Off-road racing can be a scary thought. The spare parts, the work, the damage all go through a teams head when preparing to hit the desert for the first time or the hundredth time. For TPF Racing, Class 7100, the approach to the desert starts with the parts going on the truck.
“TPF Racing campaigns a 2004 Toyota Tacoma in Class 7100 in the Best in the Desert (BITD) series,” Jason Prichard explained. “The class is designed for production mini and mid-size pickup trucks and limits suspension to bolt on aftermarket kits.”
Jumping in the air may look cool, but the abuse that it puts on the parts of the vehicles is intense.
“Given the abuse, these trucks take over hundreds of race miles, every suspension component is critical,” Prichard continued. “We’re proud to use American made rod ends and uniballs from FK Rod Ends and never have to worry about their durability.”
Having the confidence to know that the products on the vehicle can withstand the abuse, is a huge relief off a driver’s shoulders. Parts on off-road trucks see some of the most extreme conditions out of any form of motorsports.
“We use FK Rod Ends in the harshest conditions possible and they’ve never let us down, enabling us to win a class championship in 2015 and back to back Mint 400 class victories,” Prichard said. “FK Rod Ends support a wide variety of motorsports and provide excellent products for all racers, from the multi-million dollar teams to garage-based ‘average Joe’s’ like us.”
Prichard finished by saying,”To be successful we depend on high-quality parts and we know we can count on FK Rod Ends to help get our truck to the finish line.” For more information on FK Rod Ends and its products, be sure to check their website.
