    To me its about the sport rather than him. This is what sells parts, keeps the industry strong, and keeps people interested in the sport. I dont want to see the sport decline so to me this is rad regardless of the dude who is behind it.

    Anyone have a link to the bushings I would use for my defined kit? I got it used from a buddy and figured while the springs are off the truck I'll replace the bushings

    X3 all I saw was a possibility to increase the audience for the sport we all love so much, newcomers don't care about Baldwin, monster got them to watch the truck got them intrigued and the girls kept them watching. This video is doing for trophy trucks what ken block did for rally, it's an awesome thing. Honestly Baldwin is like Jeff Gordon, a whiny little guy but makes it popular so he serves his purpose and regardless if you like him or not he's a necessary evil.

    The point is that trophy trucks are an amazing feat of engineering, I'm not sure if you watched the video of the trophy truck performing on a drag strip and road course vs. A boss mustang but it barely got beat and this is a truck built to go 120mph over any terrain you can imagine! It should be the most popular racing there is based solely on its adversity, it's about damn time everyone starts seeing it and starts dropping some money into it so the cost goes down for all of us originals in it! Do I like bj Baldwin? Not exactly but I love what he's doing for our sport and passion

    And sorry for a third post but hell yeah! I hope he hucks his trophy truck! That way dangler or Krish or some other TW member with a badass truck shows him up and shows everyone that garage fab is equal to or greater than pro racing fab, it'll only lower the cost of LT kits and get more people involved and out to huck fest every year. Maybe less trash talking and more thinking about it will help everyone, I hate douchebags but if they help achieve a common goal I'll support them

    Good to know and thank you, I know tony Stewart personally and a lot of people don't think highly of him but he's an amazing guy, there's always 2 sides

    Lots of expensive shit
    LOL, that's just cause your a fan boy that helps stroke his ego.

    If teaching kids its ok to urban off road, terrorize private property, and drive on irrigation canals is good for our sport than I must have missed the memo where people are cool with that now days.

    For those of us that live in Vegas we see BJs lack of giving a shit for laws on a daily basis. He thinks he owns the road.

    Rob macharen can drive circles around BJ and does it with class. He doesnt act like a punk who still has daddy bottle feeding him

    In all fairness that happened without Baldwin...shit heads are shit heads, they don't need an idol. Come to my town and see the "bros" rolling around that have no clue who bj is and you'll realize that punks are punks, but I'd still get behind a punk that boosted the popularity of my sport in a cool way. That video didn't show Anything about his complaints on winners, it just showed a bad ass truck, hot girls and even sweeter suspension articulation, nothing about terrorizing local businesses
