    Your are not paying 200K for a race truck, if it had mud flaps or not, you are paying for the race developed technology. Like for example, the ability to drive from Phoenix to Las Vegas and back with out overheating in July.

    Not complaining, just questioning. Thanks for your input. I’ll look for those drum brake threads. I hear drums are superior for off road. :anonymous:
