It looks like the driver of this Jeep Cherokee XJ tough truck knows what he's doing. The Jeep looks to be a veteran of the rough truck racing courses as it's pretty stripped out and beat up. In the beginning it looks like the driver spent the money where it matters for tough truck with some nice tires and what looks like newer shocks. Unfortunately for him the XJ died right before the finish line. Tough truck racing, also known as tuff truck and rough truck racing is a timed off road event. It wasn't created out of any sanctioning body, but evolved from an event hosted at local fairs. Initially it was held as a type of demolition derby for trucks that were damaged or otherwise not road legal. In the case for the Hartford Fair in Croton Ohio, the event was held the day after the motorcross races. The event staff would smooth out the course and allow trucks to race. The fastest racer at the end would be crowned the winner. Over the years the trucks evolved from beater farm trucks to purpose build short track trucks with design elements taken from Baja trucks. These modified trucks eventually came into a class of their own, and have developed new characteristics to race the tight courses. Besides the longer coil over shocks and roll cages, they have implemented differential braking systems to help the trucks apply brake to one corner. This allows them to apply throttle while one side of the front brakes pivot the truck around corners. Other differences seem to combine rock crawler style solid axles and trailing arm suspension with stiffer front shocks, as well as some cases of four wheel and hydraulic steering. For the stock classes, the best vehicles tend to be shorter, smaller, and have a better front to back weight balance. For the modified classes, the best vehicles tend to resemble smaller versions of Stadium Super Trucks, but have solid axles and gearing to suit tight tracks.
