I think bike tech is more about the helmet and basic safety gear than the bike, but honestly, not being a bike guy, I don't know for sure. I'll look into it and report back. And Carl, thanks for the PM, I'll get on that too!

I hated my traction bar on the drivers side, and would strongly recommend finding another solution. The torque lift was annoying on the street, and could get downright scary off road in low range. There was more than one off camber obstacle that, when combined with the torque lift, made my...

The hardest thing for most to learn seems to be the value of knowing when to slow down. Everyone single race winner in history shares one thing, they finished the race. Make finishing your goal and you'll likely be surprised how well you do. What kind of rig are you guys looking at racing...

Just got word back, yes all payouts have been received by past winners, and things will only continue to improve. If anyone does have any issues we aren't aware of please let us know so we can fix them. Hope to see some new faces at the race!

As far as I know, BOR is caught up on payouts and awards, BUT I'm checking with the owner right now so I can be sure. I know there were some delay issues as the new BOR leadership went through the learning curve of how to run this thing, but I believe everything is running smoothly now. If...

As always, it's free to come and watch, and we have plenty of open spots for anyone that wants to try their hand at going fast!

I've set up a few 60 gear sets that were crush sleeve, they were reverse spiral (high pinion) 4.88's from Randy's. They were the only ones I've ever seen, but there are a few sets floating around out there. I ended up making some precision ground spacers for them and set them up with shims...

Thank you for more clarifying my point more eloquently than I am capable of. Not trying to stir up more s#!t, but I have to say that just because someone is a certified inspector, they aren't necessarily the absolute authority on the subject. Attending a 2 hour class and passing a test with...

Put a roof over your head by creating innovative off road products and you may suddenly feel differently. Most off road products don't have enough sales volume to maintain profitability after paying for a patent. So most parts are released without being patented, and legally, anyone can...

Guys, quit asking your buddy and read the law for yourself. It's right ^ there at the top of this post. Pay special attention to the bold section. It doesn't say it can't be modified, just that the modifications must be safe. If you do a quality job setting up your full hydro system, using...

Ballistic is lame. I refuse to do business with companies who's strategy is merely to copy original parts from innovative companies (like Summit Machine, Blue Torch, etc.), and try to undercut the real innovators in our sport. It especially bothers me when they don't even bother trying to hide...

Nothing in the steering section says hydro is illegal: SECTION 3 - STEERING The steering system must be inspected to determine if excessive wear and/or maladjustment of the linkage and/or steering gear exist. Vehicle must be on a smooth, dry, level surface. On vehicles equipped with power...

That thing is gonna laugh at sawzall blades. Also, cutting it off under the boot wont get you anywhere, you'll still have to remove the nut because it's a tapered seat, not a straight shank. If you absolutely cannot budge the nut after generous soaking with PB blaster and maybe even a little...

Remember too that a prop valve only limits the amount of pressure that makes it to the axle. So if your rears aren't locking now, the valve won't help (unless your factory valve is really the issue, either way ditch the stock one).

In a pinch you can always pull on an axle housing too. Just do it in a smart place, for some reason most people don't realize that it's pretty easy to bend an axle housing, even on bigger axles.

My reasoning for liking low, more "neutral", AS numbers is due to the inconsistency of traction in our world. Any AS # other than 0% is taking drive torque and moving the suspension with it. Shoving the chassis up (with a higher AS #) will cause a momentary increase in tractive force on the...

I'm lovin' it KyleForce!

Damn that's a good lookin' truck! Yeah, looks like you can't go any lower. Well even still, dropping the lower link frame mounts 2.25" lower would greatly improve your AS to 46%, and bring your roll axis down to 6*. I would feel ok about that AS, but anything you can do to bring the roll...

There is a healthy bounty available on pirate if anyone can actually show proof of a law prohibiting hydraulic steering. Nobody has ever claimed it. Brakes have stipulations requiring hydraulic service brakes and a mechanical P-brake, but nobody has EVER shown proof of hydro steering being...
