Yep, that's my garage. It's known as "The Toy Shop"... :Wow1:
Nice eye picking out the toys. The Shifter Karts I use for training, I don't race them anymore. My back ground is motorsports and I still race SCCA but my mostly I raced Offshore Powerboats for about 20 years. I figured I'd pushed my luck enough after that. Plus my wife put her foot down and said, enough! And so I said, ok... :bike_rider:

Ben- what are you going to use if selling the RTT? Plans for the JK or the tow rig?

Another Ironman 4x4 RTT. This RTT will be installed on the Brute and will be sold with the Brute then I'll get a new Ironman RTT for the Jeep support truck. I installed rear air bags on the support truck this week too. They are nice.

Very cool I still race Spec Miata's and Mustang GT's in T2. The Miata's are awesome cars. I run Daytona all the time. I'd like to do Homestead this year too. Have you ever driven a Shifter Kart? They are INSANE!

On the RTT, my best suggestion is to keep it low. I would actually make a rack so that the tent is (at most) no taller than the roof, then set up everything under that in the bed on slides (like this http://www.bedslides.com/products.php). I had a RTT on mine up high since I already had the rack and it was too high, you could really feel it both on curves and sidehills and on the road (even with the HEMI).

dh, great suggestion and that's the plan. I am installing now the Thule adjustable xSporter rack. I think I can get it low enough to be just at or below the roof line of the Brute. And with this rack it give me the option to raise the tent once at the camp site for better access to the bed.
Here's a picture of the Thule rack and I'll post pics of it mounted on the Brute after this weekend.

Thank you. The color is the original color from the donor TJ, Sienna Red. It looks awesome in person!
