That is a lesson that some haven't really understood yet today. I guess you don't know what you don't know. Just from what I've heard, CJ is a proponent of leaf springs.He even said, "Don't throw them away." Now I see calls for the leaf spring to return.
We have always had magic chassis, and none of them where that far ahead of the others. I don't think CJ is that far behind either. Just look at how many different chassis have won last year.
His newer front geometry is decent. I think a couple small tweaks are needed. His cross member is too low. His newer swing arm geometry is pretty good.
I spent a lot of time modifying the car that Victor Lee drove for CJ at East Bay in 2012? What Rusty has is pretty close to what I wound up with, except I never had the new LR. It was my buddy's car. He got his first ever SLM victory with it in 2015 and it still had Konis on it and a stock block engine under the hood. We borrowed a more modern RF shock and got the car driving pretty darn good.
If you get a car from Rusty, right now, it is capable of winning anywhere. Period.
