johnnybebad Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) in a spot where it won`t get covered in mud !! lol Edited March 22, 2014 by johnnybebad
89 solider mj Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 the paint looks real good! and your 4 link i read threw this forum but can't remember was your 4 link a kit or did u fab it all yourself? and how is the flex on that 4 link cause i love blazin down rough roads which obviously you would be familar with cause of the racing but i also like tight technical trails n want a good soft suspension with good articulation for that too would u recomend a 4 link?...but I'm also on a budget since I'm a 19 y/o in college ha
johnnybebad Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 i built the 4 link all from scrap. the axle end is fitted with 3/4 heims and the frame end is a pair of stock XJ front control arms cut in half to use the bushing. it flexes like crazy, as far as your shocks will let it. the ones I am running this year have 10 inches of travel, which is plenty for what I do, but next year I think I may run coilovers.

johnnybebad Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 missed the first race, lost my brakes after having them bled for over a month with no problems !! first the diaphram in the booster let go, then the caliper started leaking past the piston !! got the aw4 all wired up in place of the ax-15 , hoping to try it out thursday night, next race is this coming sunday !!! stay tuned for details lol

johnnybebad Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 thanks !! email is j_bebad@hotmail.com, i`d like to see a few pics !! got the truck done the night before the race, never even tried it out, just threw it on the trailer and hoped for the best !! she performed pretty well for a stock 4 litre, didn`t have time to get the stroker built, and the ride is amazing. those edelbrock shocks made a world of difference !! think i finished 4th in my class , not bad for it`s first run !!! check out the air on the second vid lol
86MJ2WD Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 AAAAHHH , Just watched the vid remember seeing tha air ! funny part is i traveled up from Yarmouth with my uncle and we we're siitin beside whome ever it was that took the video didn't realize they were your fans ! I'll get you some pictures as soon as i can , Monday prob this puters to slow !1 till next time ! :Canadaflag:
johnnybebad Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 haha cool, the girl taking the video, her boyfriend is my navigator lol. broke the front sway bar on landing but other than that she`s good to go for the next race !
86MJ2WD Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 I still havn't forgot about your pics ! next time i'm at my other "faster" computer !
johnnybebad Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) last race of the season in a week...time to add cage lol... Grinder locked up solid with a zip cut wheel on it . owwie lol a lil paint and shes good as new ! Edited March 22, 2014 by johnnybebad
johnnybebad Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 thanks ! lol the funny thing is it`s all built out of junk, scrap metal. the only thing I bought was the tubing for the interior cage, everything else was free, just had to fab it up. the 4 link rear is holding on good, want to go with King shocks on the front and rear next season if funds allow
JeepinDev89 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 What kind of races do you do? Like baja style? I would love to do something like that. But only if it was something that was in a connecting state to me. It looks like fun. But you need a 5 speed. :D
johnnybebad Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 this is the type of racing we do. this is one of the smaller tracks with no jumps.
johnnybebad Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) the 4.slow lost compression so it had to go , the only complete motor I had was from a junked 95 with 380,000 Km`s on it, but has awesome compression . I later found out that the original motor with 140K also had an out of round crank ! Edited March 22, 2014 by johnnybebad
johnnybebad Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Nice work man! thanks !! i built this thing on a $1000 budget, it has a refdigerator door for a floor lol, weight lifting bench,bed frames,old used water pipes, and even a few pieces off of herring cutting machines in it. the cage is all new pipe, the rest is used stuff i had laying around. hoing next year I can throw some $$$ at it for a 4.8 stroker and coilovers all around ! here's a pic after i raced it, minus the hood scoop that came off and almost decapitated me during the race lol.... And here is my $300 winter beater. it was flat black with red spots and rust holes when I got it lol, 88 MJ 2.5 5 speed 2wd . I went with a familiar paint scheme and since the race truck had street tires, i just swapped em lol Edited March 22, 2014 by johnnybebad
