I've always paid for AAA tow for RV/Trailer and when I called to use it for the first time about 6 months ago they wouldn't do it. Had a bad axle on a boat trailer that was 30' long. Asked them to tow it to my house and they said the only thing they would do is put it on a flat bed, but they...

I think the last one I saw like that used one of these style brackets welded to the cross tube, then the steering shaft was mounted using two heims, so you could adjust the angle of the steering shaft/wheel...

One of the coolest cars John built. Glad someone snagged it. It's an awesome ride.

Good weekend of duning with a handful of Alumicrafts including @Ripster and @Reece Pettersen

Don't worry, @Reece Pettersen, sky and I will be there this weekend to burn through every single dune from China Wall to the border

I take it those are VW type 1 hubs? Edit: just saw the above responses. Yes that's probably what they are

No longer, will be joining our camp this season.

Here's a few more photos of my favorites I've saved. I've never driven a 4 seater of that vintage @HP.Habits, interested to hear what your take is on it. The 2 seats are incredible, but interested in how the wheelbase of the 4 seaters do. Add a B-pilar if you are doing any fab work. My car...

Perfect, I'll drop it down low then. I would go to braided but my pickups are welded to the water pump. If I ever go to a Meziere pump I'll switch

Couple notes about this car: - The car was originally built for Jim Anderson, who has been involved in the racing community for a very long time. Jim Anderson and Guy Evans (previous owner of my car, who then owned the alumicraft baja bug) went to John Cooley to have this car, and my car built...

My return water line has always gone up over the top of my headers. I've always thought it was too dangerously close to the headers on one side, and plug wires on the other. It hasn't been an issue yet in the dunes, but our baja trip finally cooked it since we were driving 2+ hours at a time...

Safe to say we like our alumicrafts. I think we have around 9 of them in our group now. I think the term "dual sport" is used entirely too frequently, but damn can these cars do everything exceptionally well. I've been able to drive early 00 alumicrafts, and brand new race car alumicrafts, they...

On most cars using those style relays (most without switch pros) the relays are for: 1 - Fuel pump, 1 - Ignition, 2 - Fans (one each fan). Your fifth relay might be for the stereo, but if it has an inline fuse then maybe it's for something else. None of those other current circuits would need a...

When I went through it with my last truck, the DMV gave me the paperwork as a reference to the CHP. I can't remember what the form number was though.
