Sorry, Creighton can't answer right now, he's too busy shortening his wheelbase so he can qualify for the SuperStock class in the Supercrawl.

 

[creighton]

You know what sucks is that I thought it was stock +3 inches so I went stock plus 15/16 but oops I found out it is stock +2.5 I hate working on my rig.

 

[creighton]

sorry 2 and 15/16

Adjust your tie rod so it is really long for the tech inspection, causing both front wheels to be turned out. They will measure from the back of the front rim to the back of the rear rim, and since your tires are toe'd out, you should be able to get that extra 7/16ths you need. After tech inspection just adjust your tie rod back... Oh wait, that would be cheating, huh? 17 inch wheels on the front and 15s on the back would acheive the same results... Not your fault if they don't realize the difference and measure wrong... So, how much work is it gonna be getting it to the right length? Did you already weld it all up at the wrong length?

 

[creighton]

Yep it is welded up nice and strong. I'm thinking of loosing up the plates and winching the axles together. That should give me just enough taking out the slack around the pins and tighting it all back up. In regard to being too chopped; I have new fenders and should not need to worry about body trimming.

 

[creighton]

How about I just "bend" the wheels a little few little dents in the right direction should do it.

That's what I heard from a reliable source as well

 

[Greg]

Will Andy be running the XJ in SuperCrawl?

 

[spencurai]

if we can get the bugs out of it and get a cage in it, I will be spotting and either Scott from bountiful muffler, or Andy will be piloting it...as it stands right now, we have engine trouble at idle and it needs some TLC.

 

[BBowski82]

Whats wrong with it at idle?? I could take a look at it....scan it?

 

[Andy]

It has more problems than that, Vinnie replaced pretty much all the sensors and some relays. It needs some serious help, but I think we have a guy who can figure it out. Scott will be driving and I will be the crew. I took it over to Scotts so we can get started on the cage and stuff this weekend. I hope we make it!!!

 

[BBowski82]

Andy--what is this thing doing?? I have worked on a couple cherokees with ground problems. Grounds will make a vehicle do super crazy things. Let me know if I can help.

 

[creighton]

I'm not sure but I think you might need to run the rear hatch.

 

[Andy]

Nope, I sent Craig and others at UROC pics to see if it would be ok, and had no objections.

 

[creighton]

well thats cool. I wonder howmuch of my rear corners I can trim to be within the "Some trimming of body such as fenders and corner panels is allowed" then there is a mention of 3 inches on fender. Is 3 inches also OK for corners?

I would say if there is any doubt call them just to be safe.
