Seeking solution: Wanting to haul enough gas for Funco Gen4 LS on 16-18 ft. open aluminum trailer for a 3-4 day weekend. Would fill 25+gal Funco tank and avg. 8gal per ride 8 rides. Seeking solution like 50gal fuel cell on open trailer vs. eight 5 gallon cans which wont fit anyway. Problem is my Mercedes Sprinter RV can only handle 5000 lbs load with Funco (2700 lbs wet) so pushing tongue weight (500 capacity). And, also heard fuel cell on open trailer is not DOT legal. Thoughts please!?

Curious if anyone has driven a Funco with coilovers instead of airbags and can give a comparison between the two.

Hey all, Over summer I decided that I will do an LS swap into my Gen4. I have already purchased the LS1, it is complete out of another running sand car. Nothing special, stock LS1 with Painless harness, corvette computer running all sensors, Painless fuse block and relays, OBDII port, Intake with MAF, headers, adaptor plate and clutch. Should be easy for the most part. This is my list of things to Fab or Change - Engine mounts to be fabbed Coolant Lines to be fabbed Replace Bosch -6 fuel system with Aeromotive -8 (A1000, pre/post filter, regulator and all new -8 fittings/hose) Weld in -4 bung in coolant purge tank for LS steam port line …

I recently purchased this sand rail from Arizona. It had Arizona title and VIN. It is listed as a 2013 and has Subaru WRX power. Can anybody tell me who was the original manufacturer and builder? I can provide a serial number if needed. Thanks Dennis

Hey all, So tonight, I was looking at the car and it had a bit of gangsta lean to it. As I looked closer, my driver rear bag looks crooked. The bag perch doesn't look crooked to me, but something is a mis. Thoughts?

The a arm bushings on my gen2 are pretty hammered, and I’m sure the bag perch bushings are too. As you all know they are not common size. @Grant@Funco are you guys able to make a set, or do you happen to have the specs tucked away somewhere? If not, Is there anyone near San Diego that would be able to make me a new set out of Delrin or polyurethane? TIA

I have a Gen 4 with the bosch style pump and filters currently. Over the summer I am doing an LS swap and will be going to Aeromotive pump and filters. Can anyone post up some pics of their fuel pump mounting and plumbing? Thanks in advance!

The real reason I wanted to make this was to find out the weight of my Sandcar. Gen. 3 Funco with Outfront 2.5 Subi. I know there are a handful of similar set ups out there as well as the knowledge. But now I am curious how many of you out there know your power and weight of your cars. lets see 'em!

For many years I have drooled and looked at these bad ass cars. That blown LS sound. The G42 that Airboom Ron built is what started this desire. Following @DZRTRUN through the dunes made me want it more. Just ruined me. Finally I can say I will own one, This season. Thanks to Grant for all the support and making this a reality. The people who helped me get an idea and design. @dbart for his creative mind for my original idea. My buddy @tjZ06 and @Hondajimz for instigating me and ensuring I can pull this off. And there are others. Thank you... Plus the numerous flips I did to make it happen, the long days of sales and hustlin! I can say I have lost sleep think…

Okay GD.com peeps, I am looking to upgrade my Gen 4 and want the digital style controller so I can dump the air and have multiple presets for refilling. Already have compressor and tank. Which system do you recommend? Thanks

So I am looking at taking out my Mendeola 2D and installing a Weddle HV25 in a Gen 4 Funco with a EJ25 Subaru, any Funco owners do this swap before? The shift linkage looks like it will present a problem, radiator plumbing and also push my engine and cv flange location back a few inches.

Hello Funco Family! I have recently bought my first Gen 4 subi powered 2D Funco and for the most part absolutely love it. Car turns like no other and the 2.5 Subaru motor is legit quick. Car is a blast to drive. Car has the 14.50 dunesports in the rear and shaved 33 Baja pros in front. Running 38 PSI in front bags and 42 PSI in rear bags Here are my complaints: 1) Harsh ride over ruts left by other vehicles. Suspension feels stiff and beats me up. After 3 days in the dunes my neck is sore from whiplash. 2) Car doesn't land very smoothly from medium size jumps. Larger jumps and car will bottom out. Again, suspension feels stiff or harsh and real…

I've got a Gen 3 and I have noticed that I'm getting a two to three pound drop in air pressure every couple of days in the rear bags. Bags never drop bellow 25psi. Sprayed with soap and water and didn't see anything. Front seem to be good. Time for replacement? Where do you find them? Funco only?

Hello - We recently picked up our first Funco! Few questions to get through the balance of the season 🤣 2007 Gen 4, Chassis #157. C&G LS2. What do most run for tire pressure (standard not wet etc.), front and rear. What air bag pressure, front and rear. What is the fuel tank size. Any special fluid in the power steering? THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!! Travis!

I've got emails into Funco but I'm sure they are buried after Halloween. Anybody in Phoenix have one of these? Is this a Funco only part? Thanks!

Happy Funco Friday. Finally get to pick up my Gen 4 tonight. Patience was seriously the virtue with this car. Super stoked for the learning permit Funco before my GTU is finished. Will be in Glamis tomorrow for test runs and get ready for Vets. Cheers to the weekend...

Figured I would do a quick update on the 2017 sand sport super show car I picked up thought I would just do a hood and front enclosed with Jason over at Next level MOTORSPORTS and a wrapped vinyl dash then decided I can’t stand a all blue car and would change the panels to white but got the car back together and the blue arms and beadlocks I could not make myself like them still blue so now I had to have the arms off to be done in gloss black and update to the new OMF funco billet wheels and add a Wetsounds stealth 10 sounds bar with 10 inch sub at the same time I’m hoping to have it back together the week before vets

Used to be able to just search here and find them but obviously that's changed. I put the car on jack stands, pulled the wheels, pulled the trailing arms, then remembered I need to be on the lookout for an enclosed over the summer. So, anybody know the width of a Gen 4 with paddles (Dunesport 14.50)? Feel free to add front tire widths and lengths as well as I'm sure the question will be asked in the future.
