Starting to get the car prepped for the 2010 season.
Fresh Trail-Gear rear axle housing, inner axles, a disk brake kit and my favorite part the inspection hole.

Also got the new Trail-Gear front axle housing, it looks beefy. Those are some shiny balls, just got to get it ready for paint. I'll post more pics of it when I get the inspection hole in, the shock mounts and the paint done.

Also time for trail gears trunion bearing eliminators. They look pretty sweet, my buddy has been running them for a while and loves them, so it's time to give them a try.

Also time to redo the electrical so people stop making fun of my rats nest. I'll let one of my buddys do that, I hate electrical.

The trail gear boys are the guys I wheel with so they take care of me. I have I think every trail gear part that they sell that will work on an f-toy. I think the only part I'm not running yet are the dirty thirtys. I hate to fix something that is not broken, my longs still are in great shape.

With my driving you still can't tell which way I'm going. I figured the motor would be the give away though.

Just got back from oroville, we were able to pull off a first place finish. All the new parts held up great, nothing broke all weekend. I pounded on the new housings and everything held up well and I could tell a big difference in the ground clearance, the car finally stopped good with my new rear T-G disk brakes. Trunion bearing eliminator kit held up great. I'm loving the parts, Thanks Trail Gear!hows the clearence between the tierod and leaf springs?

I have no issues with that.

Time to rebuild the f-toy again and retire it from the comps. For now a rear 4 link and complete rebuild of the cage, just got a new trail-gear winch rope since my old one was about 30' long and about 8 years old. Pictures soon.:smokin:
