  1. We will be there with the sand rail and the new jeep buggy :) Leaving Fri morning! WOOOT!!!

    I cant wait to try some beefy boys BBQ!

    Also wanted to add..... since I always break my sh*t I bought a portable welder so if anyone needs a weld ill have the ability to do so LOL

  2. Sounds awesome guys! I finally got my rotary running good and it is all ready to go now. Wiks built the carb and I had it tuned today. I found a couple fuel line fittings that were too small as well and replaced those. Running MUCH better now. Let me know when you guys are all going again and ill be there.

    MLK day is Jan 20th, what days will you be going Bert?

    Pete how long of a break are you taking? If you need anything let me know.

  3. As many of you know I broke my car last day of the buggy round up, I got it all fixed and even added gussets to make it stronger. One of my good friends does all my fab and he has a VERY long history in the off road business. I thought I would share some of his work and show you what he does. The first few pics are of my car he fixed up and then ill share some pics of a buggy he is building for a customer. Hope to make it to Dumont Dec 26 or 27th till the 29th! Trying like crazy! If not ill be out the 2nd-5th of Jan.

    We removed the side steps, they didn't provide any support and they were just added weight.

    Gussets were added on both sides and inside.

    The bar that ripped apart was removed and replaced with chromoly, it also received a chromoly sleeve all the way through the bar to the other side. More gussets and tabs were added to both sides as well. New inner and outer CVs were installed plus new boots.

    This summer we are going to build new A arms with new spindles. The new set up will give me a wider stance and a couple inches of more travel. Not to mention a hell of a lot stronger!

    We are already planning on cutting the entire back end off my car and building a new back end making it all fit around my new motor and trans set up. Next season i will be running triple by-pass shocks, chromoly tubing, new Arms, new everything. Im excited for the build and for next season. Here are some pics of his work on a buggy he is building right now, some of the best meticulous work I have ever seen. Everything is engineered with a purpose behind it. When we do my build I will do a post about it and share pics and info. Enjoy the pics, every part of this car he built rom scratch and every inch is tig welded..
