That thing is sick! Super clean. I couldn't do it though. I would take all that money and just put it into performance parts, that way I'm not scared to mess up the shiny stuff. lol
My boy Brad claims to have 20k in his TRX542. It's not that pretty by far but he has aftermarket everything in the suspention and motor (Elka's all around, Falcon crank, Ice cube top-end).
It's a nice ride for sure.
if I had the money to build that, and talking other projects like he is.....
i'd beat that thing like a rented mule.
no sense building anything your afraid to break.
This is one of those builds that's nice to see what CAN be done, but not what I would do. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't be building something so shiny. Give me all the suspension and mechanical goodies, leave the worn paint, and show me to the track!
