ooooooooooohhhhhh told u i was slow  

but that is insaine..my lil 8v would probably just shut off on me lol

Wind is my worst enemy. Weve had 35mph winds lately and they have been kickin my rigs ass all over the place. One day last week I was driving into a nasty headwind and had to shift into 3rd! My top speed was only 42mph for at least a mile. The way home was a breeze....


I really hate the sidewinds. Most of the time its just a little anoying but the other day I actually got off the freeway and took sideroads.  However, I did see other vehicles having trouble too.

You were at redline?

Right?

Open your windows - remove your doors - wind passes right on through.

THAT MIGHT WORK IN FL.      BUT NOT IN THE GREAT NORTHEAST  THIS TIME OF YEAR  

Does anybody have experience with Energy Suspension Products, good stuff?

Some of the custom built Jeep guts in the Club bought bushings from them and have been pleased with the results.

Umm, OK folks...  I don't get this.
I have SOME wind issues, but nothing like you're talking about.

This time of year, in the Front Range of Colorado, 60MPH gusts are common.  I have Bridgestone Deuller AT's (standard size, 205-75-15's?) on my stock daily driver (4-door Kick), and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's (31X10.50-15's) on my trail rig (2-door kick).

With 40-60mph cross winds, at 55 MPH, I get a LITTLE jumping around from side to side, but nothing TOO severe.  Maybe a foot max.  Now with a 40-60mph headwind, I do have issues - like Mike said, down to 3rd gear and 4,000 RPM, but hey, that's something like 50 mph or so, anyway.

I have power steering on the 4-door, and manual with a steering stabilizer on the 2-door.

WOW!  I thought 60 flat out into a 35 mph headwind was bad.  I would think 60 indicated would be about 66-7 with 29's,  so maybe I'm making all 80 hp.

I have learned to drive like (I'm not a Nascar fan so insert favorite driver here) when on the E-way.  Draft untill you are about to rearend someone then shoot out to the fast lane and hope the momentum will get you through the wall of air the car you are passing is pushing.

My Track is blown around more than any of our other cars (GN-Typhoon-3" lifted XJ on 30's) but I guess it isn't too bad in my mind, considering the fact that it's shaped like a boot and ways nothing.
