeraFlex will be at.

good times Joe. Thanks for rallyin' the daylights outa that poor XJ! Pretty sure the crowd was louder when you made your run than any of the monster trucks haha.

I was there watching.


How do you feel today Joe?????

That was some impressive jumping the first round. What happened on the second??

 

[RockChucker]

something shorted out and killed the engine. they were able to get it running again to get it on the trailer though.

His first jump was the best part of the night.

Any video of this jump???

 

[jruss]

It's posted here. It was bigger than it looks. That jump caused the biggest cheer from the crowd the whole night

 

[RockMonkey]

Awesome jump Joe! Shoulda brought the JK though. It would have soaked it up better.

 

[Hickey]

Wow he really launched it. That D30 took it like a champ!

 

[jeeper]

That's great! thanks for the vid!

 

[JoeT]

Thanks guys! I had a blast doing that. My lower back and neck are a little sore but otherwise fine. My cherokee has a bent front axle now, gee I wonder why. It was pretty cool hearing the crowd yell when I rolled out the second time, sorry it died out, I thought I was doing better on my second run. I'm going to try to run the monster truck show at the Energy Solutions arena next month in the tough truck event again. I'll see if I can get some pics/vids posted here.

Nice job Joe. Way to punish the XJ.

Thanks Bart, I tried! I'm going to try and make it to the next show at the Energy Solutions Center next month. Gotta do something about my D30 and lack of suspension and lighten up the XJ.
