That's the one. With a small kid in the car too. :yikes: :yikes:
It's always fun coming through the other side safe, though. :smiley_drive:

That gold D1 has been around for years... Therefore I cannot understand why, at an event like this, he needs limb risers, 4 (maybe 5) 5-gallon Jerry Cans, sand ladders, and a 1650 series Pelican Case strapped to the roof. Probably driving with an 1/8 of a tank of fuel so he can be even more top heavy.

I mean, yeah, probably not -- but like I said earlier, if looking cool was 0% of the equation, we wouldn't be in Rovers. :sombrero:
Expo'd out, maybe, but you have to admit that's a ************ looking rig. And maybe he wanted to see how far he could take it with full kit? He probably has a pretty good idea of the angle limits now. :smiley_drive:

Just here...
It was his new shop truck. Really nice with some cool things done to it and it did really well on the course, unfortunately with a different driver. When Justin go in, he lost all forward progression and retained reverse.
I dont think the owner of the D1 babies it at all. He wasnt putting on a show. I believe he legitimately drives it like that all the time.

Got pics of that too. Kinversand is my new favorite color. Two weeks prior to the event this truck was a parts car sitting under a tree covered in sap. Justin pulled a miracle getting that truck ready for the event.
And no, that gold D1 is never babied.

HAHAHA I have basically the same picture. I wonder who was crapping his pants more - him or that judge!
Here were some of the videos I took from the event, if anyone wants to see full runs (including "the other" winning run in Justin's truck from the inside-the-truck POV):

We built the Tf truck in less then 2 weeks and did not have time to do the 5 spd conversion. The ZF was strong enough to win the event but sadly it was its last ride.
To see day by day pics of the build we put them on our Facebook page starting here on November 2, 2010

Next time I'm going to pay attention to the whole "don't hit the cones" statement a little closer.
Josh, do you have lockers? Truck looks good.
