    looked to be a spring under kit with bypasses of some sort in the rear.

    and yeah that frame definitely has some flex.

    I've been looking at race radios since my mom said she'd get me one for my birthday...I don't know a whole lot about them if you guys recommend one in particular.

    I know the Icom V8000 is pretty popular. I'm looking for a complete package in the $400 range...the Icom F5021 Chase Package on PCI Race Radios looks pretty decent. I don't think I'll need anything else?

    Searched the other threads, didn't see a whole lot unless I'm missing something.

    the black raptor is SUA and it looks like the white is still SOA with a bedcage. the white one is caged, which is cool.

    simple fix to the frame problem... cut it off behind the cab :D

    because they can...

    Short teaser video of Joe Bacal's factory Lexus race truck. Stock Full = stock suspension. The Lexus upper and lower control arms are very similar to the 05+ Tacomas. He's running King shocks and bypasses up front with some large Kings coming into the passenger area in the rear.

    Not bad for mid travel riding on 37s. :cool:

    Because you are on their station messing around when they want to talk to their racer. Its really annoying during a race unless you are on the team saying something important.

    except the FCC NEVER Fines people. My dad works with them and he said those guys could care less about that. Its more of those old grouchy HAM guys that would get more mad.
