RidderFab Offroad Racing unveils the 413 Limited 4 Toyota Land Cruiser at Crandon International Off Road Raceway.
June 15th 2012, Team RidderFab driver Jimmy Ridderbush and crew member Jason Feucht fire up the #413 for only the third time while working to load the RidderFab semi to make the trip to the Annual Spring Brush Run in Crandon, WI. Since 1984, every June; Off Road racers from all over the world have been making the pilgrimage to challenge the most infamous 1.75 miles of dirt in the short course world. After a couple years of regrouping and six months of building; Team RidderFab is once again ready to take on the high speed of the daunting first turn, the Traxxas Launch Zone, Calamity Corner and the Argonne Loop.
Limited 4x4 consists of a custom built tube frame truck no longer than 117” wheel base, no less than 3600lbs, no more than 93” wide. Wheel travel is limited to 14” in the front and 16” in the rear. A Limited 4 must represent a truck that was produced over 5000 units per year and is readily available to the public. RidderFab built a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser to meet the class specifications.
New truck blues offered a few setbacks this weekend for the RidderFab team. Only one race was completed on Sunday. The crew remains undaunted. With some suspension and steering modifications the truck will be back on the track in Antigo July 6th and 7th with a TORC/MORR Sportsman Challenge. Look for the orange, white and yellow Toyota Land Cruiser sponsored by Prusik Livestock to work to the front of the Limited 4 class as it gets dialed in to compete.
