    Ya I bet it is! I have a RCM with GPX 125 in it and also a 07 Motovert with a GPX 125 and a 140bbk. They both go pretty darn quick.

    They seem to go well with mini trucks! ;)

    Yeah they do, almost all of my friends that have pitbikes haul them around in mini trucks and for the most part are yotas.

    Mine used to haul a quad when my grandfather had it, since he put a POS tool box on it, he drilled holes in the bottom of the bed for eye bolt tie downs, when he was drilling the holes, the one over the gas tank slipped and he nearly crapped himself for fear of it blowing up on him.

    How did the last truck die anyway? Like what happened to make a Toyota to give out?

    Something let go on the inside somewhere lol. I sold it to a friend for 300 bucks and we actually drove it about 7 or 8 miles to his house blowing white smoke and knocking so loud it was all you could hear. Everytime you pushed in the clutch it would die and we just bump started it and kept on going. We ended up just putting a 20r in that one because he got it for cheap and now it's someones work truck.

    That would explain a lot. Well, at least it's running again. Hate for a Toyota to die out and rot.

    looking nice :waytogo:


    you going lower?


    if not i think some slightly bigger tires would be in order. instead of those 50's i bet 60's would be perfect for the height it is.



    either way, i'd do her.:drool:

    they should work good! i forgot to mention they are also like a 1.5" drop spindle as well. the only thing that nees modded is the tie rod joint. i was gunna try to screw the supra tie rods into the truck sleeves so that it would be completely bolt on. i got the spindles, hub, brakes and calipers for $80
