Off-Road Drag Race: Ram 1500 TRX Shorty Vs. Polaris Ranger Northstar

The TRX looks fantastic as a shorty. Built by Beto OnDGas, the truck was shortened simply because it was possible. The engine is stock, but the tires aren’t. This TRX runs on 24×12-inch wheels with 33-inch off-road mud tires. The active suspension still works like it does on the regular truck, but it has been lowered by an inch. Thanks to these mods, the truck lost 800 pounds of body fat. The claimed curb weight of the standard truck is 6,440 lbs, so this shorty is still a 5,640-lb fatty.

On the other side of the ring, we have Ryan Guidas in the Polaris Ranger. The Polaris is heavily modified and is one of Hoonigan’s show cars. Like the Ram, the engine is standard, but the suspension is not. At the front, it has four-inch portals to fit the bigger, grippier tires. It’s also equipped with Zbroz Racing suspension components front and rear.

The power is transferred to the dirt via 35-inch rubber mounted on narrow 19-inch Fuel wheels.
