Temu trophy truck has arrived to pahrump!

Race ready 😍

-6 vs -8 has basically no effect in this situation. It was over heating in bone stock configuration?

That’s not enough cooler being mounted there. Hook the factory heat exchanger back up and all your problems will go away.

I might have some camper anchor shit for you.

This is the first year for the loop race.

The truck is a factory 3.0 truck, no reason to engine swap it at this point. The 3.0 is a reliable engine. Slow as shit but 6.13 gears help. This is the Legacy baja Nevada race, basically Vegas to Reno race course made into a loop to double the length.

The Nobel steed 😍

anyone going? 1,036 miles total (908 for sportsman) 36hr time limit I’ll be there chasing and driving 3088, 7s ranger. Going to be an adventure for sure! 3.0 v6, 5spd manual, drum brake 8.8, 37” tires, BTF spindle and upper arm, deaver f31s. Let’s get the party started!

I can’t answer many of your questions but I do know at some point RPM plays a role in tooth spacing and size. Would doing the math on gear ratio and putting the tone ring on the output yoke be a better option?

Measured my nearly bald MTR that’s still mounted today. Also 34-34.25”. Probably was nearly or right on 35” when new. My narrow (15x7 I think) wheels probably make them a little taller than a wide wheel.

Not true in my findings. The 35” MTR race tires are bigger diameter than the general red labels I had before. Pretty sure it’s a true 35” tire.

The ol tow pig was looking rough. Being a broke ass I’m not going to spend the money having it repainted. Did my best to make it look better. Did poppy’s patina, roof I wiped on, hood I sprayed. It’s far from perfect but worlds better.

Yes

For vehicle fab no reason to run anything over .035 wire. Out shop we prefer .030 for everything vehicle related. Only use .035 when building industrial stuff, burning through scale on hot rolled plate and welding 3/8” thick stuff.
