Lots of good input - thanks all. In summary, the general consensus looks to be that there is no standard or typical which is what I suspected. I'm going to switch mine. Yes, it's a Funco and doesn't need one as the car will go where you point it. However, it adds to the fun factor for me. I...

I did a search and nothing came up on this which surprised me. The turning brake in my new car is set up the standard way Funco does them (maybe most do them this way too?). Push up to brake the driver's side tire and turn left, pull back to brake the passenger side and turn right. Both Grant...

And don't forget about tire and wheel load ratings. Especially if you go SRW and heavy pin box 5'er. If you plan to put on fancy, large diameter wheels the tire load rating drops significantly. Especially after you exceed 20" wheels.

awesome - thanks!

Can you get adapters to use helmets with Rugged plugs in a car that has PCI Trax or vice versa? I have PCI Tax in the new car but the SxS the kids drive has a Rugged system. I would like the helmets with comms in them to be interchangeable when someone rides with me or switches cars. Is this...

I had a bad experience towing a rental utility trailer I inadvertently overloaded when I was much younger. Ended up losing two axle bearings catastrophically going down I-10 near Palm Springs. It swung my truck 180 from the right lane to the far left shoulder and now facing head on into traffic...

One of the groups I ride with in Oregon is going to St Anthony’s. Someone had to cancel so I’m planning to take their space at Idaho Dunes RV. I plan to get there Friday June 20th then leave Monday after a morning ride. Anyone else going to be there during that time?

Had a great day yesterday. My daughter and I did a day trip down to Oregon Dunes. The weather was fantastic. Both my new car and the SxS she drove ran great. We had a nice time. Only drawback was there was a lot of standing water which I have never seen there. We had to cross a creek that was...

That looks pretty interesting. Looks like there are numerous mount options so I just have to find the right one. Thanks for sharing this!

What do you all recommend for cell phone holders for a sand rail? I thought there was a thread on this but search didn’t find anything. I’m looking for a mount that will screw to a flat upholstered surface then have an articulating arm. I’m thinking to secure it to my center console. Dash mount...

You have to look at the individual specs on each one. Most of these are designed for heavier loads and won't give you much, if any flex at 10k. Especially the Gen-Y torsion unit.

I'm sure Eclipse will not be the last to go under. The RV market is continuing to soften. Anyone that does not have the financial ability to make it through this period will either disappear or get bought by the big entities. The worst part is this is bad for the end consumer. Consolidation and...

So coming home I did go a different route. I left Glamis and drove to Vegas via Blythe, Needles and into Vegas. It's pretty amazing when you cross the state line into Nevada and the roads become smooth as silk. After Vegas I drove up to Sand Mountain and met @Justdirt there. We had a fun couple...

The kind that go vroom vroom! 😀😀 It’s not outrageous. It showed 791 on the dyno at the rear wheels. Plenty for me. I wanted it to run pump gas.

Those lights are for my wife. I took her to the SSSS and she them in a Funco on display. She said she wanted them. Least I could for her I guess.

I thought about it but didn’t want to have to get a bigger trailer to haul it

It was a short first trip to Glamis. Got chased away by the wind. I got a few hours of just basic back and forth around pad 2.5 only. But it was very worthwhile. Especially when Chad George came out and give me a little driving lesson and answered all my silly questions. As far the car - I...

Good perspectives - thank you. I guess it can’t be all that bad or why would millions of people live here right? I’m very familiar with San Diego, we have a division there I’m responsible for so I travel there quite often. Great Mexican restaurants there, something we are sorely lacking up in my...

Is that based on quality of dunes? Sand Mountain is closer to my route I believe and have a friend that will meet me there so I’m not duning alone
