hey vp, do they have a web site we can check out?

[duraraptor]

Where is this place, is it in the valley.  Give us more info

[RTOYZ]

they are here in the valley and they are the ones that were at our off road show last year. DJ had posted some pictures of some of the cars they built. At this point they do not have a website, but I think it's in the plans.

[DuneJunkie]

ok, yea, I do remember their both and the rails they had at the show............

those were some pretty trick rides!

[hdrider]

Rob from Smith is a stand up guy. He built my rail and I am very happy with it

[BigAl74]

WOW.........thats a sweet looking rail. I would love to to get a rail, but I don't think the pocket book will let me.

[Towman]

Well like the old saying, "I wish I had his rail and he had one better, We both would be tickled"  God I love those rails. I see them here in Winchester Bay and I go down just to watch them.  I remember at the RV show last year he had some of his rails there. Wow, makes you drool.

[DuneJunkie]

one of these days when I win the lottery, I will have one of them!

[RTOYZ]

HD rider, Is your rail the one that was at the rv show last december?? It's Nice.  I want a ride at Dunefest.

[hdrider]

I didn't have it last year,, I had it built and got it about 3 months ago or so. But he did build another yellow car last year that looked a lot like this one. It had a V8 engine. I run the 2.5 liter Turbo subi. Around 330 HP. It's a LOT of fun and jumps great !

[duraraptor]

Ok thats it, I'm selling the wife's quad for the down payment......Wonder what else of her's I can sell....That is just toooo  cooool

[Dune Dude]

Pretty cool looking rail!

[BigAl74]

Thats what I'm thinking too. Let's see there's the quad, the suburban(she can walk to work right), and I'm sure theres more.............LOL. That is to cool. I think it would be fun to take the whole family out at once and ride together.

[hdrider]

 Thanks,,, LOL we did sell my better half's Suzuki 400 quad and put that money into the rail. I also ride a Raptor 660 and she just never felt comfotable on her quad. She was always going around the hills and I always waited on her, which was fine except I KNOW she loves to go fast. So I recomended we get rid of her quad and get a rail so she could get the rush with me.
 I'm happy we did, now she gets a big smile while catchin air and sinking into the seats under power. I got the 4 seater so we could also share the fun with friends.
 Her only request was that it had a smooth ride,, so with the 20" of travel on all four corners,, I made her happy !

[RTOYZ]

the one that was at the show was the v8 rail that was also yellow. I still want a ride in it if you go to dunefest. I will be there from Saturday the 29th-6th.

[hdrider]

Yep,, that V* rail was nice... if it's the same one. I had mine made to match it exceot the engine. I'm not sorry about that so far.
 We wil probably not be at Dune Fest... It is the back to the 50's weekend here in Grants Pass and we also enjoy that. And it's only once a year,, so. Plus we don't ussualy go to the dunes on busy weekend. I enjoy the less busy times much more. But maybe some other time we will run into eachother for that ride.

Here are the pics from the show last year.........

[Towman]

I remember those rails. I don't think that they make rails any better than those. I looked at the weld on them and I just wish that I could weld that good. What an awesom job they do.

I like that yellow one the best.

[duraraptor]

$$$$$$....$$$$, $$$$$$$?

[DuneJunkie]

$$$$$$....$$$$, $$$$$$$?

i think you might be close............but, it would be well worth it!

[RTOYZ]

you only live once. 

Speaking of that, Hey Duraraptor, how is the COWBELL thing with the wife going???

[duraraptor]

Not good, I just got cable and internet out in the driveway.  Next week she say's I can have water!!  If I am a good boy.JK

[hdrider]

 When I 1st saw those pic's I thought, WOW, how did they get pictures of my car !! Same color,, same lights,mirror, trunk, everything except the engine and I went with 4 race seats instead of the bench in the back.
 And yep...a few $$$$$ but like it was stated,, you only live once and a person may as well do it now while they have the money and health... may not be the story next week.
 I hope to NOT work much in a couple years and I know I will be pinching pennies a bit more at that point. But at least I will already have the toy's paid for 
 

[duraraptor]

It sure is a nice rail, I am jelous, but you are right.  Do it while you can. Two thumbs up

[chocks]

I went for a ride in that car(or one that looks exactly like it) last week at Dunefest..... I am sold, just need to find a way to afford it

[BigAl74]

That thing looks awesome!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid to ask but I have always wanted a rail and if I get one I love to have one like that.
So here it goes.........How much dose a rail like that run?

[hdrider]

 I can't see the engine or tranny in the blue one but lets just say with a subi and a mendi tranny, power assist steering & a few other goodies..... close to $40K

[RTOYZ]

And I thought quads were expensive. 

[hdrider]

 Rob was building one right before mine that went out the door at well over $60K with heated seats and V8 engine with a tranny that cost $6000 alone !! And that's not even high priced compared to a lot of rails on the sand.
 I puckered a bit when I bought mine but like I said in an earlier post.... do it while ya can. I just wish that I lived closer to the sand so I could use it more than 1 or 2 times a month.

Subi motor, trans was built by Marks sand trans. 


40K is just a little on the steep side for me

[BigAl74]

Yea I think they are a little out of my price range. Plus how the heck would I get it and the trailer full of quads over to the dunes. But they sure look cool. I would just like to ride in one someday. But after I did I'd probably just won't one even more.

[smithsandcars]

Hi, just thought I would let everybody know that we build several different styles of sandrails. every thing from a std. frame with v.w. suspension to the long travel stuff. We also sell bare frames and all the parts separately, so you can put one together youreself and save allot. We have also just built a few of the mid travel cars. Which still have fox shocks and a smooth ride but allot cheaper than the full long travel. Any questions feel free to call the shop at 541-826-5986. Thanks, Rob

[RTOYZ]

Hey Rob, Nice to see ya on here. Don't you also do some Custom Fabricating for quads?
Pat

[smithsandcars]

Yeah, Ive been building 2+1 a arms and extended swing arms for banshees for awhile now. I have also built a arms for 250r,blaster and  the suzuki 400. By the way pat I need to see when I can meet up with you and get my teeshirt.
