Pit Trike Build Part 4: Gas Tank, Chain, Brakes, And Testing In The Snow!!!

Here is the latest episode in the pit trike build, so watch, laugh, and enjoy cause this thing is fun.

If you missed any of the previous videos, use the link below to watch.

Having a pit vehicle at a race is a must-have nowadays. Sometimes that is the way you are required to get the car to and from the racetrack, but other times it is just so that you can get around easier in the pits and such. After all, a lot of the race tracks we go to nowadays are huge, and walking around might be fine if you are just spectating, but not if you actually have racing to do. So when we saw this cool little project going together for Sick Week we had to share it. And don’t for a second think this is some ultra trick build, this is a fun style project going together in the garage and while there is a bender involved that’s really the only fancy tool and you could build yourself the same basic thing without one, with a cheap roll bender from Harbor Freight, or by having a friend with a bender make you up some bends.

I have a fun mini bike that I like to bring to races, and it’s cool but because it is two-wheeled it is hard to shoot photos and such while cruising around on it. With a trike, that becomes much easier, so I think this might have to be a project to put on the list of things to do when we get the new shop up and running. It could be a fun weekend project to share with everyone.

Until then, watch this build from Boosted Lifestyle and let us know what you think. This is video number one and we’ll bring you more as it progresses!

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
