    Thanks. Too bad it ends before the spares were mounted that way.

    I just want to know if there are any serious negatives to going dual flat vs dual vertical. The way I see it dual flat is way more flexible with the bed configuration than dual vert. And its something different. Any veterans here wanna chime in with their opinions? Thanks!

    Cage. Much more sturdy. It would look sweet on the clip Lambo style however you would need some slack on the harness, somehow attach to the fiberglass which will make it less rigid.

    for me, it was preference... it's easier for me to roll stand ups in and out of the rear cage then lay flats...

    I think Baldwin did not have Ebberts on the list as Driver of record. If they are not listed as the co-pilot or other driver, they can not have people hop in to the truck to drive. And BJ drives the entire race most of the time. But im not 100% sure with the BITD rules

    X2. Obviously preference in looks will help you decide but it is easier to remove and place verticals vs lay down.
