has anyone here ever mud raced their jk. we have races here and when we went to watch them the other day, my friend said she wanted to take her jeep in, but i have to too. i know i can make it through, but i have some questions.

since i have a rubicon and the superchip i can lock the front or back in 4hi.
what would you guys lock, front or rear?
it's automatic, should i put it in Drive or 1st and shift myself?
what about the esp??

let me know what you guys would do..

thanks

 

esp for sure off, if its a race u prob wouldnt want to lock either

 

really?? you don't think i should lock it up... the mud pit is about 150-200ft

this is why i'm asking..thanks for your opinion

 

never ben mud racing but on xtreme 4x4 they did a buildup with a big chevy pickup and they locked both axles. i would do so to.

 

lol i think our pitiful 3.8 will be an embarrassment if you tried to race it.. that and our suspension, axles, blah blah blah arent designed for it... I also watched the extreme 4x4 episode and that rig is not anything like ours.

 

well it's not like i'm going to go out there and win, and i know that.. just some of my friends and i want to have fun.. this past race a stock toyota fj went through, so we were like, what the hell, lol. and there are different classes, so it's not like we're going to race the big boys..

i would lock both up if i could, but i haven't done the locker mod and the superchip only lets you do the front or back, not at the same time.

oh yeah, there was a few bone stock 4x4's out there. i'm talking street tires and stuff. i know i could beat those guys, lol. at least i got some mud grapplers

 

go 4 it

take pics

 

If the mud pit is a straight line, lock them both up, put in drive and hammer down!

 

I'm thinking with rubi 4hi with one locked might be better, more speed hell just do it twice, try each way

I'm gonna do it door less

 

the manual say not to run the stock rubi lockers over 10mph. and i think if ur locked and u put in 4 hi they turn off...not sure but i think i tried it once and that happened.
