Steel-it seems to be the ticket, also considering you don't have to take apart a perfectly good shock. Does it hold up pretty well on the threaded bodies? or should those be cerakoted?
definitely plan for powder on the springs
This is all true! Every carrier in the state of CA is filing for rate increases.... due to rates being frozen for almost 2 years after covid, thanks to the insurance commissioner in CA.... he pretty much single handedly screwed up the CA insurance market trying to play politics
Progressive is a decent carrier w/ good service. They are considered more of a "standard carrier: and not a " preferred carrier"
so do not expect top notch service if you are leaving a preferred carrier to switch to progressive. Who do you currently have your auto insurance with?
What holds up better in the sand world? Have some KING shock bodies that can use a freshen up, and trying to debate between the two? Looking to just do a solid black, either satin or semi-gloss.
any other pros/cons to using either one?
Has anyone experienced both? and is the TRAX significantly better?
if I am reading it correctly, to get the full benefit of the TRAX system you need to run new cables and new headsets as well?
currently have a standard intercom w/ the old school racer X mini amp tied into it... and I upgraded...
For new build definitely go 35 spline up front. Just make sure to carry a spare CV and maybe 1 axle as they are harder to find when you’re in a pinch for time. Hopefully you’ll never need the spares but nice to have.
are you currently having axle or CV issues w/ the 33 splines?
35 is supposed to be stronger... had a friend that was going through CV's w/ 33 splines, he has swapped to 35 spline and so far so good after about 1 season. But this is through a 2 seat TRX w/ close to 2k HP and someone who runs it...
I sort of agree when the dunes are beat to crap... This last weekend the conditions were nice and I fell back in love with my car.
Still an LS powered car in the 50K range in decent conditions is a lot more fun than buzzing around in a SxS IMO
Extreme seems to be doing this the best. Inflation is a mofo... 125K is the new 75K.
Still can't beat a buggy in the sand. SxS are cool for their versatility, but if you're doing sand only... a 50K used LS1 buggy is gonna outperform the SxS
CBR... but not sure if their customer service has improved? Heard they were taking longer than expected few years back and they were hard to get a hold of. I put a new CBR radiator in my car in 2020, and no complaints.
