Hello, I am wondering what you would recommend for a direct replacement for my turn brake (if there is one available). I am also looking at replacing the brake and clutch assembly while I’m at it. The turn brake and pedal assembly are the original ones that came from Funco. Thanks for any and all suggestions, and happy holidays.

Just wondering if Funco uses an off-the-shelf radiator for the GEN 3 models or is it a custom built radiator specifically for the Sandrail.

Just curious what everyone uses for mounting their registration? Axia Alloy? Think this is it but would figure I would verify. https://a.co/d/1JsWdw8

Some of you may remember my last run of Cars. Last season was 4 different Funco's for me. Pretty much had a car on my flatbed every trip, coming or going from camp or storage. I ended up with a car I have always wanted and one I felt would check all my boxes after owning a newer G52 and an early light Hustler. The first trip with the car sealed the deal and it was smiles for miles. Second day with the car was unfortunate. Dogs in third gear were gone and i could not keep it in third without it popping out under load. Finished the season in a camp chair with ideas running thru my head. Decided I wanted the best of several worlds and to take what I liked it all those…

This chassis was well used, its #02 and some one got a lot of dune time and forgot to tighten the suspension bolts regularly. There was a lot of wear and you can see signs of repair to the pivots. So we decide to cut them all off and put brand new Funco pivots back. We added a tube here and there for some added strength. The car is getting a rolled roof like the Gen 6, new one piece skid plate, inside floors front & rear, Rancho went through the 2D, Outfront is doing an inspection and some basic maintenance on the C&G Subi, brand new Gray Area front and rear hubs, all new tires, Jason at Next Level is doing the sheet metal - 3D roof, noise cover, full dash, inside…

I thought for sure I had a thread on here about the car, but I guess not. I don't have a ton of pics/vids on this computer, so I'll make this a quick one (well, by TJ standards ;) ). I bought the car at the start of the '20/21 season, and it looked like this (complete with two-story roofline and idler chirp): FWIW I got it with the trailer in the vid which it drives right in on the paddles. This car is an original Funco built/titled G52, and as such is the "narrow" car. Still, both paddles touch the door-seals as you bring it in on a 96-97" door. The car actually first hit the sand sometime in '15, and was only used 'til about '17 when the original ow…

Grant/Chad found me a set of paddles, but no luck on the front tires Anybody have a set of Mickey Thompson Baja pro 15” 33 shaved front tires? Well, I found the wife a car! Excited to get it back out in the sand it needed some Unexpected work. uggggggg! When I purchased the car, I noticed the front and was seriously neglected and I knew I had to repair I ended up having to rebuild the whole front end, including all new heims and adding weld washers. The repair went flawless. After I got the front end complete it was time to test the car! The wife wanted to passenger in the car at first just to get the feel for how it operated. Right off there was no…

As I have been sitting here looking and waiting. What are the different models of Funco's? Obviously they had they old school bus looking one (Gen1) then gen 2, gen 3, then Gen 4, Gen 5, Gen 6, Hustler(s), GTU, GTX, GTF, Enzo, the F9 and I am sure there are others, but what makes each of those that model. What are the differences?

My good friend Justin had introduced me Erik (very stand up guy)who sold me the Funco that was all original minus the LS3 swap. After my very season I decided to take it a part and do a makeover. This is what it looked like when I took possession.

I searched and didn't find anything. Just wondering what pressures you guys run in your bags- I recently added onboard air and made some changes to where the motor and trans was mounted. Taking it out this weekend for the first time since the changes which got me thinking- what pressures do you all run and what is your set up? Also looking for input on dialing in the rebound and compression settings. I plan on giving Grant a call to get his input but just wanted to check on here as well. I have a gen 4 Funco, S4, LS3 with LSA Supercharger

We are just trying to come for air after a great Regatta event so I thought I would post up some pictures. First want to thank all the Customers that braved the insanely sketchy weather and coming out. I'm guessing we must be right with the Sand Goods, the weather cooperated just enough to get the organized events off. Need to thank some people : BLM for working with us for close to a year to pull of a fully permitted GECKO ROAD event Our partners /suppliers for fully supporting us with great giveaways @funco4lizzleand family for always stepping up and doing the Ladies Run Champagne stop Our Funco Family Dune/Camp group...always there for…

Hey guys, Went to do my routine check through my car before my next trip and noticed a few things needing attention... One of which is my Steering rack is starting to leak. From my understanding its from a Ford Mustang, but the markings on it are not matching any part numbers for the auto parts stores... Would anyone know the part number? Hoping to have this and a few things done in time for the Regatta. Thanks in advance for any help

If your going to be participating in the group photo and want to be parked with your group for the photo please do not go down to the staging area without your group. I would ask that you all leave the registration area as a group, head to the top of the ridge and you will be sent down together. Follow the flagger instructions. we will be at the top and bottom of the site.
