    How’s your summer prep coming along?

    Well, I thought I was almost ready, but my engine decided otherwise.

    Going 11/1 first time in 23 years to Glamis

    Glamis has always been wild. Buggys and bikes getting stolen from camps and stripped overnight, epic parties, fights, and other not so legal activities. Not sure why everyone acts like this is new.... Maybe we just forgot, since we didn't have social media and camera phones back then. LOL!

    Another Tire Thread

    Since tires seem to be the topic of discussion as of late, I will ask my question. After reading the 36's too big for an S4 thread and the 36's/35.5's on 8" wheel thread I have been pretty torn on tire selection. My car is 2530lbs with a Fortin H pattern 4 speed. Twin turbo LS that I'm still...

    Rear tire advise

    As said above, the Blaster 33 is probably too much bite for the setup you have. Gearing makes a big difference, but I tried a few setups on my last car and the 13.00-Plus on a 10" wheel was by far the best overall for my 3.5/built 091 car. Car was 1600lbs without me in it. I had tried the...

    What do you do for work?

    I did REO lock outs, clean outs, bi-monthly inspections, and maintenance for a few years in the mid-late 90's. We saw so much shit people would lose their minds over today. A lot of stories though.

    Small Twin Turbos vs Supercharger - School me Please

    Not to derail this thread but planning to run pump gas on my tt setup. I'm hesitant to run E85 because of fuel consumption. What are you thoughts on 91 pump with VP additive? Race gas just keeps getting harder and harder to get in CA. https://vpracingfuels.com/products/octane-booster

    Sandrail LS Motors - Pics - Tools - QA.

    On this same note, When I was having my boat built, the Mercury Racing 600sci was something like $40k. 502 with a Whipple with a mere 600 crank hp. Greg (the salesman) told me hot rod guys always say that its BS to spend that kind of money for such low HP numbers. Well, Merc Racing will run...

    Camp Lights

    I added an awning light to my RV. Works good for grilling in front of the coach. Can dim and change color so it isn't too bright to have on while chilling. A little more work to install, but the results are worth it. https://www.boogeylights.com/rv-led-awning-light/

    Race Radios - School Me - Music Quality

    Yes, these work on radio frequencies so as long as you are on the same frequency, you can talk car to car. I can't speak much on sound quality though. I run the headsets being in a sand car and they sound okay. My wife likes the music while driving, but we don't crank it up loud.

    Trick or treating in Glamis?

    Halloween used to be fun in Glamis. We always made sure to have candy for the kids that showed up at our camp to trick or treat. Since camp rzr started, we went twice. The event itself was pretty cool, but the crowd it brought sucked. We haven't been for several years now...

    fires near lake Elsinore

    We were not in the evacuation zone for this one somehow... I wasn't too concerned until it came over the ridge and burned down the house on top of the hill. I decided to stay home from work Wednesday to keep my wife at ease. Everything is pretty much chill now. View from my ring camera was a...

    Buffed Tires

    Currently running the STU 10.5-17 on a 6.5" wheel. My rear setup is STU 33 #2 on a 8" wheel so they are a bit taller (solid 35"). STU has the 12.5-17 listed at 37" tall. Do you have an actual tire height on this tire by chance? I'm considering just running those with my 33's but I don't want it...

    Desert Dynamic Chassis and the different styles

    I enjoyed my Buggy Works version for several years. At 1,600lbs small power was plenty for duning. Fit in the trailer with the paddles on so no tire changes were needed. Outgrew the car though.
