Ok.... so what are the details?

Tires, Wheels, Brakes, metal tube welded together, motor, BAM full-size Go-Kart

Brabum BT-21 is the model, all the clam-shells/body work is in the garage as it is just going in for a service/tune up/dyno run. Little Lotus motor in it, didn't get to hear it run as we pushed it around.

Finally got to work the new truck a little. Way more impressive towing then it is empty. Still can't figure out air bags or timbrens. I've used timbrens for a long time. I like them. But the unloaded ride of the air bags would be nice.

It should ride better with the timbrens I would think. The air bags even empty affect the ride whereas the timbrens shouldn't from what I have seen.

timbrens greatly effect unloaded ride on all three trucks I use them on. But there simple and work. What is the worst is when you have around 500lbs in the bed. Its just enough weight to make the truck sit on them, but not enough to compress them. Rides like crap at that point. I have been reading about the Sumosprings lately and might give them a shot. Same concept and 30 percent cheaper.

I love my OBS. Been on tow bitch duty all this week and again next week. Glad i went with red on our new trailer!

And snuck in some towing with the 450, would've had to make another trip with my OBS.

I know they are so nice, usually borrow my neighbors bumper pull dump when we need it. But I would love to have a gooseneck dump. Glad to hear the 6.7 is working out.

The 6.7 is flat out amazing. The way it tows is crazy. Big step up from my 7.3.
