Yeah I’ve seen it. It’s pretty neat, but I’m going for a trail rig, not a desert racer. I would LOVE to build a Baja 1000 race Jeep though, but that’s for future projects. I apologize for not posting the schematics yet. Work has been busting my ass, but I will tomorrow! Get ready to see some...

I’ll work on that tonight. Both of my ideas would be IFS. The difference would be the motor placement locations and the need for axels or not. 1 motor per hub would eliminate the need to an axel but a 2 motor center mounted location would require axels. In the second idea, the motor would be...

I need to do further research on 4 hub mounted motors. Right now I know a center mounted IFS IRS set up with Tesla motors will work. I’d like to have hub mounted motors personally, but the size of the motors and the need to (hopefully) retain stock suspension mount points would mean the motors...

The goal is to make it bolt on for the hubs to accept the same coil over suspension (if they have it) or offer a coil over package with the kit. I agree that it won’t draw a lot of attention for a sale item, but I want to do this to prove it can be done and a budget price for such a build...

It would be simpler to just throw an electric motor on each axel, but my goal is to eliminate as much drivetrain lose as possible. As for suspension, it would be similar to independent suspension front and rear. It’ll have to be a coil over conversion to the hubs, just like that in sports and...

Yeah that’s a major concern of mine as well. Luckily modern electric motors are weather proof. The issue would be hiding the wiring to the motors in a way it can’t get snagged on a trail. My idea is to run the wiring behind the motor and then up the backside of the struts. As far as ability...

While that would be the easiest solution, my goal is to retain the Jeep frame and mounting points for most of the suspension and steering components. This way I can replace things that brake cheaply.

So I have this idea. EV is changing the car world, but it hasn’t appeared in the off road world yet, to my knowledge. As we all know, our TJs aren’t the best on gas, especially lifted and with tires. I get 14mpg highway on 35s and a 4in lift. to address this issue, I’ve been thinking of...

I actually developed a light track use, mostly Sunday driven Z06 for a customer of mine. Was definitely a fun build. Only constraint was the fact that the owner wanted to keep the driveline as OEM as possible. So it boiled down to a suspension, aero, brakes, rims/tires build. I’ve worked on my...

Hopefully it doesn’t get cancelled this year. Last year was a great time! Hope to see you out there!

Here are those promised pictures. These where taken at Gulches this past weekend. I did not take these ones but I will post pictures I’ve taken at a later date!

Thats a pretty cool CJ, I'm not going to lie. What part of S.C are you in? I'm in the Columbia area. There's a couple Jeep clubs around here and they're all pretty cool people. Great for finding wheeling buddies.

Hi everybody! I've been in the Jeep world for about 6 years now. Didn't purchase my own jeep till 2015 though. It was a 1995 YJ that has since been sold sadly. Currently I'm driving a 2004 TJ that I've slowly working on and modding when I'm able to afford to. I got introduced to Jeeps by my dad...
