what is the wheel base, looks quite long, looks heavy, there would be better deals out there, last time i checked no d class trucks were running a winch, makes you think what was it built for, by the looks it would be a good bush truck, my 2 cents worth

Lets start again, You want a D Class Rally truck. Now define what you want to do with said vehicle, Do you want to go out and compete and have fun and learn how to drive it properly OR do you want to go out and win D Class. They are two completley differernt things and this is what should be dictating what you need to be looking at.

To win you will probably need to lean more towards the low COG a little wider than normal with huge amounts of bottom each torque

Hell I'm full of it anyway :lol: your money your truck to each his own.. Personally you need a Suzuki
