Greg Adler | 2010 Ford F-150 | July 13th, 2010
The 4Wheel Parts Motorsports team was excited to hit the track at the Miller Motorsports Park just outside of Salt Lake City. Everyone on the team was impressed by the beautiful facility and professional race paddock area. The team knew there was a disadvantage going into this event because Greg was going to miss half of the practice time in order to catch a flight back home to attend his Dad’s 70th Birthday bash. Qualifying on Saturday was extremely close between all 15 Pro-2 trucks and the 4Wheel Parts team found itself a disappointing 10th (7/10th of a second from the top spots).

Fred Sorensson | 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ | May 1st, 2010
I own, drive, and wheel a 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ. I bought it used in 2001 off a used Jeep dealer. It was stock with no modifications at all and 79,000 miles on the odometer – not many miles for the venerable 4.0L motor. Backing that straight six is the Chrysler 32RH 3-speed auto transmission, followed by the NP231 transfer case. The axles were the Dana 30 and 35s geared with 3.07s. The interior was original, as was the black soft top. The bright red with a splashy vinyl graphic down both sides matched the color of the fender flares.

Before I entered my 2nd season of RallyX, I decided to upgrade my suspension. Based on that experience, here is a little how-to for those interested. When you get into it, it’s really not that daunting of a task but I can see how some people might be intimidated. All you need are the right tools, the right info, and some time. Let’s get started.

Louie Minette | 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS | April 30th, 2010
In anticipation of the new RallyX season, I was ready to make some upgrades on my Subaru. I started by swapping out the clutch and adding a lightweight flywheel and crank pulley. This really freed the engine up, allowing it to rev easily. I also added a Borla header, a track pipe, and a Greddy Evo2 ca-back to free up the exhaust and allow the engine to breathe better.
