Your computer skillz are only equal to those I posess...probably superior, I'm Amish...& no, I'm only seeing a home page. Though the self repairing chair does look interesting.

OK, upon further perusal, "you must be logged in to do dat."

Ok,taking whats being done to the toyota as the route I will be taking. Shocks, springs, and beaf up the needed. Add coolers and remote resevors adding fuids and keeping the stock systems cooler. Roll cage is another one that im gona need to figure out, A custom boltin might be a good rout. Im not trying to make the truck undrivable after baja.

Bolt-in won't cut it for competition, but you won't need to go chromoly either as standard 2.75 DOM is what you'll likely need unless they're spec'ing something oddball in whatever class you fit. I'm currently working on a full cage for my rally VX and have budgeted about $3K for the job, so you'll be looking at about the same for the materials and labor. It will still be driveable afterwards, but definitely permanently altered from the cage pads and carry-throughs.

There are a few pics here that might help from my rally project: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...y+beast&page=2

I could never quite put a reason to it...now I can. I grew up in N.E. Pa.. I am the only person I know, that has hooked and driven Percheron's, Belgians, Mules, and hot ol' Standardbreds. We had the only phone for miles, and (except for a few Mennonites) the only vehicles. I made a living for years, with horses (they've broken most of my bones) Now I know why I like you

Sorry Chopper, that should have read "nearly Amish in my computer skills"...I'd rather you were mad at me for my misinformation, than have you think I'm something I'm not. I don't have anywhere near your depth of experience with horses, though our somewhat primative/ rural backgrounds are similar.
Moon, sorry for the thread jack.

[MoonRaker]

No problem, my thoughts of horses are there nice animals. My neighbor had one trained like a dog. I wouldnt ever get back up on one though, went out with a few friends while in the army and the ride was finda till we turnned them around then ALL of them started racing towards the barn, there were guys that fell off, jumped into trees and me the only one still on the horse standing in the Barn after a mile of full tilt lack of control and hand prints left in the saddle, never been on a horse since.

[Chopper]

Notice the phone and vehicle references...we were the only non-Amish/Mennonite in a pretty large area. Everyone helps harvest everyone else this time of year...stuff rubs off, when you're a kid. My apologies Moon, back to Baja.

Has anyone played with a system like this on the VX. We just installed one on a test car (supercharged RX-8) and it nearly froze the intake pre supercharger. This impressed me and thats hard to do. They claim 100 hp on mustang cobra all motor and up to 400 degrees cooler exaust.

That's been rolling around the back of my brain since I saw it in the Summit Racing catalog...thought it would be great in conjunction with the S/C.
Since the S/C boosts the power up to near the limits recommended for our tranny, it's probably good that I can't afford it.
