    Thanks guys. We're probably going to have a LSD for the track and a welded diff for drifting at adams kart track in Riverside for fun. Coilovers should yield enough travel for what we're doing, but if not, I can always throw together some arms for it.

    We're looking for an FIA approved fuel cell and Sparco Circuit seats for the next phase of the build...

    When is your truck getting the cage Jake?
    Lose = Be careful not to lose that. Loose = The bolts are loose. There = She is there now. Their =They have their things. They're = They're going to the mall. To = They came to the house. Too = That's too bad. Your = Your dinner is ready. You're = If you're 150lbs you better have a 6 pack

    No more desert trips until I get a cage and some reinforcement around the shock mounts....

    No more desert trips until I get a cage and some reinforcement around the shock mounts.... Wow, I just realized how much this is going to suck. Do they perscribe anything for dirt withdrawls?

    You should be good if you get a NASA logbook. Just safety stuff from there. And make the car as high as you can, Gorman = rough. Massive skid plate too.

    Yeah, we have some 3/16 and 1/8th 6061 for skid plates. Planning on covering the oil/trans pans, and rear diff.

    Update! Car still needs a fuel cell, bumper, some cage work, and some other stuff, but it's going out drifting tonight. Anyone who wants to show up is more than welcome. It's at Adams Kart Track in Riverside.

    Here's the details:
