G'day

This guy seems to be kicking some arse in the competitive rockcrawling scene over there. Forgive an Aussies ignorance but can anybody inform me as to the type of truck he is running. Suspension, Drivetrain, tires etc.:beer:

Does he still run leaves up front? It seems quite a few of the very competitive rigs are running coilovers at the rear and leaves at the front, what is the logic behind this?

He's on the board here....MikeS.....his spotter is Lance, web daddy

And they are winning for a couple of simple reasons......
1. very good rig......works good in all conditions
2. very good driving......knows the rig
3. very good spotting.....body by taco bell
4. on top of their game.....each knows their job, and work well together.
