bp-guy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) I finially decided on a new car for me for next year. I have been talking to Dustin at AG for quite some time about this car and he made me a great deal on it. It is a used car (the owner went to a different frame and motor setup) all I needed to buy was 4 shocks and a mediola and it was sand ready again. But i wanted to add "my" touches to it as well. It will remain the same color "cranberry" but I am adding full panels to it and a dash. It will have the Lowrance 540c gps and full intercom with car to car communication. XM radio to cruise to as well. 4 hid light bar. The motor is a small V-8 that came with the car 4-litre GM out of a Buick. But I can change that to a Northstar anytime. It will have 18 inches of travel all around. I ran out of money before I could get to adding full by-passes on it but I can save for those for later as well as power steering. It should be ready for powdercoat by next friday. I will take my digital camera and get better pictures these are off my cell phone. On a personal note---If your thinking of getting a car, look into AG. Dustin always takes time to answer my questions and when I thought of stuff to add to my car he told me "you don't need that or its already on the car" very honest and straight forward guy to talk to.

bp-guy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) I just got back from the off road show at Barona. totally forgot the camera!!!!! There were ALOT of Rhino's there and side x sides. One was for sale at $37k!! All in all it was nice to look at but everything was top of the line that not your everyday duner could afford. I did manage to get my intercom system there and saved $100 bucks buying it there. It was also hard to look at the eyecandy there with the wife and 2 kids in tow!!! Here is the link to Glamisdunes.com they have some pics from the show.. www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=103872 Edited March 25, 2007 by bpguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqjnky Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 just a question from looking at the pics, was this car flipped on its lid by the previous owner? just asking because all the a/b/c pillars and roof bars are bare metal while the rest of the car is red...

bp-guy Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yes the car was in a minor roll last year by the previous owner. Dustin at AG cut out the bent cage (minor bends) and replaced the whole top section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 WOW, that little girl did a great job on the powder. How soon do you plan to have the car complete and in the dunes? Hopefully the car should be done in the next 2-3 weeks. I am in no real hurry to have it done, I just want it in my garage! My 4 year old in the picture can't wait for it to be ready! I am having those kiddie car seats for off-roading ordered also so no more carseat with tie-downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
