    The alignment cam tabs needed to be reinforced. Rather than simply gusseting the tabs, Carroll's Rod & Racecraft designed and cut these plates out of 3/8" cold-rolled steel on the waterjet and welded them in place to strengthen the suspension mounts.

    IMG_2337_0a4fe7cefbe70babe6472cda5ced629ed3c349a7.jpg
    All shock mounts are gusseted on all sides for strength.

    IMG_1983_02ca7af2ecb11ff3d8560b70162f98ec287036c0.jpg
    The rear shock hoops were tied into the rollcage and frame when they were fabricated. An additional tube now ties them together and provide mounts for 2 dust lights. Fire extinguisher mounts were welded to the shock hoops.

    The RaceAir filter is mounted behind the driver's seat and is controlled through a switch in the overhead console.

    IMG_2018_2ad845fb2f58e51abfc594b2e86480a69bb567bb.jpg
    Front shock hoops were fabricated to fit the 2.5" bypass shocks. The frame was reinforced where the tube attaches.

    The body mounts were trimmed and reinforced to clear the 33" tires.

    IMG_2333_d8dbb7eded8d414094f03d0756e232b9f2ea2caf.jpg
    The cross-member was cut and a U was installed to clear the upper bar of the torque arm. This wasn't an issue before but the Giant Motorsports spring-under suspension allows enough travel to require the clearance.

    Jesse at High Angle Driveline built this trophy truck driveshaft utilizing a Ford Superduty carrier bearing and double-cardigan CV joint. It has 10" of slip and allows for 33 degrees of articulation.

    A custom carrier bearing mount is required to make everything work, and its vertical placement was dictated by the clearance needed for the driveshaft skidplate at full droop.

    IMG_23452_cac8a330717299a952638401d5d1cd86744fdc41.jpg
    The race radio is installed in front of the shifter. It took some adjustment but it fits without interfering with the shifter or the electronics under the dash.

    The intercom fits perfectly in the center console.

    I'll post updates on breakage and the fixes once I have time to go through everything. In my haste to finish everything in time for the race I installed the lower control arm uniballs upside down. The weight of the truck was supported by the retaining clips and the passenger side let go during the race. I'll correct that, fix the collateral damage, and have a lot of test time before I race again next year.

    Considering it was an untested truck and I'm an untested driver, I'm pleased that the only breakage was minor and that nobody was injured.

    Thanks to everyone for their support! :thumbsup:[/quote]
    When racing were you running w/ the elocker engaged, 4x4, or open diff and all electro nannies off?
    I can't remember if you kept the toyota elock or went arb or detroit...
    the truck is looking good man. Wouldn't mind having it myself. Wanna trade? Mines newer!
