Fully Caged Baja 1000 Honda Ridgeline!
I use to be a pretty active member on ht but i got my integra stolen and started racing trucks offroad instead. Thought i'd jump back over to ht and share some offroad knowledge w/ the honda guys for kicks....
Here's the Ridgeline that ran last year's Baja 1000 built by temper mental fabrication!

How does the drivetrain hold up?

I see a lot of quality parts there.... good stuff.
That fuel cell set you back a pretty penny though. We run a ATL tank in our circle track car and it's about half that size and it still cost us about a grand. LOL

Didn't this thing almost win it's class pretty much entirely stock except for safety mods last year, but broke an axle or something along those lines?

most of the time, all off road trucks need is suspension and good tires that grip in dirt.

more then likely the class that they run in does not allow for increased power.
Not all racing is about how much HP you can make.

Re: Fully Caged Baja 1000 Honda Ridgeline! (mrlegoman)
the ridgeline raced in class 7 which is a "stock mini" class. It had to retain stock upper and lower arms, stock rear suspension mounts, stock motor, stock bumpers, etc.
in a nutshell, class 7 is a bone stock truck w/ safety equipment (cage, fuel cell, window nets, etc), upgraded shocks, and that's about it.
