THE AFTERMATH!!

2004 RED RUBICON

We have our first victim from the Jeep Jamboree this past weekend! This Rubi suffers from a broken axle shaft, so we ordered a set of G2 chromoly shafts to cure that problem and hopefully stop it from happening again. We also have to address the transmission mount, along with replacing ball joints and track bar bushings that are all due for service.


2003 BLACK RUBICON

Here is the second victim of the Jamboree. This jeep suffers from "whoops, crap"! The owner hit an object which the stock skid plate didn't like, and stuffed it 3" up. The skid needs to be fixed, along with the T-Case linkage needing work since it would only operate in 4LO. The relationship between the skid plate and the body is very important as the transfercase linkage depends on this location.


COMANCHE

Unfortunately the Indian had an issue as well. The hydroboost braking system decided to crap out and release some nice (not really) metal flakes into the power steering system! (Bang head on wall here.) Sooo..... we needed to flush out the power steering system and we added a screw on filter which is also used as an oil filter for the JK. Yea, yea, I know I should have had a filter on it before! Lighten up will ya?!?!? There are several reservoir/filter systems and remote mount fitler setups on the market, any of which would work fine. However, space is a bit tight and I didn’t want to move the reservoir, re-plumb the hoses, etc so it was easiest to create a custom setup at this point. Probably not the cheapest, but still the easiest.


TAHOE

We have this Chevy in for some minor front end service. The customer had been complaining that the front end was a bit loose. Well no wonder! We found the pitman arm, idler arm, and a few tie rod ends were all loose. We replaced the guilty parts, performed an alignment and sent him on his way.


MIATA

We have the racing seat mocked-up for the driver, and I'm currently designing the roll cage around the drivers specs. Have you tried fitting a 6’4” driver into a Miata? My head hurts already!

Willys!

We have completed the electrical system wiring, resolved the T-Case issue, and installed the new windshield frame and glass. The new owner is very excited and will be taking delivery this week.

PONTIAC SOLSTICE

We have finished up all of the pre-race prep and maintenance, and installed a shift light, water temp gauge and over temp warning light along with installing a new sending unit. This should wrap things up for this racer for this visit.
