Then put on limiting straps for the times the truck gets aired outImage

Well I decided to enter Insanity Fab Winter Challenge.....and decided why not completely re-work the truck. So it got trussed diffs front and rear, 5:38 gears, 3 link up front with 2.5x14 Fox coilovers. Out back and an exo cage

We got it all together and went for a trial run. Worked great but I'm hard on stuff. Broke the front 60 and twisted the truss all up. With a week before we had to go to Idaho.

After talking it over with friends we decided to push and try to fix it. That night I drove to Houston and got another diff the next day had it stripped down. Then I passed it over to Jordon at HMF and he built a new beefier truss. We got the diff back and Sean and I swapped gears from one diff to the new one.

We got it all together and a hot lap around the block and off to Idaho. The race was a blast. The truck got flipped on its side, wrecked a door, broke the driver's side Knuckle and broke the sector shaft off the steering box. Oh plus got a flat steer tire

Then I flopped the truck again just out for a Sunday cruise. I had to test the cage to make sure it works right

With the truck looking all new! It was off to Tail Creek race. Was a blast really fun race and we managed to come home with a 2nd place, fastest pass, and a broken truck! Do you know what happens when you jump a 7000lb truck not knowing your bump stops are torn off!
