    S5D vs Fortin FRS5

    I would consider this FRS5. Plug and play option is very nice! I had no issues with the FRS5 i had in a prior class 1 car. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1096330259065714/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Old School Alumicraft Video

    I had first option to buy it before it was listed. Jim, the seller, was in our group that I grew up going to the dunes with. Beautiful car!

    Old School Alumicraft Video

    Another instagram reel I posted, so figured I would share here too. This car was so much fun! Got to love an Outfront 2.5 turbo in a nimble car.

    #103 In the Dune - Alumicraft / Danzio / Albins w_ Billet Torque Convertor & No-Lift Shift

    I uploaded this short video to my Instagram, but thought I’d share it here as well. The torque convertor with no-lift shift is amazing! If you listen close, you will hear the no lift shift in action. This car is so much fun to drive!

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    My buddy has the 3619 model and the front bedroom is SO much better. Mine is definitely tight, but it was the only trailer that would fit my car and be under 30'.

    37" UTV tires on our buggies?

    I know Rhys Millen runs 37" tensors on the jackal. More like a class 10 tire, but still much lighter than the BFG 37. https://tensortire.com/blogs/news/behind-the-tensor-dsr-37-rhys-millen-claims-overall-victory-at-norra-1000

    HELOAN's and HELOC's

    If you can borrow money at a lower rate than your risk-adjusted expected return, why wouldn’t you take advantage of that spread?

    Spring Tension Tie-Downs

    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.

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    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...

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    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...

    Smallest toy hauler that would still fit a Funco Gen4.

    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...

    Old School 2 Seat Alumicraft Rebuild

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

    Pull to tighten belts / sewn in pads

    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...
