Haha I doubt it was death wobble look at the undercarriage when it goes overs its got upper and lower a-arms with struts. Thats that fancy new fandangle suspension they phased out the live axle with.

Its a drag car only thing jeep on it is the body shell.Anyone that hasn't drag raced a wheel base that short is hard to control when things go wrong like that.Really he handled it pretty good it could have gone a lot worse real fast.

I think a better description would the computer broke as you can hear the throttle and lack of shifts. This wreck wasn't that bad really.


If its a front end problem at 150+ all I can say I god help you nothing is going to help. It's a very unpleasant ride and quite costly BTDT.

Who says it didn't start as a 2wd? Same floorpan, just a knockout on the console for the 4wd shifter.
