    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...

    Starlink

    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...

    Sand Car Prices - New and Refresh

    But is there a market to sustain a higher volume production build that would be necessary to recoup investment? The only way to get cost down and still have margin means you have to build higher quantity. How many people out there are going to spend $90k - $100k for a car like that? You would...

    Gen 4 Update

    Check with Grant to see if the shocks you got from him have the new set-up from King or if you got them before this was done. Funco worked with a King engineer and a few test cars and the shocks have a completely new set-up going forward. I don’t know at what point the change was made though. I...

    Duners Paradise, Someone needs to step up!

    OK that’s pretty damn cool. But look at the pictures. Why does somebody always building something bitchin like this but next to a trailer park? LMAO!

    Sequential Gearbox - Do You Clutch or Not?

    Can you expand on what it means to “pre load the shifter” ? Thanks!

    Sequential Gearbox - Do You Clutch or Not?

    I’m not surprised to hear most of you still use the clutch. For many of us I think it is just engrained in our brain and feels wrong to shift without clutching. How about any of you with Albins boxes?
