The external coolers obviously provide extra cooling, but were you worried about blocking typical front air flow to the actual radiator with those mounting plates?

Also pretty sure they ditched the a/c condenser so the radiator will still be getting better air flow than stock, even with those two coolers.

This is also true.

It bolts into the roll cage.

We sell Corbeau brackets that will let you mount PRP seats right into the stock holes. Let me know if you are interested in a set.

Oh, and I picked up a spare hatch that I'm going to cut up when we cage.

We also ordered Ballistic joints and mounts for the rear 4-Link. Similar to [MENTION=118730]AssBurns[/MENTION]
And I ordered some Uniballs, heims, and all the goods for steering and front long travel.

Definitely following this one! These KOH builds have me drooling for more fab.

Huge fan of the wheel/tire combo. Excited to see the future of this build, definitely watching it closely!

Looking great. A few questions:
- How many spares are you planning on taking? We're taking 8 wheels/tires if it helps - 4 on vehicle, 1 spare in vehicle, and 1 at each of the 3 pits.

- I haven't stripped my doors yet (motors, glass, etc). What order / method did you find worked best? I assume motors/electrical come out of the inside holes and glass slides out the top once the window runs are removed?

- What's your plan for re-sealing the sunroof? Patching with Sheet Metal larger than 0.40?

- What's the plan for rear axle and t-case?

We have one matching spare wheel/tire. Will have another set of 5 tires with us but they have different brand beadlocks and tires on them. Last year the 4508 truck made it through most of lap one without any tire issues before rolling.

- I haven't stripped my doors yet (motors, glass, etc). What order / method did you find worked best? I assume motors/electrical come out of the inside holes and glass slides out the top once the window runs are removed?

That'll work

- What's your plan for re-sealing the sunroof? Patching with Sheet Metal larger than 0.40?

Yep, just weld it up and call it good. Same as 4508 truck last year.

- What's the plan for rear axle and t-case?

Stock. Rear will get locked

Gears/Lockers have been finalized!

4.88 Yukon Gears
RD90 Front Locker
Detroit Rear Locker

Differential work is going to be done while the truck is being caged by [MENTION=92884]snivilous[/MENTION] next month

Why did you guys decide on 4.88 over 5.29?

 

[SRQ-Runner]

Why did you guys decide on 4.88 over 5.29?

The strength of the ring teeth. Diffs are going to get beat up during the race and decided that the extra strength of the 4.88s would be more beneficial over the slightly slower crawling speeds the 5.29s would provide. Plus that extra top end in the high-speed sections won't hurt :car:
