http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...,5902685.story Im puttin this thread here cause its affected us in the off road racing world. Plus i dont want racerangers thread to get derailed. Im very sad for the familys that had this happen to them. its something they should not have to deal with...

i can see this thread is gunna go the worng way but im gunna state one thing about that. You can not prtect eveyone in a desert race, its common knowledge to not stand so darn close to the road. you wouldnt stand right next to a freeway with no barrier would you? MORE can only set so many rules...

x2. this is gunna be one even the whole off road community is gunna have to pull together for keep off road racing goin. the way the media and others who have never set foot in desert racing are portraying it, we are gunna have to fight to keep doin what we do without tons of restrictions

Nice!!! wish my truck would fit in a trailer that thin lol

dave@threat is just awesome. :D:D cant wait for mine!! :icon_cheers:

he does not have pro comp springs, have you not read all the way through his build? the truck is much different then when he started. He is runnin a chevy 63 leaf spring thats been re-ached. Jumping a lift kitted truck is bad news to begin with and ive yet to see a leaf spring other than Giants...

completely agree. Race, we will let you have your thread back :icon_thumby: :beer:

Yes ive priced all that stuff out. But when and how often on different vehicles have you seen injectors constantly go out? or the HPOP go out? and all the other stuff you quoted? Obviously on high milage 7.3, yes those things will become an issue down the road but for trucks in the 150K - 250K...

wanna explain? I work on these trucks all day and have had first had experience with them trying to tow up 6% grades with OD on. Those auto trannys dont last long hauling over 5k up long grades. never siad it wouldnt haul anything heavy on a flat road :rolleyes: I beg to differ. Running a 7.3...

i hate to say it race but with your ranger on the back, campin gear, and any toher quads/bikes that 2v 5.4 will be strugglin bad at any hill. it will get ya down the road ok if its flat but even then you will still be pushin her hard. really try to find a manual trans one cause the autos dont...
