    It looks good but it's mostly just the graphics that make it look cool...

    stock mini class. not everyone races class 1 and tt's. obviously your not a racer. and actually with the same suspension thats on this truck, i can outrun most LT'ed guys .so dont underestimate a stockish looking truck

    and its already had the challange of champions as a test session so i dont know why you say these things . ill make sure to post back up when we finish the 1000 this year make you eat your words.

    What's the front setup on this truck like, I know it's stock class (don't know all the rules for it so I'm asking)?!

    Will it be at SEMA?!

    So I assume you did the firewall chop to clear those 35" tires?

    For the novice, what are the basic requirements of the "stock mini" class in terms of what you can and cannot do to the truck to qualify for the class?

    custom bilstein coilpass . coilover with external bypass tubes. and yes it will be at sema in the trd booth

    no firewall chop just massaging the inner panels to clear.

    I forgot the rulebook at the shop so ill post up stock mini base rules this week sometime . the truck has already done san felipe coc in its class so the truck is class legal and kicks ass doing it. roughly everything has to remain of stock design and shock mounting is the only open rule

    i was talking to the guy who is supost to drive it in the 1000 with andy bell he was a really cool dude but the cabmount is chopped to fit those 35 and its actually a 2007 tacoma with the new front bumper and it has stock uca and lca and by what he said apparantly there was a tacoma model in 07 that had a SUA on it stock so thats why they are able to put the defined SUA on the limited stock class. i dont know if it will pass spec but if it does im definatly rooting for him he was a cool guy and its a clean truck
