That is all.

Awesome set up...makes me think I haven't done sh*t to my truck! What have you done to your engine - header, supercharger, LM2, porting, etc? The exhaust looks stock.

Thanks everyone!

The engine and transmission are stock. The rest of the truck...not so much.

I also had the driveshaft armor upgraded to reinforced 1/4" steel from the 1/8" steel that I mangled last time I was offroad.

And bundled the lines and wires running to the rear axle with a steel cable to reduce the chance of stuff getting ripped out by flying debris, rocks, branches, shrubbery, etc.

The axle vent was also moved from the factory differential housing location to the axle tube where it should have been in the first place.

Idea borrowed from the heavy equipment industry. The fabrication shop I use amazes me with their ingenuity!

LOL! It's worse than you think -- I leave for California on September 6th for tech inspection on the 11th!

Fortunately I don't have much left before the race. Get the big fuel cell back and install it, anytime locker mod, anytime fog light mod, new 2.5" front coil-overs w/reservoirs, communications equipment, fire extinguishers, air filtration systems to plug into the helmets, new tires, and fancy stickers. Not TOOO bad.
