I was going to say, that is a Jimmy's 4x4 rig, easily noticeable.
I know Todd McCullen (Desert Fab Racing) and he's one of the racers this year. He lost out last year in the Last Chance Qualifier. But I'm hoping the guys from Carnage Crew in CO make a good enough time in the LCQ to race. They're rig still looked like this on Feb 2nd.
They had several friends working on it non-stop till 2 days ago. They got to Johnson Valley yesterday. I haven't gotten any updates on them since, but it is running.
Here is their build thread on Pirate... the attention to detail on a lot of the small stuff is amazing. Check out the upper shock mounts, trailing arms, and the cross brace in the front of the buggy.
I can only see one "problem".
Is the tie rod still that low in front of the front axle?
I would put it in the rear of the axle like on a Mercedes G or Unimog.
if you pause it 3:33 you can see my dodge ram and travel trailer in the back hahaha. we saw them running around like mad men but never saw a camera guy.
Yay! Jason and Aaron made it to JV! Check out their rig. Dual-rate coil overs at each corner with double by-pass shocks in the front and triple by-pass shocks in the rear. Got word that KING adjusted the shocks for them and they did a test run through the whoops @ ~60MPH. unk: GO GETTEM' BOYS!
Watching live feed and getting words from friends, sounds like Jason & Aaron with Team Carnage Crew are placing somewhere in the top 10! Still have to wait for an official time though.
Here's the list of finishers thus far... my boys from Carnage Crew #4444 are 9th! They finished 13th last year. unk:
