  1. Thanks. A fellow duner said they had sent one in for repairs a while back, and nobody would even mess with it. There are a few on Market Place in my area, but they are asking $500.00 to $550.00. 

  2. Looking for a direct replacement radio. I know nothing about these and had never used one previously. I was told it is obsolete and that I probably ruined it by keying the mic without the antenna attached.

  3. I might have 20 channels, but 6 are religious, 3 are home shopping, 3 are cartoons(not the good ol' ones), and 5 are Spanish. I really need to learn Spanish because they are the ones that look interesting!

  4. 2TurboFords, did you go from beam front to a-arm? I have a buddy that designed and builds "replacement" a-arm suspension.  And to any critics, yes he knows his geometry!  (I don't) Funny, I was going to list "gates for your house" in the header for this thread. That bike reminds me of the side-hack, choppers, and wobble wheeled bikes we built as kids. I even remember breaking the handlebars off my tricycle,  and my dad welding a T shaped set out of water pipe, and welding that to the front wheel! Oh, the good ol' days.

    This is what I came up for suspension:

    My pride and joy from 4 years ago. Took a $200 harbor freight trailer and made it a tiny camper. We have had so much fun with this thing. looking to go a tad bigger before the season ramps back up. 

    The entire build starts here

    Makes ALL the difference when your young'uns are involved!

  6. Bobalos, I have followed your mods on here. Like it! Rockwood, I hope all turned out ok. I dune with an awesome bunch of guys, from all over. Mostly all self built cars. Those that aren't have their own special characters. I hope my duning buddy from Wichita will show his passenger side adjustable foot rest that he built. I admired it on our last trip. (He will know who he is) Here is a failed attempt at 1 of my sets of Subaru headers. Too restricted. Turbo said "No way"! (Not the pic I was hoping for, must have deleted)

  7. I would like to see people's homemade stuff. I know you ladies and gents are out there. Doesn't need to: live up to others expectations, please the masses, be perfect, made with computers or cnc tubing benders. Or even sandcar related. Maybe you built a go-kart for you kid, or a special tool/wrench. I will share a 5 link bearing carrier for starters.

  8. That is so cool that you are seeing it change. I don't have pics of the morphs, but here are a few neat ones. The white one isn't actually a Caterpillar, but a grub of a wood burrowing, flying beetle. They shoot green "poison" out of their head when you pick them up. I believe the red one is/will be a Goliath moth. I would like to see other bugs and critters that you have out west. I have pics of other things from here, also.
