That made me fall out of my chair...

When I say we are the government, I mean, they are not a separate group that we should look towards for guidance. They are us. We have let them get out of control and we should not be putting more power in their hands. Do not look to them to control/change the market. Let the market find it’s own…

It’s called supply and demand. If you don’t like it, find another way to power your vehicle. It sounds harsh, but that is the way it is in our country, and personally, I like it that way. You whinny b*tches that call for the government to get more involved, must have a screw loose. One of the reasons we’re in the position we’re in is because the government is too involved already. If you don’t like the prices, find another way to do it. That is a benefit of supply and demand. The high prices will allow for others to propose alternatives (because there is money in it now) It isn’t going to happen over night and there will be some pain in the process for some, but eventually we will get tired of paying the high prices and demand an alternative. Or the prices will come down, because the market won’t want to loose our business. True, America is not alone in this market, so we have the pressures of other countries, and as a result, it will take more pressure from our country before changes are made. When I say pressure, I don’t mean from the government, I mean from the PEOPLE. The people are the government, something we have clearly forgotten. If you’re whining, make a change in your life or shut-up.

Yah, Dumont. The car ran great. Just tuning the suspension a little and back out to Buttercup for Thanksgiving!!!

Shout out to 84gibb and his group for a perfect weekend. Thanks for inviting my family into your group. You are a great bunch of people and we had a awesome time. Its cool people like you guys that make this sport good family fun. Thanks again for being there to pull my car back to camp when my shifter acted up. I’ll let you know the next time we are heading out there and we can hook up again for some great riding. Shannon

Thanks bud. I'll shoot you a PM. :beer_bang:

Pretty much… Just doing a little tweeking here and there…

Me and my family are going the weekend after. :beer_bang: Just worked out better because the kids had some time off school. Don't have a group to camp with, just going to wing it... Keep an eye out for me, i'll be doing the shackdown run in the new Silencer...

I’d like to see a picture of the car you’re talking about. I know some sit a little high, but I’ve never seen one 4’ off the ground…

Props to Baja Design…

IMO, 15” – 18” of travel with properly set up suspension is all you need in the sand. However, there is a trend to jack the front end off the ground and go without any droop. Some think it looks “cool”, I thing it looks ridiculous. I guess if all you do is launch over large jumps, or sit at the hill, all is good with lifted cars…

There is bad blood between them. I don’t personally know they guys at Dunebuggy.com, but I do know Justin and he is a straight up guy. Ask anyone that has one of his cars. Also ask other people with other cars, that he has helped out. There were some business dealings between the two that didn’t go well. Justin will be around for a long time and his cars are a work of art. One of the best suspension guys around… Always 2 sides...

Yah, I thought it might have been damaged while I was pulling it out or putting it in. Who knows…

I had to go and make mine special... I am getting 3 tube + 1 gold tube 2.5" for the fronts and 4 tube + 1 gold tube 3"for the rear. Justin at Revenge is placing the tubes where he has designed them for his car. Not sure if you're familiar with the gold tube, but it is a bleed tube, kind of like drilling a hole in the piston of the King shock. I like the idea of not having the bleed hole in the piston, that way you can utilize a very stiff shim stack for the bump stage and not loose anything out the small bleed hole. Guess I'll have to wait...

Sorry, I’ve been neglecting this thread. Here are a few pics of where I’m at. Engine is in and plumbed. Seats are in. Waiting on the axles, which should be here this week. Waiting on the shocks from FOX, which will not be here for another 2 weeks. A buddy of mine made this adaptor for me: After I put the engine in, I tried to turn it over and blow the back out of my intake manifold, on a back-fire. Waiting for a new one of those… Anyone ever have this happen?
