    Whats the widest enclosed trailer opening I can build?

    Universal built my client stacker with 110" rear door. Trailer is probably 114" overall, and looks every bit of it in the mirror. My 20' Universal has a 104" rear door, 108" overall.

    Cv boot questions

    In depth- I prep 10 to 15 cars a year, 9 out or 10 have 934 CVs. Of those 9 cars 8 have the Bates over boot. I rarely find loose CV bolts, and consider checking the CV bolts not necessary if you prep the car once a year. If my client is a hard core duner, which most are, I recommend pulling...

    has anyone seen a compound turbo set up in the dunes?

    Never seen or even heard of one. If it worked there would be plenty out there already. With these new cars making 30psi why compound them? The LS style block can only handle so much pressure.

    Cv boot questions

    Small boots tend to sling grease, and you have to pull the bolts to check the grease. Large boots (Bates over-boot) seal better and you only need to remove the hose clamp to check the grease.

    Which CV grease to use?

    I will never understand why people with $100k sandrails feel it necessary to find the cheapest CV grease, to use at most, once a year. If whatever you are using works for you, great. But why is price important? We are talking a few dollars here. Swepco is $18.99 per tube and BelRay is $56.99...

    Have you watched "Adolescence" on Netflix?

    My GF told me it was a great mini series so I watched i last weekend. I don't get it. The acting was great, especially the main character kid. But what was the point? Was that him in the video? Were those his shoes? Lots of build up for the knife, then nothing. What was the take away...

    Lets talk Engine Builders...

    Tony, known you for a long time, camped and done lots of business together. When the original engine in your Funco failed, quickly, you took it to Redline and they got it sorted out. It's been a great cars for the last few seasons. I can tell you good and bad stories about all of the builders...

    Love these threads. Especially when someone will badmouth a particular builder based on a 'buddies' experience.

    Fuel Transfer Tank For the Dunes

    I'm in the same situation. I've always had a transfer or auxiliary tank for diesel in my truck bed. My new truck has a folding bed cover and I like it. My buddy had a bulk refueling business (where Balin works now) and he said he can get me a tank that will fit under the be cover. It needs...

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    Fine line between safety and comfort. Helmets are a good idea in all sand cars and SxS's, same with a fire suppression system. But to each their own. And to add fire to my post I do not think helmets should be mandatory for SxS's and definitely not for street bikes. But I also think...

    Proper Seat and Harness Selection

    This topic used to come up on RDC a lot. I raced Class 1 for 10 years with suspension seats. Fortunately I was never in a bad wreck, other then being rear ended by a car we were towing to bump start. The teams owner did roll the car bad and walked away. After I stopped racing the team...
