BADASS!!!! My next step is into a 10 car. Just have to sit down and pencil it out and make sure we can make enough races to make worth it... And have enough help/support. Hard to get a team of guys to go out consistently and watch me have fun, hahaha
id like to start helping a team but its a commitment for sure.

My wife’s Talon which has created a bunch of great memories to share with her.
I will always be about bikes, it’s almost a religious experience for me. I’m happy to share it with family and friends. I was telling a story on a trail about a friend who doesn’t and one of my buddies says “you have friends who don’t ride?”. I laughed and realized my best friends are the ones I ride with, it’s always been that way.

We are so ready for glamis… not. Fiancé decided he wanted to rewire everything from the previous owner. Still waiting on the new wiring lol. He was only suppose to put in the new seats and new light bars.

Steve at bfd fabrication built the cage, 095 DOM with aluminum roof

Right on, looks good, didn't run across BFD when I was looking for a cage for mine...I put a deposit on a cage that I was told had a 4 week lead-time, today is 3 weeks since the deposit so hopefully we are getting close

It's hard to justify owning something like this that I use so little, but every time I drive it, I am reminded why. The satisfaction and feeling of the flow from a fast dune ride is something I have never matched with any other machine.

Alumicraft? Nice car!
Yes, and thank you. Its been a slow progression of upgrades since I bought it (first two photos). Now outfitted with a stroked LS3, S5D, and upgraded shock package with 3.5's in the rear and 3.0's up front. I think the only moving components I havent replaced are the steering components, everything else is new since I bought it. Minor upgrades to front & rear of chassis were done for a more modern look, but all body panels are original. Been waffling about doing a rolled roof, but probably just do some new tin up top, maybe with a subtle scoop to get more air to the radiator when the windshield is on.

I probably sound like a guy who can't afford boost, but I prefer the NA motor as I feel I can drive the car much harder in the dunes. Everyone else in our group is supercharged and they are constantly off the throttle due to too much torque lifting front and losing ability to steer the car. The last photo is evidence that I really don't need any boost!! (pay no attention to the extreme performance car in the background who obviously jumped the line)

Lol, well to be fair my cage was 3 months late. I ended up with BFD due to them being close and I like the radius roof. Steve was good to work with he was just having issues with suppliers like everybody else. He added the dimple die gussets on the b and c pillars at no charge and cut be a deal on the powdercoat

Do they have a website I don’t do Instagram
Here’s another option for some shade. I haven’t tried it out yet, but have seen them in havasu and glamis.
