Anyway..after seeing so many rally cars  30-40k invested selling for around 10-15k or often alot less,I probably won't build a car.I am toying with the idea of picking up a ranger,and building a very basic rally truck-this would be the easy button way to stage rally I think,although I don't expect to win in a heavy truck.But I might give that plan a go later this year or next.I'll need a tow rig for the race car. Leaning towards a E150-They do it all-tow rig for the race car and 2 door JK I want to pick up,as well as a camping vehicle.Guess I need to work on that income.$$$$ are going to be needed!I expect to be mostly active in the rally and raid forum here,but i'll check out the other sections as well..Thanks!</blockquote>
