    What Batteries do you run?

    2 separate grounds. One to chassis, and one to chassis that is at the engine mounts for redundant ground to block. I had the computer wire direct to the battery so it wouldn't have to go through the "relearn" process when started again. But I think it should store even if I run it through the...

    What Batteries do you run?

    Maybe this will be my next choice then. I have a legit disconnect. Problem is with the car in storage, I don't have the opportunity to put a trickle charger on them. I also have a direct wire for my computer that may be the source of my slow drain. May need to run that through the disconnect...

    What Batteries do you run?

    When I bought my car I had 2 Odyssey ODS-AGM42L group 26 batteries. They were on their last legs, so I put 1 single Full Throttle FT560 in it. That battery didn't make it through 2 seasons. Now I need some new batteries and plan on putting 2 new ones in. My battery tray is built around these...

    Insured Value for Higher End Sandcar

    Just got my renewal from Statefarm, up 100%. When I called she said "it's because all of the SxS drivers keep totaling their vehicles" No other options I've found yet. It's wild how expensive it is now.

    Insured Value for Higher End Sandcar

    Statefarm, what I paid for it, it's not cheap. But I sleep well at night

    2005 Alumi Craft Dash - Owner / Mounting Info?

    I believe its one of these. But that does look a tad lower. Ill ask Sky to snag a photo of his https://www.kartek.com/parts/laser-innovations-03-111-weld-on-34-steering-shaft-support-bracket-with-bronze-bushings.html

    RV Storage (current value/cost) discussion

    Where is it? I've been looking all over southern california for my 35' fifth wheel. I paid $370/month in newport for a few months, then moved it to Irvine and now pay $290/month. There's $200 options further inland, but I like to keep it a bit closer to my house.

    Which CV grease to use?

    Ah yes, this argument again. Love this one. I personally found Nacho Cheese worked the best this past season. At $6 a gallon, you really can't beat it

    Tariffs

    Like I said, I've chatted with facilities across the US. Pricing does not get better than what I've built here. Sure some tax benefits elsewhere but not enough to offset the entirety of my operational costs and uprooting. I'm not a big operation. Sure if I had a business that was 50+ employees...

    Tariffs

    I've had conversations with factories and facilities from here to Florida, in every nook and cranny of the US. It's just not possible. Yes I can raise my prices, but guess who gets to feel that? The customer... So I either work with overseas manufacturing, or close my doors and lay my employees off.

    Tariffs

    Here's an interesting take that I think most overlook. Because manufacturing overseas got cheap, it opened up OPPORTUNITY for stateside men and women to create their own business that employ people. A good example is my business. I make/sell cocktail mixers, wearable goods, and vacation goods. I...

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    I personally looked at a suspension seat that was involved in a crash recently, in a buggy. The seat bent around the rear harness bar. I'm not one for speculation, but I would have to imagine that a hard shell seat would not have done that.

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    I want to be clear, I am not a proponent of more laws. I'm a proponent of people making the right decisions in their vehicles. I think there is an overwhelming amount of people in our sport who blissfully unaware that the vehicle they are driving can kill them if they don't use the right safety...

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    Yea there's still a ton of suspension seats out there. They were fantastic upgrades when they came out. But as speeds increase, so does the necessary protection IMO. It's my opinion that no car that can do over 50mph should have suspension seats, many will disagree. The sheer force of an extreme...
