Since these are dealer allocated vehicles, they have to be converted back to stock in order to be compliant and be able to be given to the dealership to sell. The dealer has the option of reinstalling the kit after they receive they're allocated trucks back. At that point it's up to them whether they reinstall it or do whatever they want with it. Basically there are 8 to 10 finals trucks that could potentially be purchased from the winning dealerships, if they choose to coordinate shipping for the kids and reinstall them back on the vehicles, in theory one could purchase one of these from a winning dealership with the full finals cage kit and other goodies installed. Fyi, There are absolutely no loud decals or logos installed on this year's vehicles. A lot of that has to do with dealer push back on the ability to be able to sell what they considered billboards.
Are both the regular competition vehicles and the finals vehicles converted back to stock, or just the finals?

Technically both, however the competition truck really didn't have any non compliant mods, so it is pretty much stock.

Body lift? (if so how much)
Are those 35" tires? Or 33's?
Any pics of the front under tray situation which looks interesting?
That roll cagey thing - does it mounting into the stock roof rack mounts too up top? (or no? couldn't tell)
​​​​​​They are not body lifted at all. Lucky 8 lift rods. They are a bit bigger than 33s installed. No underbody peotection was spec'd . The front aluminum skid plate is part of the Lucky 8 winch bumper. The roof cage is 1.75 inch DOM tubing all welded. It does mount to the factory roof rails at the front. It bolts to the rear factory accessory mountings below the rear side windows. It also bolts to another mounting bolt below the rear tail light trims. It also has mounts on the rock sliders. It is super rigid.

Interesting rear tail lights. they looks to be missing a few of the lights. Are the vehicles road legal?

Lights are the exact same as stock. They are either painted or wrapped white, but the actual light itself is the same.

Got to see this truck in person and looked amazing!

Only thing I'd change would be to remove the raised air intake so that the gap to the body could stay tighter around the front windshield! The thicker tubing definitely helps give it a beefier look, great job guys!

Correct. These are black vehicles that have been wrapped. They are street legal
