Thank you!

Need Gen4 dash pods? 17.5"x11". One needs hole patching. Didn't fit, my dash is 2 inches wider. Arizona.

Any recommendations in Arizona for someone who is expert at tuning KING 3.0 shocks on Funco Gen4 for Glamis?

I got mine from Pacific Customs. Measured the inside of tube and outside of shaft. Probable even a local nut and bolt supplier would have them.

Very helpful. I'm learning a lot. So much more to understand but enjoyable. Thx Richard.

I would think just pull bolt out of u joint and the shaft will pull up and out. Replace bushing and reinstall. I would do both upper and lower at same time.

Ok great, thanks. Know where can I buy both bushing parts? Always a mystery on these Funco's.

Whers is the wobble in the steering?  There are bearings or a sleeve in the steering column tube.

For the throttle cable there should be a piece that swings over to hold it in. Looks like the sell the complete unit below.

Thank you sir this is exactly what I was looking for!!

Wanting to fix 2 issues with my 2006 Gen4 so looking for ideas and pics please. 

1. How to fix the steering wobble, perhaps fabricating longer tube off existing column. 

2. What is used to secure the gas pedal line on metal plate (not zip ties as I have shown).

I have been researching this exact thing for the last 3-4 months. I am going to have Dave's gas tanks in Phoenix weld me up a steel tank to sit on top of my 18' aluminum flatbed trailer. It will be 30" wide by 65" long and 10" tall. 85 gallons. Under $1k to purchase the tank. I already have the pump. I will place it over the axles on the deck. Also going to wire it a little different. Going to make a 25' positive and negative wire with alligator clips to run the pump off of the battery in the buggy vs the trailer or moho. Just put a switch on it and turn off when the tanks are full in the Gen 4. (I watch a site tube at the tank and fill it to the brim each time). Mileage in the buggy is not as good with flex fuel. I have been watching FB marketplace and CL for a used tank out there and actually have found a couple that would almost work. Found an aluminum one in Florida but shipping would be $220 dollars.

Any idea what a Gen4 weights with 20+ gal. tank full?

I’m going to be getting one made to sit under my Aluma deck over trailer. Not sure how many gallons it’ll end up being. It’ll fill & dispense from drivers side (off camp side). Right now balm e is the biggest issue. It needs to be pretty close to the axles to keep the trailer balanced. 

This is a great idea. Heard that deck overs are the best if we want to keep paddles on. Putting tank above or below between axles is smart for balance. Need to buy trailer first that just went up about $4k. All good worth it in the end. :)

Thank goodness I am not the only one going crazy on this topic. Sent an IM let's talk and figure it out!

Smart idea, that could work thanks have not seen such a setup. Trying to keep 17' rear wheels on during transport which puts LS/tranny weight slightly behind the back wheel well.  Weight up front might even that out. 

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!?
