Linc is correct, if the ring and pinion is broken the open diff will still function as it should spinning within the diff carrier but if both wheels are trying to roll in the same direction it will spin the ring and pinion which could be jammed up stopping the car from rolling forward. if the...

You're correct. A very light shim stack will help the bypasses a little but if you want your bypasses to have complete control remove the valving in the co completely. as mentioned before the piston alone will add the slightest bit of dampening and the nitrogen pressure will add very little...

Simple answer is yes for both questions.

thank you sir, im not exactly sure who makes them but its a carbon fiber cover made for the ugly Ls truck intakes.

well the car did great, I am still working through some suspension tuning and need to go up on the lower rear springs a little but other than that she performed flawlessly. between now and the old school round up trip I'm going to update the lighting as this thing has some very old...

I had to make sure the windshield worked. Im sorry you had to see her in her house slippers I really need to get a set of desert tires for this thing.

@Kraut_n_Rice the glass came out of an old Toyota pickup. Which seems to be the most common glass for sand cars. The biggest key to cutting glass is to relieve any stress possible cutting the corners first takes some of the compound radius (bowl) out of the glass making the sides come off easier.

Hey gents, The car is complete! This is my first successful radius windshield cut and this is a tricky job so shout out to all the dudes that have this process dialed in. I also added some covers to the lights. Our firs trip of the season will be the 23rd. I cant wait to see this thing in dune...

Another good older option would be a forest river sand storm. in 2008 area they had big chassis, outrigers flat floors without wheel wells and seem to have been built really well.

A few years ago I spoke with dunesport and they said they could build a trailer with a 100" opening. A couple of the race trailer manufacturers will build a 102" opening trailer. IE King race trailers.

Where are you located? if you're in the phx metro area Rad glassworks will be your go to guy to supply and cut the glass for you. I have cut several flat windshields but for the car glass it is very tricky and Rad seems to have the procedure down pretty well.

The glass most commonly used is a fw471 from an old Toyota pickup or for runner then cut to size. The frame is made with 16g 6061 aluminum. Flat is the quick and painless way to go for sure. You could do a flat windshield in your car for $300-$600 including glass if you’re willing to cut it...

New windshield frame is completed and will go to powder today. I also replaced the 6" single row rigid in the bumper with a 2 row. this thing is way brighter than the single row and since im not running the roof light bar currently and hardly do any night riding this should be plenty of light...

I really dig the one piece roof/windshield frame design. this thing is coming out awesome.
