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.

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...

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...

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...

I have PRP alpha composite seats, similar to a sparco.

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

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...

2" impact cam locks Almost everyone in my group switched to them and love them. No neck rash and really high quality. https://www.impactraceproducts.com/16_5_PRO_Series_Integrated_Camlock_Restraints_p/restraint-integcam-pro-2x2.htm

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...

Some sound advise right there ;) Sorry, how is that "the same comment"?

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...

Looking for car scales

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...

Comparing an OE application to a race or sand car isn't a sound argument. We don't have airbags or other saftey features OE applications have. The issue is spinal compression and body movement in a suspension seat. Agree that helmet is important, but disagree with the seat choice isn't as...

Great post Ace. Few things to add... From Jeff Furrier of UPR Racing Products: "A shell seat like a Sparco is crash tested to meet FIA standards that are compiled in part from real crash data. The FIA standards are strict and it’s not cheap to get a seat tested and approved, which keeps...
