    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    My buddy has the 3619 model and the front bedroom is SO much better. Mine is definitely tight, but it was the only trailer that would fit my car and be under 30'.

    37" UTV tires on our buggies?

    I know Rhys Millen runs 37" tensors on the jackal. More like a class 10 tire, but still much lighter than the BFG 37. https://tensortire.com/blogs/news/behind-the-tensor-dsr-37-rhys-millen-claims-overall-victory-at-norra-1000

    HELOAN's and HELOC's

    If you can borrow money at a lower rate than your risk-adjusted expected return, why wouldn’t you take advantage of that spread?

    Spring Tension Tie-Downs

    If you strap your car down to the arms or tires, straps will not come loose. I never strap a car to the chassis because as the suspension travels the straps loosen and tighten.

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    Yes, load levers and bags on the truck. Its the 6.6-liter diesel, and it pulls it fully loaded easy, but doesn't like over 70mph. Weights below for my '21 2917. My car is about 3,200 + gas in the car. Trailer has a 50 gal fuel tank. GVWR 13200 UVW -7600 Water -834 Gas...

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    Rear HappiJac bed and dinette retract to the ceiling, side-table folds against the wall, and two swivel chairs move behind the car. That's an amazing feature of this trailer, you can configure it on the l-track system so loading a car is really easy. My car is 93.25" wide and 195" long, it fits...

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    I did a lot of research looking for a toy hauler that would fit my class 1 car (weight and dimensions) and still be able to fit in most state / federal campgrounds. I ended up purchasing an ATC 2917, which was one of the only trailers that would fit the bill. I didn't want a motorhome because we...

    Old School 2 Seat Alumicraft Rebuild

    Great info here. What do the old shocks measure eye to eye and shaft length? Would love to hear about the rear setup too.

    Pull to tighten belts / sewn in pads

    More comfortable than belts with pads. Previous belts I had with pads would rash my neck. I currently have pull up style and do not like them, because they are difficult to adjust. I will go pull down on the next set. Right on- Hope to see you out there next season. Jason has some great...

    SU Sand Cars New Building and Dyno

    I went back and looked at the photos, the open tubes was on an older SU getting remodeled, and I was just referencing the rear cage where it terminates and they cap it. Doesn’t really matter, because the cars still have great lines. The suspension design in the front just reminded me of early...

    SU Sand Cars New Building and Dyno

    I have never made this comment anywhere else. I have said that Buckshots have a lot of bump steer and commented on some of the poor finish quality. These new SU cars are beautiful; the fit and finish is really nice. It's just an old school suspension design that will never function like a newer...

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    I am bummed to see your response a topic that as been proven and researched extensively. I am not going to argue with you on this forum, but please do some research before creating false conclusions. It's really simple- a suspension seat allows the body to move independently from the vehicle...
