    RV Storage (current value/cost) discussion

    I don't think I'd own a RV if I could not keep it at home. The cost sucks, but more importantly, I don't trust anyone. Leaving my chit somewhere and hoping nothing bad happens doesn't work for me...

    Which CV grease to use?

    I always run swepco 101. No mix. Always works great. Tried the 164 for 1 season with bad results. Back to straight 101.

    How was your 2024/2025 Dune season?

    Non existent. Sad. New house is taking all my money. And now I'm doing some motorhome maintenance, that turned into $4400 and a shit ton of my time. Still haven't built my engine. Still in boxes. Next season is likely a no go as well.

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    I made the switch a few years back. I would never go back to a suspension seat. I agree that they were originally intended for limited suspension vehicles, and the seat helped absorb impacts. Now days everything has progressed to a level, and speed, where I believe containment is far more...

    Rear hub upgrade

    Personally, I think midboards suck for maintenance. I have the rbp super 99 microstub kit. He uses dana 60 unit bearings, and turns the wheel flange down. I figure if they an hold up the front end of a 1 ton truck, on 37" tires, pulling a 40' toy hauler, I'm probably ok. Plus it may be a far...

    Whats it worth? 4 seat sandcar chassis

    Well I may have found a 2 seat chassis, so I'm curious what mine is worth. It started out as a sandwinder but gas been highly modified and beefed up. Will be pretty complete, minus engine, trans, seats, and wheels/tires. It's tabbed for a ls/s4. King shocks and bypass all 4 corners, rbp super 99...

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    Don't be afraid of the rpm. Mine is typically 3500-5500 on a good run. Also, like other people have said, cross over the peak on the dune like a lane change, very shallow angle. If you can, follow someone with experience, it will pay off big time. If my junk wasn't broken currently, I would...

    Changing out shortstar

    The shortstar, and the popular hands j35a4 are both getting hard to find due to being out of production for many years. I had a j35a4, and 2 friends the shortstar. We are all in the ls camp now. Much easier to get, and much easier to get parts. Especially if you decide that you want more power...

    RIP Doug Courton

    He helped me celebrate my 40th, 2 years ago. Had one hell of a trip. Lost a front wheel at some point though..... Good dude for sure. RIP Doug.

    Help needed evaluating sand rail

    What city is the located in? This site has members everywhere, maybe someone could come look at it and identify what's on it. Different components can have a big effect on price.

    Camlock Harnesses

    I have what are you are looking for. Corbeau makes them. A word of advice, take the cam lock apart when you buy them and clean all the grease out. Re lube with dry graphite, or some type of dry lube. They are a bitch with the grease, sand sticks in them. After cleaning and dry lube they are awesome.

    Ruts are killing me!

    Making a light car handle the chatter and ruts is definitely not impossible, my last car was a small relatively lights car. When I purchased it, the suspension was horrible through the chatter. Keep messing with the flutter stack. It took me a few times to get it right, but again, it's...
