First off, what type of racing we are talking about?

 

high speed,soft shocks,or shocks that will absorb most bumps stuff like that. just high speed baja type of racing

 

My guess

Maybe $10K?

 

The first thing you need to do is go buy a pair of pants with deep pocket.
Seriously, we can’t offer any suggestions with out knowing a budget.

 

20 grand budget possibly 35 grand

 

buying one takes the fun out of building one

 

Are you married?
If so, you won’t be long.
If not, you won’t be for a long time.

You are going to need lots of time and money.
Dare I mention Long Travel?

 

So you got tools, and have fab skills? Asking to see the approach.

 

Be an engineer that knows how to weld up a tube frame from scratch.

 

Then live and learn like the rest of us did.

Lots of good information out there on building these type of vehicles.

Do your research .

If your building a real race Truck start looking for sponsors.

Read all the rules for the different classes.

Look into the specs for the roll cage it sucks to fail the safety inspection.

Racing means lots of spare parts !

Good Luck !

 

For the sake of not getting screwed, I suggest you do some research and find some examples of what you want, and then ask questions based on that. Otherwise you’re going to get answers from all over the map.

 

We can start by this in the front.

plus a racing deaver pack and all that’s required to party. Don’t forget about your cage, seat, seatbelts and fuel system, oh and lightning oh and labor, yeah labor.

 

And an extra set of front bypasses that I did not link.

 

1st post ever was this one.
On a scale of 1-10, the seriousness of this threads sits at a 3
Had it been a Friday, it would have been a 1.5

 

x2 Perhaps another one that wants all the research done .

If the answer were not to his liking ask some place else.

 

I can't fault anyone for having a daydream.

Voice that out loud, however, and you learn real quick why everyone doesn't drive their racecar-superyacht to school.

 

ill be honest that yota definitely is a beauty

 

How do you make $1 million dollars racing?

Start with $2 million, you'll be down to a million pretty quick!

 

Why not head over to the builds section and check out what others have done? Something will catch your eye, start reading and you’ll have a great jumping off point to start putting together a list of ideas.
