  1. These are pics from my house in mexico. this one is from the frount porch this one is from the beach looking at the houses these where in last November for the Baja 1000 race we go watch it south of San Felipe all are welcome to come and park there rv on the back of the place. can venture out in the Baja in your own car.
  2. congrat on the new trailer. watch out on turns with the short bed truck that the trailer does not hit it! If the truck does't have air bags under it you might want to do it. make a check list for hooking up it makes a bad dent on the bed of the truck if it is not pind or the landing gear is not down when your huban pulls out from under it and it falls on the truck. good luck

  9. yes the altitude will afect a diesel. the higher you go the less air it will get and with about 22 to 1 compression it wants air. so it will smoke more and have less power.
  10. long bed is the only way to go. short bed tailgate has to stay down to hual anything long bed better ride pull better less push with a 5th wheel
  11. the shocks look like thay are single rate? If they are duel rate the limiting nut need to be set so that the top spring move only a few inches and the bottom spring come in after that. what motor is in it and how much does the car weigh. My car weighs 2300 lbs and I run a 450 on top and a 500 on the bottom the limiting nuts on the shocks only let the top spring move three inches before the bottom comes in. There is a very good artical on how to set up shops on Glamis dunes .com by revenge racing it help dial them in faster.

  19. Looks like the frame did its job. He did not get badly hurt and no deaths hurt pride and a sevely hurt wallet.
  20. do tell where shaker hill is :jester:
  21. if you are looking to get started with a rail than you need to find the type frame that you like and than start shopping . long travel = big bucks a mid or standerd travel car is a very good way to grt in and see if you want to spend the money to step up. you should be able to get a car for lees than 10 grand to see if you realy like the expense of a car. I started with a standerd travel car with a corvair in it and than built a rear engine v8 and now it is a midengine v8 with a th350 and a 9in ford rear to handle the power. what ever up decide to get strart off slow and build up to the big jumps and geting crazy in the sand better to be safe than sorry.
