I was just gonna give fabr shit for a pic he posted on another thread...I got to thinking it's been a year since I was down to visit...Her's some pix of the last visit...when we went to syrahole
-
Luke from forcetek sand cars...and where Specinator's buggy spent the week...on the trailer...effen CDI box...
-
So I fired up Crappy brown Jeep and went trail riden'
300,000 miles and we had to get home somehow...Prolly not the smartest thing to do...
-
But what the hell...I got a funny story about that week end...
-
Friday night masterfabr and I were tooling around looking for Luke...I had a few beers in me...the place was deserted...we were the only ones out there, besides Luke...The next day I'm thinking to myself man I really gotta push hard on the gas today to get up the dunes and hills that I just rolled up last night...
-
It was just bugging me for about an hour...Till Gail...Miss's fabr stopped on the crest of a pretty good sand hill...
-
When we went to go I was on the upslope, If your not familliar with sand you never stop going uphill :o
So I sank the Crappy brown Jeep...
-
Madder den fuuck
I pile out to see why I'm stuck and see only the rears are dug in...Getting back into the jeep I notice that the 4 wheel drive light isnt on ::)
-
MMMMM
Gleason torson diffs...gotta love em'
-
So I pull the lever into 4WD...and drive right out...
-
Even Fabr's dogs were sayin' God SPEC YOUR A DIPSHIT
-
Specinator was just shakin' her head...
-
All in all the trip was a fuuckin disaster...If those dipshits in Syrahole had a clue what they have and how to promote it...Instead of shitty crappers, Roach trap hotel....
-
And horseshit food in town...I almost forgot the bbq fag...I got a funny for that too ...I got the burger at their ''big BBQ'' thought it tasted shitty so I tossed it in crappy brown jeep when I got home I fed it the my nabes dog...Stook a bite of it...LICKED HER ASS AND GROWLED AT ME...She must have thought it tasted like shit too :c
-
Guess what spec, if things work out right, this spring Enemy and dsrace from mbn and I will meet up at Syracuse for an update this spring.I HOPE they have improved but.........anyway I met up with those guys at LS this weekend and they want to check it out so WTH. dsrace builds a nice car for sure.Enemy drives it like he stole the thing!
-
Are you going to have your trailer done? Or are you going to stay at the roach pit hotel? Again?
I know what it is YOU WANNA POOP IN THE TINCAN
After the wonderful food we had there last year...Meybe I should crank up the truck and come down just too cook for you guys ;D
-
Looks like it will be in May. LOL! Yeah we could use some good food. Without exaggerating I can say the food at anyplace in Syracuse was not too good. Trailer will be done so I don't have to stay in the "luxurious" motel either. HOPEFULLY the buggy will be ready also.If not I'll just quad around some more. Enemy and DS race are great guys.
-
Ya know if I get the woodgas truck finished, I might just load up the smoker and come too, But I'd sleep in a culvert under a road before the roach trap...and eat dinkydog out of a can before spending a dime in that town...You gonna pay the town to park on state land?

masterfabr, thanks. I am looking forward to checking out Syracuse even after all I have read, but it was still funny to read I too have been a few towns like that. I don't know if you guy were there before or after they opened the new showers and toilets earlier this year but they don't look like the worst in the pics on there web site. I hope a bunch of you guys can make it, the more rails the better. I will have to remember to bring a bottle of JACK this time before I head into another dry town like Alva O.K. I am going to try and post a few short videos from our trip last weekend. they have become a little grainy after reformatting to photo bucket but still interesting. the yellow rail is enemy and the raw v-6 rail is mine.

I forgot to meantion , enemy took my wife for a ride and jumped his rail. you can hear her scream in the video.
-
Great vids.When I get the buggy done I've got a 4 camera digital in car vid system to test out.Soooooo no matter if you're in front ,back or sides I'll get you on it!

we will sure help you test the camera out.
did you see or know the drunk guy that ran his rhino or razor ( same thing phone booth on wheels ) into the pickup and then went for a ride with deputy dan?
-
No I missed that.Did you see my nephew and buddy ride through the campgrounds on their quads like a couple of drunken cowboys wearing nothing but my wife and her friends g strings? They're lucky they didn't take a ride with deputy dawg!

Come to think of it I'll likely point one at the passenger. :m

Sad to report that I DID see that.....my eyes are still bleeding........Oh the horror!!! Funny as hell though!LOL
-
If I get up from the shop in time I'll post a short and poorly done (by wife) vid so others can go blind also!LOL!
-
I'm with enemy on this one. one of them got so close as he rode by even with my whiskey goggles on and in the dark, my eyes were burned lol!

:m :m :m :m dd: dd:

here is a link to some youtube footage of a couple of my rails.

after what I read about your guys first trip to Syracuse, is there a local hospital or just a Mobile vet clinic? Oh I do like the spell check feature, I hope others make good use of it. ;)
-
here is a clip from some older footage at LS. I get a big rush out of riding the ridges.

Welcome DSrace,
I heard you build a hell of a car...
Welcome Enemy,
I hear you drive it like you stole it...
Syrahole has some awesome trails, they say 50 -50 dunes and sage...More like 25 dunes and 75 sage...The best part of the trip was when Luke almost had the top off our Big knockered waitress, posing on his rail... :o even the specinator was amused...But then again I amuse her ;D
If you are self contained 100% it prolly wouldn't be a bad place to go...but the IDIOTS running the place are crooked asswipes...
-

thanks spec :)
enemy can definitely drive, and he did help build part of that rail with me. his rail is a prototype of my new design and enemy was willing to be the guinipig. we have had to make 3 changes before he powdercoated but it's right on the money now. ;D
my trailer has everything but a bathroom, but I did see that they have new toilets and shower up and running on there web site. are these the same as when you went down?
-
DS,
the bathrooms are new since I was there and that was part of the problem....the portapotties had all been tipped...every night we were there...No body bothered to clean them up...shit running down the wall, Every time Specinator had to pee we had to load up and drive back to town to the roach trap...I really didn't have anything against the local business's, the people were nice...except the hotel broad, with the effen dog that was humping my leg...And the effen IDIOTS on the park board, I'm sure Fabr told you how that went down...C'MON DOWN...INVEST A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.... oh wait you mean you want to make a living off of that investment? ? ? Get bent asshole ... and thanks for the free business plan 9:

Thanks for the welcome Spec! After looking over the pictures you posted of your experience down there, I am really looking forward to this trip. The place looks like it has some real potential...and HOPEFULLY we can run into the waitress....we'll get the pics of those 1:!! Maybe even a few pics of her 1: while her 1: is 1: a really big 1: after using a 1: to 1: !! That would be soooooo coool.......I think I will bring my own shitter though!

I dunno about the mobile vet clinic...But the mobile BBQ KING ...
I think they have a hospital...and the witch doctor will prolly rub cow urine on your wounds...
As for the spell check button...It doesn't fit in my vocabulary...I studied ebonix
-
Hey you said ALVA..... That's where they stole specinator's Jammies last ime we were down to LS...I wonder if that goat is still happy with them...Oklahoma where the men are man and the GOATS ARE USED TO IT :u mm: 8:

Ya summpin lioke thayt
-
Much better duning at LS than Syracuse. I'm willing to meet up with you guys at Syracuse for a DAY but I'll be going back to LS for the next day or 2. More than 1 day @ Syracuse IMO will be boring as hell.
-
the camp grounds might be more fun with a little Jack D or sailor jerry's. have you ever been to wyoming, I think it's called killpecker?
-
Better fill the tires with foam, or slime in the pull rig, for Syrahole...Last time I was there they allowed bonfiresw in the parkinglot...Whats the best fire starter...
Palletts...What are palletts full of.....
NAILS

Yeah I drove all the way there and a fricken whiteout blizzard came up.I never got to see a damn thing! About a 14 hour drive to see SNOW ! Have you ridden there? I think I'd like it a lot from what I hear. Real primitive tho I think.From what I remember there's only a few thousand visitors a year. What is it about 50,000 acres?

I dug the PDF up a while back.. 11,500 acres that you can ride on out of about 30,000 acres, FAST dunes, Lots of razorbacks in the summer, No crowds, No fees, 12 miles from a pretty nice town... Hell yea! When are we going!
This is also a good read with pics on it.http://www.dunereview.com/rocksprings.htm (http://www.dunereview.com/rocksprings.htm) Alot of folks comment that there are no big dunes there, but from pics I have seen, they look pretty damn big to me!! ;D That SUCKS you didn't get to see the place fabr..Stupid snow...

I've been trying to get some of my group to go.After I get a buggy together and tested out I'm game.

Have you started a new buggy yet?
-
I started the new buggy before the fire. .About to get shop addy finished so I can concentrate on finishing trailer for a couple months and then finish buggy by mid spring. Business has been very good lately and that has slowed me down. This is where I'm at now with the buggy.

There isnt a project log, nor was there one at the other site, He is very secretive... 3:
-
Do as I say,not as I do! :-[ gg: I'll try to do better from now on. :)
-
Oh, I thought that was a pic of the BarBQue buggy. The pic was on MBN.
But this is a two seater. The other was a single right? There were very few pics of that one too.

He didnt like sharing the shaggy dog photos...

Lol, poor buggy.
-
Bugoshi strikes again!LOL!!!

This is BBQ buggy

I have a tear.....I swear.........man that sucks....
-
It's just incentive to do more.
-
Any pics before it met it's fate?
-
Ass shot and a few pieces I made.
-
Very Nice!
Very sad ending though. :-[
-
i like this better.
-
How long can you idle without burning holes in the tires? :P
-
Forever.You'd be amazed how cool the exhaust is on these things.I can put my hand not 6" from the collector and not be uncomfortable.At 180 it gets plenty of cooling airflow!
-
Alcohol, nitromethane, or gas? I figured it was gas, but I am probably wrong. I think that the exhaust temps on alky are lower??
-
gas
-
Masterfab has plenty of that.
;D ;D
-
This is BBQ buggy
That is NOT how you normalize a frame.
-
Masterfab has plenty of that.
;D ;D
That would be HOT AIR my friend. ;D
-
That is NOT how you normalize a frame.
I dunno,it worked pretty well.
-
Ya I got depressed walking the ditches looking for some peices of the tire that caused it...
I even got a chunk of the aluminum that was burned into the road as a memorial...
-
I got depressed when the tire company that as all for fixing trailer damages UNTIL they heard the figure $80,000. Then it was "OH!, you need to speak with our legal department".
-
Dirty Bastards
-
My complaint is with the AGENT that literally blew smoke up my ass.
-
Mastr, I don't know the whole story, but I know the industry. If you have questions, send me a PM, might not like my answers, but at least they wont be bs and I might be able to give you the work arounds / next steps if you are so inclined.
I have been know to draft a well worded letter or two that has gotten the ball rolling for friends at various times.

enemy I just saw these pics, I AM IN EVEN IF I HAVE TO QUIT MY DAY JOB lol.
I know dunebound69 will go to, even if I have to drag him kickin ;D plus I may need someone to tow me back especially if I'm trying to keep up with you.
masterfab that was a sad day indeed.

Thanks for the offer but I've talked to so many lawyers and people in the ins world that I lost count.I get the same answer everytime.It was my stupidity for trusting an agent that steered me wrong. It will all boil down to my word against his and when it hits court it'll boil down to who would have the most to gain from lying about the facts. Well of course that's me. So I'll lose.
