Lets see those hustlers and a proper sand car, not a mini-van

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tossed on some 37s or bigger on a hustler? I know it's against the George family rules to jack up the car but i think those things would look mean


This is my favorite so far, but I still say some bigger tires are in order!

I don't know! I like the way it looks. I'm not a big fan of the 35" or bigger tires.

Well I am

These cars are not so much about looking great as they are about going sideways. Get enough seat in one, and you'll understand.

LMAO

Rick's Hustler is off the hook

After riding in the Yellow one Grants brother drove, Id stick with what works.. Aint saying bigger tires are better or worse, but theres a reason they stick with the size tires they put on them at all costs (people spending tons of $$). Often times what might look cool, just might lead you to the wrong end of a tow strap or in a bad situation.

Bigger tires need bigger parts, thus bigger $$$

Redlines car is off the hook, love it...........

Yes it is. Even better in person.
DON~~~

I still think some bigger tires would look cool

That was my car originally. Had to sell it before I really got to use it. The family that bought it live in Colorado. There are some great videos of it on youtube!!

Sliding sideways IS cool., but, doing barrell rolls thanks to an excessively high c/g can also be cool due to the be entertainment factor for some (usually not the driver). It really just gets down to what looks baddest, or dunes baddest, and can do what you want it to do. Different stokes for....................

All I know is, the day I see 45 inch tires on Grants car. I'm buyin some! You can't argue with what works unless you only care about appearances.

just sayin

I agree! Sand buggin is more like drifting than drag racing in my opinion. I probably used my turning brakes more than the steering wheel!!

that no - rocks guy is a Sand Highway, olds, drags kind of guy.. Go 40" bro..

it has to do with tire profile, and it is hard to get a flat profile with those taller tires....I like mine, not tall, they work just fine on my Funco

Tricked again!

Why of coarse a bigger tire would look cool . Very cool from the outside looking in . But whats feels cool from the inside lookin out is what we be all about !!

Damn.................the sickest cars end up in Dubai. One question though, how do you get a beer out of the cooler without taking the hood off or are the Dubai folks very flexible?

Those hustlers are SWEET! Keep up the good work.

I Love my Hustler.

Now if could just get my wife to buy me one...

very,very nice car. Are those 2" spindles on the front or are they reg?

I still like bigger tires


That orange car is beyond sick!!!

Im not sure what tires are on that car now. I sold it with 16.50 implements on Douglas rims, not whats on the car now. Ive emailed back and forth with the new owner several times. They seem to be loving that car.

Give her the bedroom eyes Yarder

Ya, that's not gonna get me much more than laid....











If I'm lucky.....

She likes her tires just the way they are !!!!!

I think mines pretty nice. I love the bigger tires.LS2 and S4SClick to view attachment

Nice, love the 17 rears and the baja pro fronts. Did you run it with the 15's first in the rear or get it built like that. Just curious how much better it is with the 17's. Planning on doing that upgrade this offseason.

- Walt

2nd owner. I had the 15's w/razors up front and the car would jerk around and try to follow every other track out there. The only time I don't like the fronts is when the sand is wet. Otherwise 17"'s are sweet. TNT, you bought my buddies( the original owner) old/new car, whadda ya think?

Here's mine. Click to view attachment

I agree

Ok, Heres an oldy but a goody!

This is a 2000 Hustler II (Gen 3 - no by-pass). It was my wife’s for 6 seasons –she said she would never sell it!!!! Until she rode with me in my Big 5 Gen 4!! That car is on its third owner (TNT had it for a short while). It started out with a 2275 Carcraft turbo and it was a blast to drive. I have seen it for sale with a Honda power plant now. And yes that is and Alien in the passenger seat (she doesn’t care much for passengers)!

The second car shown is her next car that they have technically named the “EVO”. Gil George said he would never build one of those swoopy ones again, my wife convinced him to build her a Huslter II style with the Gen 4 suspension. I really think it was Gil’s and Greg’s best work!!!!Only problem now is …………………………………………………………I WANT ONE!!!!!

Pictures with color on the panels.

I think this is my favorite Funco. I remember this one well at the show.
Gil George was kind enough to talk to me about this car for about 20 min. Told me how he personally hand bent the large swoops.
Explained why they do rear engine instead of mid-engine setup, suspension...eveything. Very cool guy and I wasn't even there to buy a car...just complimented him on it.
Too bad they won't contiunue to make this model.
Beautiful.

Let me see what I can do.
Kind of swamped at work...I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
