I never thought hardcore Jeeps can go that fast. Are they really geared that low (numerically)?

wessongroup - 5-16-2012 at 09:26 PM

You didn't get my sense of humor. At 85 - 90 m.p.h., the Jeeps would probably all spin out, rollover, tip, etc. We'd have Jeep pandemonium across Hwy 1. No need for bad press.

I'm with BAJACAT on this one....man I gotta'get me a jeep!

David K - 5-17-2012 at 08:24 AM

Along Hwy 1, the Jeeps maintained a top speed of 65 m.p.h. (65mph x 1.6=104 kmhr for David K).

A few of the Jeeps running 4.88:1 gearing revved near 3K RPM at 65 m.p.h.!:o

So where are all the rock crawling pics?? :)

Curt63 - 6-12-2012 at 09:29 AM

Yep, sorry Ken. Until you show some crawlin and wheelin, they're just waxers.

Big money, but great times. Pay to play. Go big or go home. It's all the same.

The action was all video taped. Don't worry, I'm working on it soon.

The open hoods are from the ubiquitous York Compressors either running air tools or compressors for airing up the tires.

Same people, different venue
