Guys, had a blast at Little Sahara last weekend, check out this pic of this new jeep jumping, after the third jump, it limped off with the left front tire wobbling!!

looks like your pretty good with photoShop to me, I have jumped a cherokee lifted 6 inches with dana 44 axels and over a foot of travel, and no way could the stock wrangler handle that jump, but its a SWEET picture [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Sorry to disappoint you but there was no doctoring of this photo. I have 6 other witnesses of these 2 guys from South Carolina making 3 jumps with this Jeep. It didn't look like the Jeep had any mods to their suspension either. Each time they landed, they would get out and inspect everything and then do it again!! They were a hoot!!

Hey Brian, I was told to ask you if you know how fast a white 250R with K&K graphics is. Don't worry, you'll see him again. He will be in LS when we're there.

wow, if that is true they need to sendthat to chrysler and let them know how tough they are, I have never riden in sand, it must absorb lots of the impact.

I would NEVER do that to my TJ... well, not if it was stock anyways... hehe.

Sure would be fun after a 6 inch lift with RaceRunner shocks!!!

It's pretty darn fast, kicked my butt. It's a 350 ESR cylinder with like a +6 swingarm.

I'd never do THAT to my TJ BUT I have no doubt in my mind a TJ can handle that. TJ's are tough as hell.

Brian, that R will be at Little Sahara when we're there.... That is, if you're still game?

That pic is so fake.

1. The lines around the Jeep are too clean compared to the rest of the pic.

2. The sand under the Jeep is not the same color as that on the ground.

3. The suspension looks like it's still under load.
