  6. Sounds like you're in a bind j/k
  7. Oh ya I forgot to add....from what i've heard ASR uses' some real crappy heims on their upper arms......If you get arms I'd go with quicksand....i've heard good stuff bouts them....plus I got a real anal friend taht just ordered a set....he wouldnt order em if he didnt thkn they were worthy.....oh ya but also cuz they were more in his price range.... dont cry matt if you read this:)
  8. Heim joints CAN BE stronger assuming you arnt using a dinky wink little heim. The term "heim" came from the company H.G. Heim that was granted the patents for the design. Heim joints date back to WWII. Germans used these rod ends on their planes. Heims started out being used on airplanes but soon became used in the power transmission industry. There are currently over 15 US companies that produce these types of rod ends. They range from stamped steel ends to stainless steel ones. The 17-4 PH stainless rod ends are prob the strongest of rod ends. If your links are going to see a lot of side load you'll want to avoid using a heim as this will wear them out quickly. Heims are less likely to bind up compared to ball joints which are limited to the amount they can move.. The whole thing about using heims and mounting them is very important. A heim mounted in double shear means that the heim joint has mounting material on both sides of it with a bolt passing through it all. The shear stress that passes through the heim joint then is passed onto the bolt. If the bolt is mounted in a double shear mount, then the stress goes through more than one point of the bolt. There is more than one plane for the force to go through. A single shear mount only has one plane for the force to be transfered through adn thus is weaker than a double shear mount of the same size. The double shear is stronger than a single shear BUT if you use a large enough bolt ia single shear mount shouldnt be a problem. With very little wear on a heim it is possible for it to pop out. where as the ball joint would have to wear a humongous hole for it to pop out...but would most likely break with a little play....uh...i think thats all for now....oh ya btw heims DO need to be maintained and checked more so than ball joints.....ball joints having a boot keeps them out of contact with the sand, dirt, blah blah blah that heims are more likely to see. I guess you could relate these two to an O-Ring chain vs. a Non O-Ring chain.... the non o-ring CAN last as long as an o-ring chain if maintained and lubed properly.....
  9. Have any of you guys here gotten TCS shocks from TCS directly? A buddy ordered a set and just received them. They were dinged up to hell and had lots of imperfections in the finish such as paint blemishes on the coils and chips...looked as if they had just been run over by a log skidder(and by no means am I exaggerating. Considering you are paying $700+ you would think it would arrive in perfect condtion....the packaging it arrived in was great....so I am assuming that the coils and shocks were already dinged and chipped prior to being shipped. I dont want you guys to think im ranting about nothing... My next question is.......what kind of shock body does TCS use. The body of the shock resembles my friends Fox to the "t". Any input would make me jump for joy. Thank ya'll for taking your time to read this extremely lengthy post. Here's a few pics of what these trampled shocks look like.

  14. http://www.bjsatvrentals.com http://www.AcademyRentals.com http://www.stevesatv.com/index.html http://motorsportrentals.com/cgi-bin/start...port/index.html http://www.sandandseatoyz.com/ The closest one to glamis would be Get'n Dirty but they do not have a website that I know of. They are actually in Brawley. From what I have heard from others this is the best place to rent from and their prices are probably the best of the ones listed... Here's their number 1-877-438-6938
  15. There are a couple places to rent atvs. But depending on where you are coming from I can help you better. Which side you coming from?
  16. I always liked the girls that work there..........especially the one w/ the aftermarket boobies:) I wouldnt mind giving her a port and polish
  17. I know what you mean... I don't like knowing I spend a sh!t load of money and don't have nothing to show for it. Matt must be one of the newer guys in the back and probably doesn't work the parts counter. If you want to talk to someone ask for Mike Stralo. He is a good guy and should set you up. Actually Matt isnt a new guy. He's been working there for a long time bro. Hmm...he's always seemed to me to be the only guy that knew what he was talking about around there...oh well shit happens
  18. Sorry to say but if anyone wants anything done it'll have to wait till after I return from vacation. I didnt realize my trip date was so soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you're still interested I'll be able to take on jobs starting the middle of July. Thanks.
