    ...too much shit to list.
    Needs a motor. I've been toying with the idea of picking it up and dropping in a 5vz but the wife will probably kill me if I get another truck.

    beams work and my buddies ranger with his 4.5" over beams kill my bolt on kit. also a fucking monkey can extend a stock rangers beams so thats nice to be able to do it yourself with some minor experience, but at higher speeds i much prefer being in a 6.5" over A arm truck and ect. especially around corners, beams work but there camber goes ape shit real fast. Hince why so many beamed trucks 3 wheel so easily. who's the class 7 champ in score right now? Brandon Walsh's a- armed center-mounted toyota right out of encinitas and the guy right under him has an a armed ranger, and why are class 1 buggies and TT's using a -arm designed centermount kits? because its more stable and has a lower center of gravity. Beams can be great, but there never quit as stable as large a arm kit is prob a fair way to put it

    center mount like a TT? no in order to centermount you need a bulk head and you gotta scoot the engine back $$$$$$$$ well thats atleast if you want it done right.

    Did ya really just use a class with 2 entries as an example?

    That Ranger right under him is 3 points behind and also has beams NOT a arms, as far as being class champ lets see what happens after the 500 and 1000, my bet is Chamlee will be #1 again.

    No need for a bulk head if you have to go around rules like Class 7 you can still be center mounted and keep the stock frame and stock engine location.

    Stock frame is in there
