    Next up is a full roll cage, for obvious reasons. I had fuel issues all day where the truck would shut down when the RPMs got high. I will be swapping out the gas tank for a much better one and maybe having some injectors cleaned and tested. Actually the tank will be from VT_Mavericks old VX and the drive shafts are from it too. So his old VX is living on in my race truck. We are trying to come up with some suspension mods to take the bumps better. It is a work in progress. As you have seen the bumper can reall take a beating!

    The funniest part of the race was when they were releasing the groups of 3 trucks. Each time they would announce the driver and make and model of vehicle. Then he came to me and said..... Driving a uh.... What the hell is that thing?? What's that??? An Isuzu thing of sorts??? By the end of the race he just said here's the Mars Rover back again! Very funny! I lost a lot of time working on it by having to stop and tell people what it was. Everyone that is was very cool.

    Lol... never imagined my parts would end up in a race truck. But glad to hear she's still putting smiles on people's faces even in the afterlife.
