Nope, not yet. But he did end up ordering the intercom.

Not yet ph34r.gif ... And I still don't have the panels or wing yet. icon_uhoh.gif Just as long as I have them before the big trip everything will be fine.

I took the buggy out early this morning and for the most part everything went well... There was NOBODY around so we didn't adventure out into the big stuff very far. We did drive from Gordon's to Glamis in less than 15 minutes. We didn't time it so call bullS*** if you like, (I may be wrong) but we were haulin' @$$ for sure. Call me stupid but it was the perfect time to air it out...We met no one coming or going and only saw maybe ten people all day... Spooky.

Now I know there are some big HP buggies out there but let me tell ya, "Turn-Key Engine Suppy" make one hellava 518 FW-HP engine! headbang.gif That sucker was a beast today... and the buggy sucked up everything I threw at it. I know at one time on a long section of the sand highway, where I could see far ahead, we were doing close to a 100 MPH... It had to be! (4th gear pinned and 5th gear waiting) shocker.gif and the whoops...I could not even feel them. It was amazing. thumb.gif

More later,

Zilla

whoops at @100 MPH?!?!?!


um, er, even Ivan's or Robby Gordon's trucks can't do that...


Sandzilla
Like I said in my post... I have no idea for sure how fast we were going but mathematically speaking, we were bookin' (Tire diameter, R&P ratio, engine RPM, 4th gear dive ratio)...

Just so you all no Robby truck can easily do 100 mph thru the whoops. In his video like 3 years ago its shows him hitting the whoops at 105 mph. Shoot i hit the whoops at 85 mph in my ranger, i was beating the S**T out of it, but it took it. But any ways i was just letting you all know.

I want to hear how the Tow Boss truck did pulling the trailer.
BLACKDS

Sandzilla
The new truck did just fine. Very stable..Didn't push or pull one bit. The bigger truck was definitely the way to go. thumb.gif
