I think a Littlefield would have been a better choice for induction. There's nothing quite like the whine from a gilmer belt and some blower surge at idle through zoomies.

Ever think the Kardashians would have gone on to be what they became if OJ never went on trial? I have to think the Kardashian name got more of the spotlight because of it.

We didn't go at all for 23-24, we have an unfinished chassis upgrade that may never get done. In hindsight we should have just left it alone, upgrades and all of the crap one thinks they need to drive around in the sand are completely unnecessary and a huge waste of money. Truth be told, I personally would like to sell all of this stuff and move on, the dunes are crowded, we get our pusher stuck a lot with no one to help us unf*ck it and it always seems like we spend more time in camp working on someone's sand car that doesn't run. Perhaps a dune reset is what we need? Only time will tell when we will be back.

Much different scenario but- I had a cracked windshield on my RV for a few years. Filed a claim with my old insurance company. I was in the process of changing companies. They sent out an adjuster. Told him a 'box' blew across then freeway during high winds in the 86 ans i couldn't avoid it. I just wanted the windshield replaced but he walked around the entire RV and wrote up every knick and scratch. A week later I had a check in my name for ~$7k. 

And then POW! your RV insurance goes up 25% on the next renewal for excessive claims.  Insurance companies suck big hairy balls.  

What is Facebook?

Like it or don't, Polaris owns the land and can do with it as they see fit. Polaris could care less about a dozen angry GD.com members.

Made in an era when quality still meant something. Nice rig for sure.

He could spend 2 million dollars a day for 40 years and still not ever run out of money. That is hard to comprehend. I hate to say it but that lifestyle would get old after a short time, there's only so many cool things you can buy before your mind would need other forms of stimulus. Could you ever find "true" love? It's a real life fairy tale. 

I know fractional sizes way better than metric. I ask millennial kids at my work to go open the top drawer in my toolbox and get me a chrome 12pt deep 15/16, they come back in just a few moments and say WTF did you want me to get again? Sometimes I f#ck with them and ask them to get me a 41/63, the look on their face is priceless.  Most new techs don't even buy standard sized tools, I find that very odd because I use both about an equal amount.

I literally couldn't work without standard and metric sockets, chrome and impact, short and deep, 6pt and 12pt, all in 1/4, 3/8 1/2 and 3/4 drive. After 35 years they all have the nicest patina on them, I cringe when I have to get a new impact socket that is all new and black. I still have and use my Snap-on wrenches I bought literally in 1988, a lot of the chrome is worn down to the copper but dam they feel good in your hand. 

I also rely 100% on my Ingersol Titanium 3/8 and 1/2 pnuematic impacts, I never got on board the electric tool train and never will, electric tools are noisy and heavy and don't get into places my Ingersols will. I drop my Ingersols, pick them up and they still work, drop an electric tool and good luck with using it again.

I was going to say something nasty about those who shoot off big mortars on my street every holiday and scare my dogs to death, but that would likely offend many of you who enjoy such activities. Please take them miles out of town to shoot them off, NO ONE wants to hear them every 10 seconds all night. 

We live west of phoenix and just spent $13,700 for underlayment replacement on our tile roof for 1900 sqft house. They used Fontana underlayment and the roofing company has a 2yr warranty on their workmanship. They had to replace 2 full sheets worth of plywood at several areas at the eaves due to rot. I don't know if they did a good job or not it hasn't rained here yet lol.

3 years ago I could have got the same job done for $7500 but waited because we didn't want to spend the money. 

I bought a set of 4 Triple X seats for my new buggy.  I have had them for a year now but have not got my car done so I havent tried them out yet. the construction quality looks good. They don't have buggy specific seats on their website anymore but they do have the frames for buggy specific applications. Color and material combinations are endless, as well as some nice cnc stiched patterns. My front seats are standard size and the rears are 2" shorter to help with legroom in the back seat. I do not notice the shorter seats when I sit in them. They are local in Phoenix.

I wanted to buy Jettrim but after a dozen attempts to get someone on the phone I gave up. I wasn't going to drive to Havasu to meet with them if there wasn't going to be anyone in the shop. 

Gonna need medical insurance if you're under the age of 65, plus car/homeowners insurance, property tax, vehicle registration, vehicle upkeep-tires etc., food, utilities, internet access, gasoline if you want to drive anywhere. Don't think that the appliances in your home will never break down again, or the 30 year tile roof will never need new underlayment. This list just keeps getting longer and longer. Truth is, if you don't own your home already and you don't have a million in the bank, you probably won't get to retire anytime soon.  Moving to Californizona is not the solution anymore, it is just as expensive here as it is anywhere else.

Fwiw, we just had the underlayment of our tile roof replaced, it was $15,000. Retirement you say? Yeah right!

It makes no difference what you think it may be worth. All of the accessories and crap people put on their sxs don't really change the fact that it's a sxs and it has a published value. Unless your policy declarations state that your accessories are covered also, you may be just wasting your energy. Take what they offer you and walk away. 

Please just listen to music through your headsets, no one (NO ONE!) wants to hear other's music in the dunes. When we stop and hang out, the tranquility is bliss.

I believe it's where Chevrolet unveiled the C8.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Oh no! Sometimes that's worse than...

No one should ever be burned, seriously injured or lose their life while at the dunes. 

I have a pair of Eibach 10" x 2.5" x 150lb springs for a 2" coil over. A 2" coil over uses a 2.5" spring.

I used these for a single trip and had to respring. They're even in the boxes. $130 and I'll get them shipped to you. Where are you located? I'm in Phoenix.

When did this happen? In 1985? That engine hasn't had oil in it or a pan on it in years. The oil filter boss and engine mount bolt holes are rusty. Seems fishy to me sir.

Just buy this instead, it's half the price and twice the fun. 

 You should ditch that LS and install a big inch rat with a littlefield and zoomies. 

That would be embarrassing to be seen in.

Make me a reasonable offer, someone has to need some shocks.
