No I mostly jump in 2x and the truck is way over built to make sure I don't worry about breaking. Next time I'm taking the truck to ocotillo ill post it on here first for anyone who wants to come along

Most likely it will be new years that I'm out there again I was thinking about going thanksgiving but the fiance vetoed that one cause she was sick during Halloween in the dezert and needs a little break after the baja 1000.

We went out and tested the new ligts lastnight and they are amazing. The roof lights are so bright I can't even tell when I turn my 3 Hellas in the front on. Im thinking of putting. Couple bars in the grill now instead cause theywork so well.

The raptor got blinged out too...

On december 2nd my friend was at my house and we were talking about races and decided we wanted to do another race. we found the closest race was 200 mile race on december 5th so we really quickly prepped the truck and took a day trip to barstow for the holiday 200, in the class i run there was 14 trucks that started the race and we started off the line last because we were a late entry. we were just trying to go for a finish so the rear start was nice not to have everyone faster nerfing us. i was surprised to see us in 7th place by the end of the first lap and by the 3rd we were up in 3rd place. we were able to keep 3rd place at the finish though the last 4 laps we were battling overheating because the radiator fan kept freezing up and we would have to stop and get out and smack on it till it started running again. I was very suprised to walk away from the race making money, fuel and hotel were paid for and i still got 150 bucks cash

I wish all races could go that smooth, we have another race coming up for the 700 truck in a couple weeks. we are also going to be trying to plan on entering all 3 trucks in the same race sometime soon so my dad Scott and I can all race against eachother.


I have grown to love these wheels, I'm glad I painted the beadlocks when I painted the truck it really changed how the wheels look.
