Mainly because of the terrain... at most we have sand dunes here in the South West, but they really aren't big or steep enough. The closest thing you'll see to Formula Off-Road in the states is sand racing in Oregon or California.

Sorry, I got side tracked. They'll be going up soon.. I've got so much stuff going on with the competition coming up this Saturday and a photoshoot tomorrow night. I'll try to get them up before Saturday though.

[PaulEZK]

I can post two tease photos right now though..





I took a whole butt load of pictures of both these jeeps, but I only have access to these two pictures right now. Once I get a chance I will post the whole gallery and link it here for you, if you like.

thanks PaulEZK That will help alot

now what do wee have here
a M38A1
and a CJ2A :smile:

BTW I need help with my rear lock.
Could one of you measure the axle in metric ?
Inside and outside diameter of the "C" and hub assembly
and the total length of the "C" and hub assembly

It will be a BIG help ´cos I haven´t bought my WK yet, and maybe I will make some extra rear lock

Formula offroad v off road challeng
the text in the end says "1/2 hour later" and "no this is not slowmotion"
I have over one hour of video from the formula race on a super 8 tape but I can´t transfer it to my pc :(

Those two jeeps were at an event so I only have the pictures I took.. But I did get some undercarriage pictures of the CJ.
