well, you're 2wd, so that's a start

 

I had her posted few months back jack Lol

She need to commit suicide

Is the girl in the green even of age?

 

exactly what i was thinking

 

seriously considering it if i can get another truck to DD but soon i'll be an even more broke college kid so we'll see

 

I thnk he was serious about the 2wd part, if I had a 2wd it would be LT, no doubt.

 

considering what exactly? baja???

 

i mean, i was poking a little fun , but it is true, he's got a leg up on us as far as travel number attainability goes.

 

for stock baja classes, 100%

 

just truck racing in general. baja,dakar,etc. probably start off somewhat small like the mint 400 or somethin though.

 

if i hit the lotto we'd be having this convo face to face....drunk....at the lambo dealership...

also i didnt say today i said one day

 

1) hell yeah!

2) do you actually understand what goes into building that kind of truck, from both a money and knowledge/skill standpoint? i'm not making fun of you, just trying to put it into persective; we're having a mod day because you cant do a factory axle swap on your own.

 

yeah i understand its expensive and time consuming and requires alot of knowledge and skill but isnt that what having a team is for? to bounce ideas off one another and to learn one another along with learning from mistakes?

 

like stated earlier one day not today

 

The roll cage alone would be expensive not to mention all the suspension work.

 

your hired

not unless i win the lottoe but even then maybe 2 years because the first year after winning the lotto would be spent traveling the world

 

most folks that run races like baja are running garage built trucks that they either built all on their own, or maybe with a few friends. then they just round up some buddies for a chase team. when you watch the videos and promotions, you're seeing the same 10ish truck over and over. they are the large minority that have dedicated build teams or race shop sponsorships to do the work for them. all you see in this picture (a roller, minus wheels and tires), from camberg, cost you $50,000



to build your own race ready vehicle, you'll need to own, of have nearly unlimited access to a machine show, with everything from a dremel, to welders, to a bridgeport mill (ideally cnc). and then you have to know how to use it all.

not trying to kill any dreams, just want to show why you hear every other guy with a prerunner saying they want to run baja someday, but then stock class only has 100 trucks in it, and fewer trucks as you work your way up the classes.

 

Well you could see why it would cost 50k, look at the fab work it takes

 

its so sexy though

 

lol, i like it

for a cool $450,000 they's build you a ready to race, 100% turn-key, TT class truck

 

450k? i better be getting a blowjob with this damn truck
