  7. ummm....good luck. Unless you "know people" there really isn't any way of getting around it. Your truck will fail for a tamper inspection if you do not have one.
  8. :poop_hittin_the_fan: man some of those came out even better than I thought they were gonna! awesome...hahaaa Best trip EVER!
  9. I agree. Trust me...we'd be the first ones to own one if they weren't so damn crazy and flung so much poo. :poop_hittin_the_fan:
  10. Sandblast badass duning video Give it Gas ok, but gets kinda boring- its mostly just drags at Glamis Glamis Gone Wild- :poop_hittin_the_fan: ok at first, but over it Dust to Glory - badass documantary movie and highly reccomend watching it if you haven't yet Travis Pastrana Nitro Circus 1-4 and I think 5 is almost out: ALL A MUST SEE Crusty Chronicles (Crusty 1-10 all in one combined DVD) : awesome DVD as well Sand Addiction the movie: pretty good Let me know if you wanna borrow any of these, Brian. You are welcome to them as long as I get em back within a couple weeks or so. Hey we should start a video rating page on the site rating quad/ rail videos using and 's
  11. Tuners aren't all that bad if you know how to use them and don't go overboard. Yes I am running a hypertech on stage 2 and always watch my EGT's and drive accordingly. I wouldn't add any more boost though beyond a mild programmer. That just me though. I like to play it safe. Its not worth it going more HP, boost, timing, etc.
  12. Wow, very cool except that I will also be in Cali that weekend. :poop_hittin_the_fan:
  13. :poop_hittin_the_fan: ok ok, THIS is actually our monkey. Its a brass monkey (ok it a brass chimp/ not a monkey but close enough)
  14. Very cool. Glad you had a great trip. I kinda thought like you except about Dumont being the ONLY place to ride until I went to GLAMIS. They are both such great places and have their own strong points. I love em both though and plan to do the same as you and mix it up a lil bit next season. :poop_hittin_the_fan: That weather was indeed wierd. One minute it was calm, then it was all crazy windy for a short while like Fri night.
  15. Sweet. You guys can save me a spot then. :poop_hittin_the_fan: I probably won't get there till friday night.
  16. Where did you get that from? I'm not buying a boat anytime soon. I have enough friends that have boats now I don't think I will EVER need one. :poop_hittin_the_fan: and why did you appologize? I was the one who ALSO bumped this thread up not that long ago.
  17. Looking very good Yosh. :poop_hittin_the_fan: I can't beleive how big that bad boy is.
  18. When you're dumping can't you tell when it has stopped flowing through the tube without a clear tube? I know I can. Just my 2 piece...oh I mean 2 cents. :poop_hittin_the_fan:
  19. chitty, Tim. At least its at the end of the season though and not right smack dab in the middle. Don't you have an extra motor already though?
  20. Those are big bucks! :poop_hittin_the_fan: So is the alternator conversion. Pain in the a$$. cool. I will keep that in mind. thnaks That would be a good alternative should I need more juice. yep, internal ballast. Thats what caught my eye with these.
  21. Heck no. Paddles all the way. Especially on a 2 wheeler. It's SOFT there.
  22. I might even have to drop a ton of cash and get these. I have heard really good about these. They're like twice the price though. :freakin_nuts: https://www.bajadesigns.com/net/mainframe2....category=TRKBGY
  23. I was thinking the same thing, Randy. My only concern is powering them up. HID's take less to run, but their initial surge when powering up is quite a power spike. My last HID's actually killed the ignition and shut the motor off on the Busa. :freakin_nuts: (the stock stator is pretty weak) Larry at SSC told me that Jumuji car did the same thing. I think the HID's we both used were a tad different though from these though. Most Trail Techs I have seen seem to power up slowly. The cheaper set of HID's I had before (Eagle Eye knock offs) would actually flicker really bright right away rather than start dim then grow bright. I am hoping these work fine with my car, otherwise I will do whatever it takes: even bigger battery, run a larger stator, whatever. It looks like I am not the only one who was looking at these :freakin_nuts: http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....c=126299&hl
