I have competed in desert racing off and on for over thirty years, in many different vehicle classes, and have been a Jeep owner for that long as well. I think I've got a pretty good idea what is needed for desert racing, and also a pretty good idea of what a Jeep is capable of. If it were me, and it was, because this is what I have done. For far less money than you will spend trying to build a Jeep that will go fast and stay in one piece, you can buy a entirely different machine that is far better than the Jeep will ever be. Just something to think about. I use my Mojave to tow my go fast machine.

If you still want to build a JT desert racer, take a look at the Robby Gordon team that won the Every Man class at King of the Hammers in a modified JT in 2019.
