Yea, but its not good...got the truck really fixed up nice for NORRA. New Spring under setup, Currie reared, new fiberglass all the way around and fresh paint. Will post up the pics....Went to TRR to hang with the ICON and KC boys and ate BBQ......Then we went racing.
This was our fourth...
Liking the blue powder coat, maybe I should do something with my grey ones....Sorry did not get back to you, was down in Baja to watch the start of the 1K...fun stuff. Glad you figured out the layout on the sway bar.
The setup I was talking about was From Rogue Racing and mounts in front of the LCA via a link arm to a torsion bar which runs across the front of the truck. Nice setup.
Of course they get product for free, and marketing contributions, they need it to make their racing teams operate. But the top guys have choices as to who they hook up with and it's not always the biggest check.
I do look at what the top guys run. Its not a matter of who BJ or anyone else is sponsored by. Those guys have choices and performance is more important than anything. If they are running something on the truck its more likely because it works for them IMO.

I can't believe I missed this! Bummer...was at SEMA all week busy as all get out, we took off this morning and drove right by this event in Patty's new Raptor on our way to Dana Point. I even said to Patty, right over there where all those rigs and trailers are is where we go mess around...

The hood mounts are straight forward. We used Outlaws standard hood mount.
The light bar is my design, as are the 6061 hangers that mount to tabs welded to the roll cage. Rod ends thread into the hangers and control rods run aft to a third tab on the...
Got some great photos this trip, blue sky and mountains, Cactus and flowers, of course Raptors ripping it up...but I wanted to share a photo of why this was a truly great event. I have been on a few runs and been in Baja a bit. Your support crew makes or breaks you. All kinds of stuff can happen...
Here is a shot of my rig last weekend at the El Bandito 500, lined up for the first day's run down the coast. The hood mounts are KC Pods, a full set across the top...HUGE and awesome! LOL
We had an awesome time! Perfect weather and a great support team! Have to wait tip Feb? Damn, I want to go back next week for a do over! Photos are coming...got to find that silly little cable LOL
