Taureg Rallye

anyone been following the Taureg rallye? There was some good video of Day 4 when Dave Marsh and Tom Neathway got stuck on a dune. Dave is my buddy over at QT. They are racin with the Race2Recovery team with two QT Wildcats and their support vehicles are 3 Defender 110's.

Here is the video from day 4

Marsh/Neathway were in 28th place after Day 3 im guessing they lost a lot of time on day 4 struggling with that dune. I'm sure they will drop further when results are posted later today. Needless to say just finishing is a great accomplishment.

here are the current standings

no. The terrafirma doesnt have even spacing between the spokes and there are less spokes. I left them a message. Not sure what rims they are.

damn that race looks miserable..

And the wildcats have d1/d90/rrc wheel pattern so they wont fit your truck

Buy the bead locks!

I see what you mean Ed I like the TF's but @ $369 a wheel that's a little much.

STOP SHOPPING AT ATLANTIC BRITISH!!! They are only $305 + shipping from Justin.

If I had a d2 and ran 32s-33's i'd buy these.. If they made them in 15x8 and more backspacing they would be better

LOL or Rovers North.. All that shit is crazy marked up.. I knew I saw that price too - the pic with the RRC on the dakar rims was sweet

Each vendor has different pricing on everything. Some carry companies that others don't. I like Atlantic British for certain things, I like justin for some, underground rovers, rovers north. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.

Justin can get me what I am looking for, at a better price than all other vendors 9 times out of 10. He has a ton of stuff that he doesn't show on the site. I call him, tell him what I need, he gives me a good price and its at my door two days later. Or he special orders it from the UK like the 50MM flares I just ordered...

Dont email, just call. His job is to talk to people about their trucks and sell his products. The past couple weeks I have been on the phone with him every other day and buying things maybe half the time. None-the-less he is happy to help, has a ton of experience with the stuff and is a good guy.
