Why do you get the honor of being next to that beautiful bird? So Awesome! Peace

This chopper had a landing gear issue at another base during takeoff and they did an emergency landing here, 6 miles from the old Holtville airport. They tried to make it to El Centro or Yuma but couldn't. The gear punched through the floor and tore out the electrical. It's been here since just before Vet's and they've been working on it. Had it on jack stands but today put it back on the wheels. There are 8 guys working on it and one stays the night for security. Super cool Marines and they'll let you walk right up to it and explain the systems. He told us two more were flying in around noon so we hung out and watched that. So badass! 

It's about 4 miles south west or Roadrunner. Go 1 mile south to cross over the canal, make a left (south) and go 11 telephone polls. Make a right (west) and follow the trail and buggy tracks to the site. They are hoping it will be flight ready this week and they can get it out. He said they have no choice but to repair and fly it. Cannot dismantle it. This thing is 99' long. Built in 1983 and has 6000 hours on it. They retire the birds at 10k hours so this one is worth repairing. 

America!

Happy in my career? 24 years in my industry and smart investments are going to cost me a $450k payout, plus another $105k over the next 10 years. If you're a divorce attorney do society a favor and find a mirror, stand in front of it, and open your throat from ear to ear. The only home my kids have known for 21 years will be sold so a drug addicted alcoholic can have her 'half'. So that's my story.

chit, killer deal. if only I was closer. lol

Closer to LA? We can transport it. I send trucks all over the country. It's just sitting and hasn't been out all season. 

Price drop- $11,500. Just installed two brand new batteries.

Glad you were able to use that B&W hitch.  My next door neighbor gave it to me when he moved to Texas a year ago.  

Surprised they got that done so quickly. We delivered the car from Mesa to the Diesel Bros shop in early December and he was posting teaser videos a few weeks later. We were asked not to post any videos or pics. 

I'll take it.

How about a Suzuki DRZ400? Bone stock, super clean.m. I'm the 2nd owner. Bought it for my daughter last year and she's riden it zero times. Having it is more important than using it, I guess. But my GF has 16 and 15 yr old sons that would love a badass TRX450.

Independence Electric in palmdale does great wiring work. 

I hit them up before last season to install my Holley Terminator X and some other items. They said they were booked for 9 months. I think they posted on IG a while ago they were not taking on new clients and were booked out over a year. Hard to believe, but I don't do wiring.

I am going to leave it alone. That 2d owes me nothing. If I could find a Fortin 4 speed sequential I would consider it because it’s an easy direct swap. I would keep the 930’s with the Fortin stars and cages. That would keep the balance of the car the same and not chop it up. If I don’t  find one before the 2d gets back I will just throw it back in and run it until I decide to upgrade to another Gen 6. 

Who are you and where's the @DZRTRUNI've known for years that does engine swaps and on board air installs in Glamis, while drunk, with a bunch of drunk supervision?

Glad it worked out for you.  But isn't the shop (or their insurance) liable, since they were working on the system that caused the fire? 

I'm torn on this one.  This car is perfect, but my son wants a 2D for his Tatum.  Also, I have been chasing this Funco through the dunes for years and I have a hard enough time keeping up.  Can't imagine how much harder I'll have to drive my car to keep up if @DZRTRUNdoes the S4.  That will lead to a Whipple 4.0...

Sold before it was even posted. 

Do it and sell Balin that busted azz 2d.

Picked up and delivered to the new owner in PHX last week. Such a clean car.

Dammit, I needed one in early November for a client's car. Ordered from Kartek and it took 4 weeks and was $1500 +tax.

How much for the GN?

My buddy is in his Gen 6.

Congrats on the sale.  I got the call today to get it to Phoenix.

I've been using Patriot for payroll for two years. But it's just me, my son and daughter. So far zero issues. Website is easy to navigate.

My son didn't get his direct deposit once and I called them. Actually got a real person on the phone within a couple minutes. He was very helpful and got it straightened out quickly.

Transported this car a couple times and it is clean AF and very well maintained. 

Sonora Smog Check in Fontana is the best. 

If they can be dropped off at McMullen's or Tatum my son can grab them for you on Friday and get them to Roadrunner.
