Offroad Racing a VX? Some part suggestions...

[REDLYNER]

I haven't bought the Vehi yet. I am still deciding on which platform to go with- IE VX, or Cherokee, or 4Runner, or Ranger. So I am researching all of them.


With such a short wheelbase, I was already thinking about a wider stance. Tires are nearly half price for 17"s over 18"s, so I thought maybe some lightweight 17"s with a 3" backspacing would work.

Tires would be 33"s.


I currently rock crawl with my TJ, but don't want to beat it up they way the ECORS guys do. So I was looking for something that was solid from the factory that I could add a little muscle too (stronger suspension, steering, etc) and go race.

FYI- the TJ has been stretched 6.5", running 37"s, ARBs, etc, etc:

You can also talk to Joe Darlington, if you were at ECORS, he is the 00 rodeo, him and Pete race the rodeos, I believe they are currentyl in first place in points for the series. He can tell you what to expect.
