I don’t know the regs for this class but it appears to be WAY more stock than the SCORE class stock full, including stock 2 inch gas shocks and control arms. Rear mounted Radiator but other than that, roll cage and safety/nav gear these appear to be factory trucks.

So cool.

As with most Land Cruisers it probably did 256,000 miles prior to the race and has (or had) ripped up leather seats along with a $12,000 price tag.

About that “rear mounted radiator”, the radiators mounted in the back are actually spares. There’s no airflow going around or through them. So mechanically, these things are probably completely stock .

So other than replacing glass with metal sheets, installing a snorkel and full roll cage, there doesn’t seem like they did much to them.

I’m counting  on Kurt’s narration since he got to see them up close and i haven’t. plus he built the score series 200 with rear mounted radiator so i think he would realize the difference. but i wasn’t there so i can’t say for sure

Love that they painted the frame white. Prob easier to work on in the dark.
