DD/ buggy works chassis that 3D sandcars added to it and finished the car. I’m not sure where they were out of. Don’t think they’re in business anymore.
We loaded the frame and trans into the bed of my truck, and off I went!I wouldn’t mind buying a pan and body then swapping all my buggy stuff to one of these. Might fit me better these days.
Your car has been a dream car of mine since I first saw it at the SSSS! In my opinion it doesn’t get nicer! One day I’ll one in my garage!ALUMICRAFT
So nice. I really like the Alumicraft cars.ALUMICRAFT
beautiful! one day, when I grow up... I want an alumicraft carALUMICRAFT
Yup Scott would be the one I would go with. Makes a great body and also does a great job repairing toy hauler water tanks the right way.
She had a similar car before this new one correct? I remember seeing a pink Funco last year

Get a well built 4 seat SxS on the aftermarket. SxS are way more versatile than a pre-runner. Shit the new ProR 4 seaters are basically the same size as a pre-runner. They are massive compared to say an XP4. I would prefer a SxS over my prerunner car (only 2 seater) everywhere except Glamis or on a long range trip down Baja (pipe dream). Even in Glamis, the only reason I bought a big car is that is what everyone in my group had and I was pushing the limits of safety trying to keep up with them in a non-turbo XP1k back in 2016. I had a ton of fun in the SxS driving with other SxS's, but the big car is on a whole nother level of fun in the sand..
This is kind of my point, when a Pro-R 4 is the same size and same $ as a 4 seat dual sport car that has twice as many cylinders, coilover and bypass on each corner and 37" tires, why not just get the dual sport car?
It all depends on how you want to use it. IMO, the only downside to SxS's at this point in the game is the financial depreciation. The technology is ever changing so the "old" models depreciate pretty quick, and you get dimes for dollar returns on aftermarket add ons. On the flip side, the big V8 desert car industry is pretty stagnant, save for the very high end high dollar builds which are either flat out race cars or "show cars" for the sand scene. If you buy a big car, the only choice for a pre-runner is an Alumicraft. They hold their value very well.

All those cars are 2x the cost of a well setup nice used 4 seater CanAm or Turbo S. Hell, a nice used low mile ProR is probably $20k cheaper than them all….I'm certainly not in a position to buy right now, just endlessly like to plan toy purchases in the future. The below are cars that have caught my eye that seem to be what I would consider.

I always jump at the chance to encourage anyone to add more power to their cars.
I must say, the abuse that the S4/5D units can handle is impressive! When you factor in the cost and hassle to keep limping along a 2d or even an S4 unit and rebuilding it every couple of years, its a no brainer to just buy once and cry once. My boss hammers his S4D in a ~3200lb car with 35.5 #2 cuts and a 4.0 whippled 440 built by Redline. He's been through it twice in 8 years and its just bearings that need replacing but has replaced 2nd & 3rd gears both times "just because". No issues at all with the R&P, which is baffling to me. The upgrades your team did to the shifting makes them great and the only choice IMO for the cost/value. I'm extremely happy I went big when it was time to upgrade (McDowell built S5D).
The black top/red body looks bad ass! What did you do to black out the shocks? (I'm looking to do the same with mine)
Thanks. I had them cerakoted. I used Brad from Breal in the Riverside area but he is mobile so it was nice to keep my car while the shocks went through the process. He installs some bars in place of the shocks so I could still move the car around.
Thanks, your buggy turned out bitchin!
This one is pretty decent. It’s a beam car but looks to be put together pretty well.
