Hey everyone

Just found the site and I'm excited to learn more. If anyone is in the Logan area and looking for people to wrench with, let me know. I have plenty of tools and a garage to work in.

Welcome to RME! We have quite a few RME members up in Northern Utah. What vehicle are you using to get over the trails with?

 

[drjoliver]

Thanks for the welcome Greg

Running a 92 XJ with a 5.5 Rubicon lift and 35s

Looking for another XJ in the next week or so to build for the BITD 7300 class.

 

[Greg]

The XJ is a good platform, sounds like yours is build right!

I'm very jealous of the BITD build! Is that the JeepSpeed class? I would love to see more, desert racing looks like way too much fun.

Welcome :greg:

welcome im in hyrum and i have a 88 xj we should hook up and do some trails im building a front bumper right now if you ever want to held pm me or if you need some help let me know.

 

[Rot Box]

Welcome

We'll have to plan a Providence trip when the trail opens back up!

 

[drjoliver]

Thanks guys. Yea I definitely want to get out and see what else I can break on my XJ. Text me,Derek, at 435-881-8717. Took it out to Three Peaks a couple of weeks ago and blew the spiders. I guess thats what I get for letting my ex-gf drive

Not building for the Jeepspeed class. I was looking at the rules and will be easier (aka cheaper) to get into the 7300 class. Basically a Stock XJ with rollcage, race seats and a fuel cell.

lets see some pics of that jeep.

 

[drjoliver]

Here's my DD

 

[alwaysxj]

looks good we will have to take it up prov is it locked or anything or is it open open?

 

[drjoliver]

Rear was Lincoln locked but blew the welds at Three peaks. Need to take it apart and see if it damaged anything and reweld if possible.

Welcome to the site,pretty cool Cherokee

 

[notajeep]

Welcome to RME! Always good to see another nice XJ around.

 

[alwaysxj]

hey were is three peaks? i have lived in logan my hole life and i have never heard about this trail.

 

[drjoliver]

Thanks again guys for the welcome.

Three Peaks is down outside of Cedar City. They hold a UROC comp down there and have a designated crawling area in the park. Pretty cool place.

 

[alwaysxj]

i see for some reason i was thinking you were talking about a local trail to logan my bad.

 

[drjoliver]

Well I decided to go a different route with the BITD build. I went with a Dakota for several reasons. I found one cheap and the roll cage price will be less expensive.

 

[Greg]

... and it has a frame. So V8 or V6?

Keep us posted on the build, sounds fun!

 

[drjoliver]

V6. Like a said cheap lol
