Factory,as in the VIN.Since you asked,I define your's as a 1/2t converted to 8-lug 3/4t axles.I'd call it a 3/4t if you heavied up the springs to 3/4t rated.I know lift springs actually take a 3/4t down to a 1/2t,which brings it all back to factory VIN to define.
It's just a suggestion for another contest.I'd go further to suggest separate contests for 2wd and 4wd.I just think it would be nice to see a more consistent field.There are working 1T tow trucks to trail rigs with 1T axles to bagged custom painted 3+3s.To me it's like having a contest for all 1/2 tons.Again,just my suggestion for another time around.Palf does an excellent job single handedly running the TOTM feature and I commend him for that.
