Baja 1000 - Trophy Truck by Mt. Logan

[broncodan]

I will ask the questions I am sure everyone is dying to - What does building a truck like this cost?

 

[PJTPW]

What mods if any are you doing to the kingpin bushings / springs to make them stand up the the pounding they'll take?

incredible. Even though I couldn't care less about fishing, that is a trip of a lifetime. Seriously, if I could do one thing in life, I would drive all over the world like that and see everything I could possibly see.

Need a sidekick?

OK, so they got it buttoned up enough to take it to Vegas, but it isn't quite done... the coilovers ended up being about 4-6 inches too tall, it definitely won't be sitting that tall come race day.

He's still got a couple of late nights left on that thing, but it sure sounds mean!

Here's a couple of pics mixed in with all the supercrawl pics:

I hope it receives a windshield...

I think it looks great. This thing will look mean when it sets down 4-6". The work looks top notch. Not just anyone can build a truck to do what this one is intended for. My hat's off to ya. Nice job guys.

I hope it receives a windshield...

After the race it will have stock glass put back in.

So how'd they do?

 

[hilltj]

I don't know all the details yet, but after losing a couple of power steering pumps and blowing a rear axle shaft they pulled it in... hopefully they took some pictures down there to share.
