100% agreed pads and rotors need to be upgraded and I love Hawk products. I have Remmen on my 200 because of the partnership. I'm not saying a BBK isn't a good investment but I don't think it's necessary.

I did suspension and aux tank first. I will say after the S/C i had to swap out rear springs because I had so much squat on hard acceleration that it created some weird dynamics off road. I'm going to chime in a bit on the need for upgraded brakes topic. I fully realize this is not apples to...

I love my supercharger. Off road, 3rd or 4th gear with the center diff locked puts a smile on my face every single time. It's great around town but to fully appreciate the torque/hp the center diff lock needs to be engaged. I've had a few fast cars and I really enjoy them (probably too much) but...

Haven't posted an update in a while but excited about this mod. Just crossed over 243k miles and as you can see in the first photo the foam was pretty much gone from my seats despite the leather being in great shape. I had a local company redo my seats. New foam, more bolster and new leather. I...

I moved to Arizona a few months ago so to will be awhile before I can get back to Utah. But let me see if I can get someone else to snap a photo

Indeed I'm very happy with the suspension. I have a few thousand miles the springs and it drives so well. The stance is just right. Thanks @cruiseroutfit for the awesome service.

Been to busy to post lately but got a chance to get some powder coating done cheap by a friend of a friend just before the Baja 1000. Decided to try something different.

Yes. Class rules require Oem suspension links front and rear. It does have a 3in body lift to accommodate the tires

The hurricane that went through Baja and all the race trucks in front of us made the course just soft and choppy the entire time so we had some heating issues on the shocks. They could be cooled by driving slower and highway sections. The course was just so choppy this year it was brutal on the...

Hard to say. I was one of the drivers in the lx600 this year but it had been through a lot before it got to me at Rm599. The biggest difference is delivery of power and it took me a bit to get comfortable with the inputs. Basically had to override my muscle memory from driving Monica/v8. A...

Sort of. They also opted to take the sportsman cutoff which eliminated the hardest 110 miles of the course. Not disparaging them at all. The cutoffs exist for a reason and a handful of classes need them to make the cut off time but apples and oranges between the trucks and the race speeds

They are planning on 6 mpg during race conditions. We plan at 5 mpg. Our tank is slightly bigger so pitting will be in the same location for each truck. That was a big relief and made my job much easier

Nice to see the 200 formerly known as Amie coming back to life

I'm still trying to talk him into making a few more. I did get him to turn this for my fj60.

thank you both. I figure if I'm ever going to do it now is the time as I'll have whole interior out.
