    Auto insurance

    I hate insurance and dealing with it. My insurance agent sucks and I’m in the process of changing. I’m finding most agents suck. Hopefully the new agency I’m going to will be an improvement. I’m not in California so that helps some. I have 6 cars, 3 trailers and. 4 drivers with a company called...

    Sequential Gearbox - Do You Clutch or Not?

    What do you guys think of this video on how to shift a sequential? Not sure about his driving though. Don’t think I ever go back to 1st gear after I’m moving, Maybe his gear ratio is spread more than what I’m used to though?

    What size winch for enclosed trailer and sandcar.

    I would get a low cost AGM group 27 or 31 and be done with it. Most of those should be in the 100AH range. That will give you a decent number of load pulls before you have to charge. And no fluid level to have to worry about and mess with.

    Photo and video shoot.

    Cool videos. Looks like a little rear bounce happening. Perhaps some rebound adjustment needed?

    Extreme Performance DR1 New Build

    Those are some hell for stout engine mounts. Don't think I've ever seen them done like that. At least, not that I've noticed anyway.

    What's your opinion/take on the efforts of DOGE?

    I agree cuts are absolutely necessary and our Govt spending is out of control. However, I would like to see better planning and selections on the cuts. I work for a large defense contractor and our number one customer is the Navy. They are losing all their best Contracting officer's and most...

    Maverick X3 - Rebuild or Replace Clutch?

    I installed the replacement rollers and cleaned up the faces and all seems good now. It actually was pretty easy to do. I’m very happy with the tools and parts I bought from Hunterworks. They make quality stuff!

    Speed UTV

    What's the deal with the love affair between Speed and the guys at Joe Fab? I like the videos the guy does @duneaddict on YouTube showing all the repairs they do there. But anytime a Speed car goes by or comes up in conversation it's like they cream themselves and talk about how great the cars...

    What size winch for enclosed trailer and sandcar.

    Depends how you trailer is built. I ordered my trailer with a winch plate built in. You just need to get it bolted into the frame structure. Either directly or with a backing plate or tie plate or angle.

    What size winch for enclosed trailer and sandcar.

    Personally I think the Badlands 5500 Long drum is about the perfect winch for inside a trailer. I put one in my enclosed. Add the wireless remote and it works great. Watch for a HF coupon to save 20% or more. https://www.harborfreight.com/5500-lb-utv-long-drum-winch-with-synthetic-rope-57535.html

    Maverick X3 - Rebuild or Replace Clutch?

    So after some more research I’ve decided to try a different route. After looking closer at my secondary clutch I can see the rollers are broken and one is missing completely. So I’m going to replace the rollers and washers and see if that doesn’t fix my issue. I ordered the rollers, washers and...

    Maverick X3 - Rebuild or Replace Clutch?

    Good info. I'm on the bubble as to just ordering the MC or pony up for the STM. I can buy 3 of the MC sets for what the STM cost. 🤑🤑 Just not sure if it's that much better? It sure looks better from what I've seen and researched. I like how STM gets all your car info, mods, tire size, etc and...

    I mounted the Gen 3 antenna to my roof - works great. I also have one mounted on my boat and it works great too.

    Maverick X3 - Rebuild or Replace Clutch?

    I have a 2018 Maverick X3 Turbo R. It has a tuner and running 195 hp so same as a RR. It is mainly driven by my young adult kids when we go to the dunes or on trails. The secondary clutch just starting making a god awful noise and the belt is slipping when starting from a stop. I put a new belt...

    Extreme Performance DR1 New Build

    Looking really nice - congrats! Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage of the lower, side dump exhaust vs going out the back? Is that to gain the room to put that silencer on there?

    Sand Car Prices - New and Refresh

    Depends on what you want as far as price. You can get a new build for less than that. And current wait time is just under a year as last reported a few months ago. When I shopped it last year I found Funco was actually less than most other high-end builders and wait time was shorter. I'm not...

    Sand Car Prices - New and Refresh

    Sounds like a great car for a good price compared to some others. I have a new Funco build on their shop floor right now so I am keenly aware of the costs there. Of course, not the same car and has lots more power, bigger trans, more stuff, etc. So you can't really compare the two just on cost...
