    Tattoos Or Piercings?

    in General Chat

    Posted · Edited by Foxysandchick

    8 more months and i can start my tattoos! :finger:

    im going to pricz anyone got work done there?

    I got my left forearm done there. deffinately good peeps that dont f*ck around :dope:

    My artist is Jake. He was awesome with taking my idea and creating my piece.

    Both of mine were done at Pricz. I wouldn't go back just because they were heavy handed and I was more bruised than I should have been. I'm getting a large chest piece done soon, but I'm having a hard time with the shop I want to use. It has to be detailed and clean. Any suggestions I'm open.

    I'm surprised, must have just been the artist you used. I've been through 3 sittings for my back piece which was also a cover up and it didn't bruise and healed very quickly. Also the price was much less than other shops quoted me and people are always surprised at how much I paid when they see my tat. I'll be going back to finish the rest of my back at some point.

    I was going to use RayJ at PussyKat Tattoo since he did my 1st tat years ago and has done many for people I know, but they are booked about 2 months out and were not very friendly or willing to work on a custom piece.

    I went to Pricz and sat down with Jake and talked to him about what I wanted, gave him some examples and he took it home and drew it up for me, it came out better than I imagined. The cover up is fantastic, can't even tell there was a tat there before.

    Oh and Shanna (dunejumper) used Tyler for a tat on her wrist, I think it came out great.

    I started hiking the areas around here almost the first day I arrived in town!!

    Besides RedRock...my other fav is Valley of Fire!

    I keep trying to find someone to show me around Mt Charelston hiking areas.... but yeah no one seems to want to go!!

    Amanda and I were talking about wanting to do the hot springs trail this weekend...but I haven't looked into that thread I started Off the Strip.. some one had put a detailed post up on it!!

    I am always up for a hike, any weekend, I have the same problem.. finding peeps who wanna get up and do it!!

    My friend Mikey aka: KrayzeeMike he is always sending me pics from all over the place..last night it was some dry lake bed that he came across 15 miles north of Apex.. he has one of those on/off road motorcylces!!

    I think the hot springs in AZ just over the dam is Ringbolt Rapids Hot Springs, it is a 6 mile round trip. http://www.nps.gov/lame/planyourvisit/hikeazhot.htm

    The turn off once you get over the dam is really easy to miss, it is just a dirt road that ends in a dirt lot where the trail starts. Do it now before it gets too hot, I did it in July and that is not suggested!

    The trails in Mt. Charleston are pretty well marked and pretty accurate for difficulty rating and length, suggested to bring a light jacket even in the summer, another lesson learned the hard way.

    Christmas Tree is an easy ride in a truck. Takes about 45 min to an hour with a couple of neat places. Nothing extrodinary!

    If Keyhole is the one on the way to Searchlight it is small. We used to train there for S.A.R for rope work and climbing. Fun day to climb. Nothing to tough.

    A good ride is the Bitter Springs trail from close to Valley of Fire over to Lake Mead by Callville. Did it in the Rhino a while back!

    I've been wanting to do Keyhole Canyon and some other out in Nelson in my truck. I was just reading about some of those between Calville and Valley of Fire also and there is a few I'm looking to do.

    I just picked up this book that has trails from all around the valley, Great Basin SUV Trails Vol 1.

    We try to hike down to the hot springs on the arizona side of the hoover damn a couple times a month. There's a couple different trails down to them. We usually take the harder trail and do it at dusk.

    I have done the hike to the hot springs once before, we took the hard way in and the easy way out. I'd like to check it out again sometime.

    I want to hike the Lost Creek trail and some others in Red Rock. I've been to Mary Jane Falls in Mt. Charleston a few times along with some other trails. I'd like to check out a few more in each place.

    SST support SSC no support, I am sure the guys that know these cars will chime in, but my brother-in-law has a SSC and has issues with getting any reply back from them.

    :jester2:

    Mark I think you mixed that up, I read on here somewhere your bro-in-law has a SST :finger: . Wingnut said he knows Josey, maybe he can get your bro-in-law in touch.

    :?:

    Short Sand Cars are the most helpful people to ever deal with. At least in my experience they have been. Josey from SST was a great guy as well and always helped me when I needed something, but good luck getting any support from that company as they are no longer in business. (just like Chitty said)

    IMO, $12,500 is pretty much what that car is worth in this market. SSC & SST are comparable in some/ most areas. If you do certain updgrades to the SSC like I did, I believe they are up there with the best busa builders. Mine is basically a one-off making it much stronger and better-engineered than most othar SSC's. However I think King Sand Cars & Tom Pro have done a ton of R&D with their cars and are some of the best builders out there when it comes to this class of cars (busas). Just my opinion. :D

    He means it the other way around.

    I read that they were out of business then I read that they were back in business, so I wasn't sure.

    I'd love to have a SSC :MBdance: , but haven't seen any around for sale. There are a few King and Tom Pro selling and they are a bit $$. Your opinion is appreciated, you probably have the best knowledge of these cars :dope: .

    There is this 06 SST Hayabusa rail on craigslist for $12500. I believe he also has it on GD.com, but I can't get on there right not to check and I think he has had it listed for a long time without any buyers. So I'm wondering what are the downfalls/negatives of this car?

    I rode in DuneFreak's last car (the blue one) and loved it. I've heard the SST are not as good at Short Sand Cars and I've heard some good and some bad about SST, but is this car a good, reliable car for just some normal paced duning and is the price reasonable? There are other SST's listed at 13-18k, so why hasn't someone picked this up?

    Here is the info.

    •74" Wide @ Rear With Street Tires

    •10' 10" Overall Length

    •20" Front Travel

    •18" Rear Travel

    and the info he sent to me

    The drivers seat is adjustable. I'm the second owner. The frame has never been damaged, bent or rebuilt. I've added extra support in 2 areas. I'll attach photos. The rail is in great condition. I just had the engine serviced (new clutch rod, clutch case, check out) no problems, 4125 k miles show on the gauge. Dale @ SandTrix (sandtrix.com) out of Mesa, Arizona did the supports. The SST rail could have had better support in this area. As you see below the rear carrier has 2 pipe (not powder coated) coming off of it to the frame. FYI - You'll need to do this if you go with another SST (sick sand travel) and want it to be sound. The second picture is supports I added to both sides above the rear A-arms. I added these just for precautionary reasons. They are not powder coated either.

    Here is the link to the ad.

    I've already figured out Short Sand Car and Tom Pro are probably the best for hayabusa mini's, but not many SSC's for sale and Tom Pros are going for 30k. There are a few King sand cars for 18k-20k and of course there are a few Sick Sand Travel cars for around 12k-18k, but they usually seem to sell pretty quickly.

    Well if that paint doesn't hold up for you, I was told to use High Heat paint such as this....

    http://www.krylon.com/products/bbq_stove_paints/

    or

    http://www.krylon.com/products/high_heat_radiator_paints/

    by the painter at my work.

    I was more concerned with the temp of the motor than gas spills, but for the tank he suggested

    regular rattle can

    http://www.krylon.com/products/indooroutdoor_paint/ 3-5 coats with proper prep, sanding and drying time followed by 1 of these

    http://www.krylon.com/products/uvresistant_clear/

    http://www.krylon.com/products/triplethick...al_clear_glaze/

    http://www.krylon.com/products/acrylic_crystal_clear/

    with about 5 coats of clear.

    He says as long as you stick with the same brands of paint and use a quality rattle can with the proper technique you can get a finish as good as using professional automotive paint. Or of course you can buy automotive paint and do it yourself also.

    Going to be my summer project :D but I'm doing it as cheap as possible.

    How are you painting the plastics??

    OMG we are all a bunch of retards :beercheers:

    :yiah::laughing:

    How well do the Carlisle (holeshots) work in the sand? They just seem like such a hard tire and was curious if the stockers with less air work better.

    I put 2lbs in the stockers and they ride great, mine climbs to the top of the big part of the finger dune with Bert on it, can you ask for much more out of a :atc: ?? Also it corners fine, nobody roll it sideways when we set up a track last trip and they were going pretty fast :loser: !
