Default I just had the best day, non jeepster

I spent the morning with a friend pulling the tranny in my Blazer and then about noon we went to another guys house and beat the snot out of a Jeep Cherokee. This guy has a 4 cylinder 2 door cherokee with no interior, glass, front fenders, hood, taligate or grill. The side doors are welded shut and you have to climb in through the windshield. He bought it for 168 dollars 4 years ago and has been tough trucking it on a track he built on his property since then. We jumped it about 20 times today and had 5 feet of air under the tires. We drove it off 6 foot drop offs at 20 miles an hour. I couldn't count the donuts we spun. It was the craziest thing. Private property is the best. This rig makes Toad's commando look like a show car. No offence Toad..

Its a 4 cylinder with a five speed. It lands really soft. We guess because its so light with everything gutted out of it. Its a little wierd landing if your the passenger cause there's not much to hold on to. we are looking into racing seats and then we're going to build an inside cage with a passenger grab bar. I just got the juice plumbed on my JD2, now all I need are dies and a notcher. Its going to be the first project.
