Something I haven't seen discussed yet are the lift laws that vary state to state.California is a bit lax in enforcing them but when taken to that extreme I am pretty sure it would atract some major attention.How is the lift law in Fla and do they enforce it?

As far as off roading that thing,lets go to Baja and test it out
I have chased for the B1k a few times.prerun many miles and have been required to jump on the course in the heat of the race.I know what my truck is capable of and I am pretty sure of what that truck is not capable of

If it fits for you cool.
The factory drivetrain is not going to stand up well when subjected to the 40"s .Nor will the steering gear box.
Your dime spend it how you see fit

That wouldn't be that big of a truck by Florida's standards.
And as far as the offroading "baja-style", you do realize that most of the U.S. isn't a desert don't you?
Up here in Michigan we don't have deserts or rockpiles but we do have these wierd things called trees and lawns and dirt which turns into mud when it rains. This causes all of those trees and other plants to grow. This is augmented by rivers,lakes,and ponds. It also gets cold here, cold enough to snow. Short of the snow, Florida has all of those things plus swamps(and some huge insects). So those high dollar 2" suspension kits would be for those most part useless if the snow/mud/water got deeper than you could cross with my wifes stock Jeep.

I know that if you find any, you surely don't drink it. Farthest that I have been is the outskirts of TJ and over towards the Pacific.

These trucks would make great pre runners they handle 2 and 3 ft whoops great and jump 100ft tabletop jumps all day long drive them home and then drive them to work the next day you do not know what it is capable of plain and simple

Yet again I think you missed the point.

cause I have already learned it can't go offroad, it will tip over , and it can't drive on the highway, most of ya'll are right, it must be a piece of crap.
