That supercharged ecotec sand limo looks like an awesome duner.

Did he happen to live in Valrico Florida, same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago through pay pal and pay pal refunded his money and I never got my parts back. Pay pal told me to pound sand.

I feel the lack of noise a EV would produce going through the dunes could be a little dangerous, I don't think we realize how much we might use hearing to realize there are other duners near by.

I have no problem giving the guy his money back if he ordered the wrong parts or if he thinks my product fit and finish is not what he expected. I like to be fair, not looking to have un happy customers. This guy just wants my product and to not pay for it. Its just annoying it is already hard enough being a small family business trying to manufacture these days. Hopefully pay pal gets me my parts back.

no you got screwed by a thief pretending to be a customer

Yeah you are right, we are to small to lose this money but also to small to be on the phone with paypal for 2 hours like I just was to file a appeal. Every minute I spend trying to get back my parts or money is a minute I am not on the shop floor making money 

Sold a steering rack and tie rods to a guy in Georgia. He received the parts and a few days later he filed a case for refund calling the parts Damaged. I said to ship the parts back and I will give you a full refund. Well Pay pal refunded the money and I have not received the parts. I cannot get a response from the buyer or PayPal. Makes me want to buy a plane ticket to Georgia and pick up my parts. Any advice what to do? Looks like I am done accepting pay pal cant afford to give away product.

Have him email or call me, parker@gear-one.com   623-934-6913.

May be rebuildable depending on amount of damage.

Just remembered we have a wholesale account with Dewitt's radiator back east. Just talked to them and they can build a radiator off dimensions and photos. 4 to 5 weeks. That does not sound that bad to me although I probably miss some dune time. Then we are in Ireland for two weeks in April which is my favorite time to Dune. That and May. Oh well this season looks like it's going to be a little thin.

Ron Davis in Glendale is building me a new one right now, I paid an expedite fee and it should be done the week after new years. 

Joe should be out there late morning tomorrow. 

Look into Autodesk fusion 360 its free for personal use and $50 a month for professional use.

Real bummer there isn't a sand car class

Nice!  Used to run a door-slammer series (USTCC, then Pacific Tuner Car) that allowed turbocharging...

But required OEM transmissions.  Cry-treatment meant finishing a season before rebuilding transaxles. Cut operating temps as well.  

If you have parts that are marginal (930s with LS, for example), worth the relatively low cost if you can jump in on a batch.

All of our CVs we sell come Cryo  treated. Our tank is very large so I take advantage of any space during runs because the amount of liquid nitrogen it uses is not cheap.

Do you offer cryo services?

Yes we do.

Whats the reason for this?

We see about a 30% - %50 increase in life expectancy of most components treated

Reduces fatigue, wear and corrosion in most metals. increases tensile and yield strength. aligns molecules on a molecular level and also helps dissipate heat better

Also we use it on our machine tooling in house and have seen some carbide tooling life double when turning and milling heat treated alloys.

We were introduced to it through manufacturing gears for the mining industry, now we use it in off road, aerospace, refuse,  and weapon systems industries.

Some gears I pulled out of the Deep Cryogenic Treatment tank this weekend...

What a weekend, awesome being able to meet some of you guys and have some great conversations. Lost count how many times people asked me if these brakes are for Can am or rzr . 

I believe there use to be a thread on the old site of what harnesses everyone liked, need to get a set, the ones in my new to me sand rail look as old as me. I'm not worried about price this is a safety item.

1st DIBS.  Im in the Phoenix area.  Of course I got a GD postal delivery last week from Poule.  Anyone coming to the PHX area soon???

I will be headed out to Murrieta next weekend, I could bring them back to phoenix  

It was on a ls7 with stock intake manifold, I think it will fit any LS with stock intake manifold but I am not a engine guy...

Just now, Bobalos said:

I dont see anything.....

 

Hey guys I pulled this LS engine cover off my car it just got re powder coated black, it will not fit with my new intake if anyone can use it come pick it up. will ship on your dime.

Must not be this week, looks like he deleted his post.

Looks like tonight's new episode of pawn stars is in glamis. looks like that's the SL2 Joe built a few years ago.

Parker and Lance have been great to work with.  So appreciative of those guys working to keep the parts flow going and our stuff out in the dunes.  Their parts are very high quality and pricing is fair.  So many companies have gone the way of the SXS market and it's nice to have a USA manufactured source of parts for our big cars.

The UTV market is huge and we make a few products and help a few local race teams with some stuff, but we want to stay a sand rail company. Personally I have owned 2 UTVs and now I am in the process of rebuilding a new to me sand rail. UTVs are great just not for me.
