Canadian entry for the 2010 Dakar rally

In 2001 Lawrence Hacking finished the Paris Dakar on two wheels. He's hoping to be the first Canadian on four wheels to finish the Dakar in 2010 in this truck. With the help of Jay Thornton and others, the team are doing last minute modifications before shipping the vehicle to South America.

Thank you very much to the Canadian Team for coming to our countries Argentina and Chile. It is quite a pleasure to see you and to have you racing the Dakar on our land. We should like to have you ever over and over running the Dakar every year among us. We expect you will return next year 1011. Cheers for everybody at Dakar team, organizers and racers: Ositoulto, admirer and "tuerca" chap. ¡Chau che!

You're asking for trouble with that fram filter... What size turbo, nozzle and who tuned the engine on this truck? Good luck with the rally but you have to change that oil filter for an oem one.
