Do you have a time frame as to when your first race will be. I'd like to come down and look it over. Sound like an interesting project.
I have a friend who raced class 8 and decided on building a new class 8. The economy kind of put it on the shelf (he runs a plumbing business) but
he's back at and maybe next year he'll race it.

If you run a 32" tire, your gearing won't be too tall, and your parts will withstand the inevitable Baja beating that comes with the territory. Maybe
that will allow you to run your stock differentials. Good luck!

With the truck all race-prepped, covered in Baja stickers, you'll surely remember.

Why a four wheel drive if you are racing this truck? There can't be very many Class 7 or any racing trucks with 4WD, are there?
If there is a class that is only 4WD (Class 3?) that you can compete in, great! I do love 4WD... but that is for slower driving... to save the parts
and crawl over tough stuff.
Tell me more Glenn, please!

Sweet... Speaking of Ivan... Maybe have the fellow's at Stewart's Raceworks go over it to make sure it is a solid as possible?
Our son Josh is one of them!

Oh no, I understand... I admire you and this project... very much. I know you have wanted to do it since almost as long as I have known you (12-13
years)!
If you get a corporate sponsor... or win the lotto, then have Raceworks give it a once over... Many small teams actually use the shop, not all are big
bucks.

Great news Glenn. Maybe taking a look at the trucks in Nov will provide some ideas. (Not the big budget trucks, the ones at the end of the line
so to speak)
Hope to see you soon

Kevin may run the 1000 with a quad team from Santa Rosalia and Guerrero Negro if He can take the time off from school. We are prepping the KTM for a
run in the 250 next March.

Well get to work, we want to see the finished product. I'm thinking of getting a set of Deaver springs for my Tacoma.
