I was going thru some ancient Four Wheeler Magazines, Off Road Mags, etc. from the late 80's and 90's and was wondering what ever happened to all these trucks, cars, quads, old school buggies, etc?


Some of the old videos I have show lots of old school really trick buggies, quads that were gold plated, crazy turbo 1100 quads,etc.


So did you ever have anything in a magazine? get a story done on your work, etc.

Alot of you guys know each other and maybe its common knowledge, but would you share? Got any pics?



I got to do an interview on October 3rd with a guy from Sand Sports Magazine who was at our dunes in Oklahoma, and he shot some pics of my quad, and said it would be in the first issue or 2 of 2011, so that's kinda cool.

I just see all these old awesome trucks and wonder what happened to them?

I wrote a story that was published in Sand Sports and an article on the opening of Suspensions Unlimited in Ontario for glamisdunes.com that was picked up by sand addiction.

Made the cover of dragboat review not a full page deal but a smaller pic shared along with others.

A few weeks back my Teryx was featured in a Teryxforums.net LT suspension show and shine. Here's the article. Teryx LT Shootout

was on the cover of ATV Sport in 2003 or 2004 for the YFZ VS. TRX shoot out when the TRX first came out, have a copy of it somewhere.....i'll have to dig around.


....think it was april 2004 issue was me and steve beilman on the cover



...forgot was also on the cover of "San Diego Off-Roader" back to the desert issue. here is the photo from that

Yes..........Sandsports 1998 .....my sandrail was feautured in it....called potent purple pinto by Doug Dixion!.....Ill see if I can round up some pics!

cool guys,


here's a bad picture of our group at the last ride, it will be in sand sports also, just using a real camera!
He did some action shots and a group shot, then did a couple of mine as a built bike, and my buddy who has owned his since new in 1990

I've never been other the Dusty Times for the racing stuff. Our team owner Don Chase, his son Travis and daughter Kari were on the cover of Sand Sports a few years back when they finished building their two Buckshot X5's and Kari's purple 4 seater (Swift Performance maybe??).

flashpoint might know when that was I think he helped put them togther.

We were at Glamis a year ago last Prez day, hanging out at the beach store, was approached by a documentary crew, from LA, interviewed us, put a cameraman (very serious equipment) in each of our cars, we took them out for a really hard run, back side of Olds, through the bowls and met their van up on the overlook (I'm pretty sure the Gal expierenced buggy sex...you know she had that glazed eye thing going, thought I was a really aggressive driver, I didn't tell her that my old two seater had hung the accellerator wide open, going up one of the steepest bowls,, dammned lucky we didn't die, haha) anyway they weren't worried about the equipment, said it was rental, didn't want to tear their stuff up. My brother, Chris, and friend Loran gave very good interviews...I was not very photogenic. Oh yeah supposed to be out this year, still haven't seen it. Tim

I was in about a dozen or so magazines about 7-8 years ago when I did the streetbike thing. My team had a featured story in one magazine in which I did the interview for the team.....good stuff! I still have copies of most of them!

our waterpumper has been in a couple of magazines

At least six or seven that I know of plus tv, probably alot more

Transworld Motocross...Twice!

One was for something I Designed. It was in their new Product lineup. The second was for the trek my buddies and I made from Stateline to Vegas on XR-50's!

I was in minitrucken for a tacoma I had, sandaddiction for a manx, kitcar builder for a manx, hot vw's for building Meyers "signiture" series manx bodys, san diego lifestyles for a bunch of acrylic work on a $18 million dollar house, and have had several of our manx bodys featured for customers cars. It's pretty cool to see something that you have put allot of work into in the pages of a good magazine.

I have written my article in Sand Sports mag every issue "Coverage for your toys" for about three years.
A great oppertunity and stress about it everytime.
Does that count ?

sandsports dec 06 cover car still have her

There was a diesel dyno event/competition in Phoenix a couple years ago. Diesel Power magazine was on hand to note results. There was a short bit about me and my truck. I was in many of the featured photos from the event.

My Dmax ended up taking second place to some full race Fummins by less than 75hp...

My notchback in the oct. '89 issue of hot vw,s, also was the annual sand issue. Car was stolen from my driveway a week after the pictures were taken.

I was in motortrend march 07 they have a "Modern Tuners" write up, and I in it with the THEN first 300C SRT8 with a blower running 10.50's.

I wrote a page in Truckin' magazine when I was in high school. Been in a couple racing videos. might be in a few magazine articles one day.

there was a pic of me/my buggy in the center spread of sandsports in the july/august 09 issue (dizzle from the boards shot it and submitted it). Also Fabtech used pics of one of my trucks in there early catalogs, then same pic was used in sway-a-way ads for torsion bars.

I was on the cover of Four Wheel Drive and utility magazine Nov 1993, in the Rick Russel offroad series videos featuring Panamint City and My old 1990 Chevy 2500 had the first Lift coils and A-Arms for a 2 wheel drive truck with first set of Progressive Tri-fan blade wheels made by Progressive and they used it in their commercial at SEMA and other shows.

Tri-Fan blade wheels- How could they seem so cool back then and so Gay now??

i was in western outdoor news for a limit i caught. all legit, and they wanted my picture with my five fish and total weight.

My truck was on the Cover of Four Wheeler in June or July of 1996. I still have the truck called "Almost Illegal" in my garage. It was also in Truckin, Off Road and Drive magazines. Now it is a dust collector!

post up a pic man I'd love to see it, even with the dust.

My one owner 90 zilla and I were in 3&4 wheel action at the second Quadzillathon @ Dumont Dunes 2002

do you still have it? that's cool, that picture I posted was from our Mini quadzillathon for the southwest chapter, lmao. Ok, we took it on our own, since we can't make it to the big sand box for the real one. It was lots of fun.

My old j&j car was in Hot VW back in the day and i was in a commercial as a kid! Got my 10 seconds of fame over early in life!

Aaron, I think you have not been in a sand mag, cause you haven't spent enough on this sport. How can you expect to be taken seriously?

In 97 I was working at a Mustang performance shop. We did 3 different tech articles for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords mag. My boss was a regular contributor, but but it just so happened that the 3 articles that I did ended up all in the same issue! So I went from never having been in a magazine to 3 articles in 1 issue!

got any pics man, I'd love to see them.

Some of you guys are holding out on me I'm thinking, I'd love to see some pics

are you on qrhq.com?

your not prohemi500 over there are ya?

OK, now I've only been on here for almost 2 years, and all the chit I've seen OB buy and sell, I know he has to have been in some magazine!!!

My dad has had a couple of the cars he built featured in Hot Rod magazine back in the 70’s. Our drag truck was featured on a TV show called PM Magazine back in 80’s it was the fastest street legal truck in CA at the time. It was also one of the poster cars for the San Diego Antique Drags.

I was, went by the name Mike Honcho.

Chummin caught a pretty cool pic while I was screwing around on a hill that made it on an add I believe; not sure if it was in a mag.

My wife and I modeled clothing for the 2009 EZ riders catalogue. To our surprise we had a full page of us (2nd page) We also had several other shots through out the mag.

Mid to late 90's was in all the car audio magazines. Feature article in Car Audio and Electronics, cover and article of Car Audio Installers magazine. But then again, they would feature anyone that traveled the circuit like I did with almost 200k spent on two competition vehicles and many world championships/world records.

yes.

Lets see the installs! I was a subscription holder for a good 10 years (all through the 90s and early '00). I tossed all of the mags about a year and a half ago because we moved out of the house but I bet I will remember the install.

x2 I was really into Car Audio back in the day

well???? yeah at least 2-3 times or 20 or ......and im still dead broke
