Nice, what kind of 450!?? I'll roost your toofs! LOL

Oh and I'm ready to get 2Ghetto on the road... but having problems with the visual for smog tests. WTF is wrong with these people. They are so full of shit and misinformed on the laws I swear.

Dude was even giving me shit for my diff being vented to atmosphere. I swear that's how they are stock!! WTF. And also that stupid hose that goes from manifold to the intake (like that does anything besides feed hot air to your motor.. brilliant) This dude also said "I dont like crawling under these things" What does that have to do with smog!?

Then he said I didnt have the motor identification tags from the hood. I said uhhh there arent any on the hood. All the ones that are on truck stock are there(on core support). Then he said he wasn't gonna argue with me... go take it somewhere else with a snide "good luck" comment to follow. I checked my hood when I got home. Needless to say... I was right.

I swear they see it and are just trying to stay away from smogging it! Other dude I tried didnt want to because of the cell. (modified fuel tank).

Hit me up if you have any suggestions and can help this brotha out...

06 yz!!! its suuuper clean!! im jazzed to be back on a bike again its been like three years!! i used to ride everyweekend when i was younger.

call me tomorrow afternoon i mayyy have the smog deal!!!

Nice!!! Don't hurt yourself getting back in the groove.

The new 450's are so awesome arent they!? That's the 5 speed with AL frame too, right?

Been wanting a new ride cuz my bike is BEAT these days. Brother just blew a bearing in his CRF 450 too... gotta split the case! Oh well. Now that I finished 2Ghetto.. I should have some $$ to get a new one soon. Diggin the KTM's.

I might have the smog issue handled... but we'll see.... I'll let you know. Thanks

Ive smogged everything Ive owned and brought my old truck, and a built jeep to the guy on bancroft and hes really chill. Passes my failing gas caps every time haha.

Im in too

please excuse the racing newb. When is there a plaster city race? I thought those races were done for since MDR died?

Used to LOVE going out to Superstition on new years to ride and also spectate the MDR race.

I'm thinking it would be cool to take 2Ghetto out and fool around when there's the next race out there ...

*** EDIT***

OK, did some googling.. looks like it's April 6th-8th?? HDRA. Do they run a similar course as MDR did?

Dang, the front looks pretty wide. What are you gonna run for fiberglass?

it looks wicked gnarly cuz there are no doors its only like 85" up front and 83" in the back.

Is there gunna be any lift built into the beams or is it gunna be that low?

i like this..but then i dont.

this truck was so clean and a badass DD. but its probably gonna make a bitchin race truck too

oh yeah the beams are gunna get bent and such just like the other truck we just gotta set the thing at a ride height.

and it will still be suuper clean and kinda DDish haha

Fuckinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Ssssssssssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!

how the fuck is that an update? theres nothing that resembles a 98 ranger.


looks fuckin killer though thats forsure

well the uhhh roof is a 98!!!! yeah thats it the roof!! haha i hnestly cannot wait to corner this thing. It is 123" long (center of hub to center of hub), and roughly 85" wide up front and 83" wide in the back and the cab is almost dead center in the wheel base and the seat will be dead center in the cab and the motor is getting shoved back a bit. keepin the v6. so it should be really light and nimble for an extra cab.

Why did you set the swingers on the inside of the frame?

1 Seater??

i have no clue haha, we are just copying the front end on the race truck and thats how PRD kurt did it. it works good on our truck so im sure it will work good on this one, if there are pros and cons lay them on me im dumb when it comes to this stuff.

Rad!

The only cons would be if you get a V8 for clearance. Nothing wrong with it just wondering.
