Is the next to last pic Mike Garcia's car now ?

Pretty sure Mike's car was originally Gary's from C&G, red, white and blue with big C&G beadlock rings. My client Ramiro bought it, then Mike bought it.

I think you got mine, right?

-TJ

Didn't know you had it. But now that I think about it of course you had it hard mounted on the RV and not sitting on the ground outside like everyone else. I'll get it from you next week.

10 families in our group have Starlink and I have passwords to 5 of them. I'll have the rest by next week. @CHRIS Jhook a brother up! Already have Frick's.

Great weekend in Glamis. My son duned his new to him Tatum Sand Demon and I got to chase him around. So proud of him!

The ceremony was great. Opening speech could have been shorter.

Dammit

Drove down the 55 frwy around 11am that day and it was still smoking. Smelled horrible. Today they closed nearby schools and told residents to stay indoors due to positive asbestos tests for the ash in the area. 

I got the trans back quickly from Rancho and started putting the car back together.

THe chrome delete was a great call by @tjZ06.  Pretty soon this car would also be getting a red delete.  And a new roof, new panels, nw interior, new seats... Why? Because TJ.

At this point I forget if @tjZ06said the car was so torn down might as well pull the engine and trans and send it to Rancho, but that's what I did.

I thought I had a good handle on removing all the chrome stuff but seemed like every time I turned around I found more.  Pile kept getting bigger.

@tjZ06called Grant and ordered new front billet arms (upgrade) and new rear arms, everything in black.  Also new hardware, heims, uniballs, etc.

The black alternator wasnt necessary but once you go black... You ask your mechanic to do a full chrome delete on the car and black out everything.  So that's what I did.

Because I was there when @tjZ06bought this car I got to hear about the maintenance and the origina; build.  The seller, or sellers mechanic, I forget, said the car was 100% Glamis ready.  He had built the car, wired the car, maintained the car, blah blah blah...  Then it broke and I saw some stuff I don't like to see when I took it apart.

NO EFFING LOCKTIGHT, NO EFFING ANTI-SEIZE ON ANY OF THE HARDWARE AT ALL.  Dude is dumb as sh!t or just a liar. 

@tjZ06made a trip or to that season and broke the car.  Not his fault, chit just wears out and breaks.  THe driver's side trailing arm inner pivot with the uniball snapped off the arm.  THe shocks bent an pushed into the body, sway bar rubbed the axle, axle eventually pulled out the CV.  Car was sent back to my shop for repairs.  But TJ being TJ repairs aren't enough.  TIme for all new stuff...

First upgrade on the list was installing Funco's air system and AirLift controller.  This was the first system I had installed on a Funco so it was a earning expierence.  Since then I've done 5 or 6.  If you decide to upgrade your Funco just buy the AirLift kit from @Grant@Funco.  If you piece it together to save a few $ you'll be pissed.  Two of my clkients went this routw and it made my job take that much longer.

Me and this car go back to the day @tjZ06bought it.  I was there and took the car straight back to my shop for some immediate upgrades.

 and a once over to check fluids and general safety check. 

TJ also bought the enclosed trailer becuase the car could drive right in with the paddles on.  Really nice trailer fully set up with a Onan 4500 generator, compressor, air hose on a reel, tool box, 120v and 12v lights, fold out couches, 50 gal fresh water and dual 65 gallon fuel tanks plumbed together via T valve and a fuel station.

Aaw some the other day amd thought of you.

I have about 1000 pics of this car and everything I did to it over the past few years.  I'll make some time to add to the thread.

Extreme Revolution 35 x 17 #2 paddles.  Bought them used two seasons ago and they've been great on my 650bhp 3500lb car.  I ran them at 22-25psi and they slid nicely.  Sidewalls look bad but so do all Extreme paddles.  These hold air with zero leaks.  I used Berryman's tire sealer.  Car sat from President's weekend until September and still held air the entire time.

$400 obo, delivery to AZ or San Diego can be arranged tomorrow 11/6 or 11/7.

I think this was 3 seasons ago near Osborne Lookout, early October. 

Original owner registered it, hence the Pink.  Second owner has had it since 2017 and never registered it?  There will be back registration due.  Go to Sonora Smog CHeck in Fontana.  They are a DMV servce as well and have helped me register serveral out of state and new vehicles and trailers with just an MSO.  It's way cheaper than you would think and no lines like DMV.  AAA won't be able to help.

Badass chick! Good job Mom and Dad.

Sure wish he would make a run of the Dune Sports.

I tried, you tried. Just need to sell 25 pairs first. I could sell 5 pairs...

I was fortunate to see the leofess at Fullerton Sand Tire before they closed down. When Cody, the new owner of STU, bought the business and moved it go Salt Lake City I didn't think much about it. But supply and demand set the standards, especially during the Rona. I've been fortunate to have built a business relationship Cody and have transported several loads of his paddles from SLC to Kartek whenever we are in the area and have an empty trailer. 

Two seasons ago when my 16.50 X 17 Sport Tires of America were done I switched to 36 Extreme paddles. I'm now back on STU 36 X 17 Blaster #2 and very happy with them.

Sold and about to travel!
