  1. Nice find! I'm doing this when I get home after work today. Thanks!
  2. I'm just tossing this out here. I'm looking on this board everyday for these... I'm currently looking for a set of used paddles 13.00 plus - 15 and used razors not sure of size but 15" tire. Also looking for wheels. My lug pattern is a little different from normal, I believe they are 5 on 4.5 (from what I measured). Please let me know IF anyone has wheels or tires for sale. I'll be ready to buy after Jan. 24th...CASH!!!! They don't have to be a set, I'll purchase paddles from someone and razors from someone else, same with the wheels but I'd like them to be a set of 4 (all the same wheels). BTW, I live in northern LA County / southeast Kern County (93560) Thank you, Brady
  3. So, I was looking into this for some of you. I found this map on http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=296793&hl=Primm...
  4. I looked at this rail back in March time frame. Very nice looking rail, runs and sounds awesome! The main reason I didn't buy it...I couldn't fit in the driver seat very comfy. My right leg hit the center console and I couldn't move to the brake very easy, otherwise this would have been mine. Sorry Doug but at 6'7" it's hard for me to fit in most cars without major mods.

  5. So,I have my buggy in the shop for a hard start and it's miss firing while running issue. The shop called me today for an update. They said it looks like the LINK EMS is not talking to the engine correct or the LINK is failing. The shop owner said that he would suggest EFI Live for my Subaru 2.0 motor instead of the LINK. Now, I have researched EFI Live for my diesel but I didn't know they do gas motors too. Does anyone have EFI LIVE in their buggy or any other gas motor? If so, how does it work? The owner told me it's pretty ease to install, which I knew cuz I'm going to install it in my truck...soon. Any how, if you have EFI Live in a GAS motor or in your rail, please post up and talk about it. Thanks, Brady
  6. WOW..some very weird pictures to find on a camera that you found at Dumont. I would of thought that there would be pics of Dumont.
  7. ^^I think it's a spoon with food on it. Check the photo before it.^^ I'm speechless...but it's funny what booze will make people do! Even Japanese! Where did you find this camera?
  8. DAMN! I'm looking for 33-15 Blasters. Just my luck, always showing up late!
  9. I'm going to be heading out the weekend before Halloween. It'll be my first trip to the sand with my 'new to me' car! Hopefully are camping/dunning friends will be going too! I just informed them this past weekend that I will be going out the weekend before Halloween. It works out good because it's my sons high school football teams bye week, no game on Friday night!
  10. ^^Thanks and yes, I too found it on Bakersfield Craigslist.^^ I made contact with the builder and talked to him for a little bit yesterday. This buggy was the 1st one in "The Gecko" series that he built. Jeff Pessetto built a total of 32 different buggies. Jeff would love to hear from anyone that has one of the www.thebuggyshop.com buggies.
  11. Well, I'm doing my research and it looks like it is not a Tatum rail. From what I've found on the web, this rail was made by thebuggyshop.com and it's called the "Gecko". That's why it has the little "Gecko's" welded on the frame. The Buggy Shop was out of Phoenix and is now closed. The builders name is Jeff Pessetto. He closed shop around '07-'08 time frame. I'm going to try and contact him. Maybe he'll have some useful information for me.
  12. Nope, not sure. The guy I bought it from told me it was a Tatum. I've looked all over the rail and can't find any markings for the manufacture.The title is from AZ and the make states "SPCON" which I searched and found that "SPCON" means Specialty Constructed. In AZ there are six types of specially constructed vehicles that are titled by the AZ DMV; 1. Kit Vehicles 2. Dune Buggies A Dune Buggy is a small light vehicle generally made from a small rear engine chassis (VW is commonly used) and a specially constructed or prefabricated, often fiberglass, body. 3. Sand Rail A Sand Rail is a small lightweight vehicle generally constructed from a tubular frame, engine, transmission and other custom parts. The frame can be purchased from a manufacturer or custom made by an individual. VW engines and transmissions are commonly used. 4. Homemade Trailers 5. Motorcycles 6. Glider Kits Gecko...I'll look into that. Thanks for the information.
  13. I've been looking at rails for a few months now, started in Nov. 2012. I found one a few weeks back that I liked and the wife really liked it. The draw back for me was that it was located in Phoenix, AZ. Last Friday the wife and I took a road trip to Phoenix to check it out. It was better in person then the pictures we saw. We talked pricing with the seller and talked him down to a price that the wife and I liked and made the buy. Rented a U-Haul trailer and brought it back home to California. It was a 820 mile round trip in 1 day for this rail. Here are some of the specs that I can remember off the top of my head; It's a 2003 Tatum Dual Sport 5 seat, Subaru Turbo motor, Bus 091 w/ Weddle gears, Race Runner 2.0 Coil-overs and 2.5 Triple Bypass on all four corners, desert tires on it, front has 32X15 and the rears are 33X15 BFG's, Centerline wheels, digital dash, G-Force 4 point harness, Ron Davis radiator, Link Engine Management System, Wilwood brake system, disc all four corners Leaving Phoenix all loaded up At home in the garage I've found a few of these little lizards welded on the frame in various places. Does anyone know why or if Tatum did this?
  14. Damn! Sorry to hear about this. I live in the Antelope Valley. I'll keep an eye or two open for your stuff. Also, may want to think about Lake L.A. just Northeast of Littlerock. That place is a real craphole too.
