    This truck isn't an actual 2012 right? I was at the show and checked out the interior and all resembles the previous model. if this is true, how did you do the front end swap?

    Correct - it is a 2007 with a 2012 front clip.

    Oooooh that's a nice setup! I'll definitely be tracking this truck from way out here in NJ during this year's 1000 race.

    Looks like they did it up right. Mike, I can't tell you how much I wish your kit was available back in 2007! :eek:

    thanks mark. its going slowly but its growing, hope to be outta the garage and in a shop in about 6months . how have you been ? i think the mdr race was the last i kicked it with most you guys.need another run soon its getting cooler out.

    the ridgecrest race in 2 weeks is open to prerunning . we are running the red tacoma and im gonna prerun in "the skyranch express" . you should come out ,prerun and hang out.

    with about 350-400 lbs in the bed i am at 8.5" bump travel from top of axle tube to bottom of frame.
    ive always been selling the shock hoops , just not something i list on my site. i just got another order for shock hoops from a guy in s.america and i am making them bolt on . i just dont have the jigging down to properly weld in the crosstube, all you will have to weld is the shock tabs on the axle and the crossbar to the frame . let me know if your interested .

    i can tell you how much i wish i came out with this in 2007 too! but better late than never. when your next race?

    :D

    I'm getting geared up for something in 2012. If Primm comes back to the states, I'll run that one again. Otherwise I'll look into a non-SCORE event. Maybe I'll be stupid and give Vegas to Reno a shot.

    I have quite a few things in the works at the moment and will have some nice build thread updates in another month or so. :)

    yes, carbon fiber skids. i dont know why and they feel flimsy as hell . but as long as they dont break in half they should do fine. wouldent be the first choice but when shit is free i guess you cant complain!
