mvusse Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I agree that a pickup truck can hook up. It just takes a very well thought out suspension. I have seen a S10 with a blown 350 and nitrous pull 6 seconds on a 1/8 mile. That thing took off like it came out of a slingshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathkiller Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If a fullsize Wagoneer with a 401 can run 13.8 why is it so hard to believe that an MJ can run in the 10's? Anyone notice the 4x4 badges on that 10-second MJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ300 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hey!!!! I was going to post those videos!!!! :mad: Oh well, you beat me to them, and thats definitely a 1/4 mile and I think it is easily done in a 401. And since the comanche is light in weight it has a really fast pick-up and 10 secs is easily believeable. And who cares if its possible or not, there still really cool videos.

69CamaroSS Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 think he'll trade for a busted up XJ? that little thing is a beast. one of the coolest videos i've seen :clapping: :drool: :brows: :bowdown: ;) :D :eek: :popcorn: :USAflag: :USAflag: :USAflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 plus in one of the videos, the description says he is testing out a new "Cal-tracs type suspension". also he has slicks and internal rollcage. plus i've seen vids of it with a toolbox in the bed that definatly wasnt full of tools... also, look at the thing twist on take off.

Oizarod115 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 she's a quick one. there used to be a video of it taking off running 10s from directly behind the truck... BADARSE to watch the bed twist and squat then the whole truck just LAUNCH the F off the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You can do all kinds of things with any motor if you really want to. I saw a volkwagon rabbit run a 7.6 quarter with the original 1.6L motor(SAW at a track, not a vid), but converted to RWD. The wheelie bars were almost as long as the car.

Jacobs Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hey guys! That's my old junker in the videos. Thanks for the kind words, except those that thought it was an 1/8 mile. :ack: j/k It's a 90 Eliminator, used to be 4x4. It's been to Moab a couple times and a few trails in CO. These days it's just a street/strip truck. 401 built up on nitrous, fuel injected on E85. TH400, stock 44 rear with 3.31 gears and Alloy shafts, cage, whatever else it took to meet the NHRA rules for 10's. If I could ever get it down near sea level and keep it halfway hooked up it should run in the high 9's as is. Oh, the flashy LED thing in the cluster is a Prologger wideband/ nitrous controller. It's also my only tach, I really need to hook a shift light up to it. These trucks hook up fairly well, anybody else on here into hotrodding them? -Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's no problem- he can be fastest, I'll be quickest. For now. It shouldn't be too hard to go quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 welcome! i've seen vids of it with a toolbox in the bed. i always wondered what was in it. weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloCamo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 These trucks hook up fairly well, anybody else on here into hotrodding them? -Jon Mine is slowly making it's way to an all around street performer....very slowly. :wall: I don't want to go all out to the extent you did as it will probably always be my daily driver...but as the funds roll in I'm hoping to build a 4.6-4.7L stroker motor, lowered 1.5" up front and 2" out back on some wider tires with a D44 out back. Those are just basic plans, though :smart: We will see how long it takes me to get anything done though as I'm in a tight money bind at the moment :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks for the kind words, except those that thought it was an 1/8 mile. :ack: j/k Welcome, and I was just kidding about the 1/8 mile. :rotfl2: Where do you run? I'm 23 miles from Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) in Sonoma California, the drag strip here is 20 feet above sea level :yes: . You need to come out here!!!

project88mj Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 hey jon, glad you joined us i always wondered what that kind of numbers that beast-of-a-comanche put up on the dyno? ---side note--- where are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobs Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 89eliminator, the toolbox contained the nitrous bottle. It's now between the seats up front.. SoloCamo, sounds like a good plan! That D44 should take all you can throw at it. I'd love to get down to sea level with it some time, now that fuel costs are down a little it might be workable at some point. The shop I work at has a Mustang dyno, widely known as the stingiest chassis dyno. It put down 550 corrected. Pretty sure I could take it to a Dynojet, more or less the universal standard and show 620-ish. Here she is purring away at Bandimere. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/401- ... 198313.htm For comparison the tired old Renix 4.0 it had when I got it did 104 on a Dynojet. -Jon edit: livin' in Northern Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
