  1. I have always found carfax to have worthless info...

    If a shop does not report work done to the car (maintenance or collision) it won't be in the carfax. I bought a lease return which had a carfax clean slate, my bad for not noticing the tiniest of overspray couple weeks later wife scrapes a parking block and BAM bumper starts to fall apart and now few years later it's about to drag on the ground. Poor work never reported.

  2. So in the Speed UTV thread @WheresHotBoat got me thinking, HA HA. How did you evolve lets see the pictures from then to now and maybe what's next?

  3. supper common item for off-road

    first idea was you made the stinger the same angle as your approach, so when you got a wall you knew you could/couldn't get wheels on it

    2nd idea was in a down hill crash scenario, the stinger would again be the first impact

    then it went off the rails for all sorts of uses, combo's, ideas, style to no-style points

    Building of the Deberti Van. Thing is wicked cool. Motor looks like fun to work on. I wonder how thick the steel sheet floor panels are.

     

    When these guys were in Bakersfield, they were THE place to go from Honda Drag Cars with custom fiberglass, TRENDZ billet accessories and my favorite Madera Brothers Sand Cars!

  5. In Kern Co / Bakersfield the metal structures like @MeganDad posted are non-permited as long as they are not "permanently attached", which like all dumb .gov stuff you have to secure them or they blow away in the wind, ha ha..... stupid .govs 

    but yeah everyone pours pads, builds the metal structures and bolts them down....

  6. A lot has changed over the years....

    To over night camp on the beach you must get a reservation at https://reservecalifornia.com/Web/ and search for OCEANO DUNES SVRA

    No access to OHV area from outside the park. You must trailer all the way in on the beach past the signs Pole 2ish.

    Not sure they even have rentals anymore, it used to be huge business.

    There is a curfew, no night riding and all kinds of rules to be aware of. http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1207

    Creek Closures are prominent now as well.
