TrailReady Racing Wheel launches new 20″ HD Series Wheel

By RockCrawler.com · Comments (0)
Thursday, July 29th, 2010

23 TrailReady Racing Wheel launches new 20 HD Series WheelTrailReady is pleased to announce the development of a new addition to the HD Series.  Our new 20×9 will begin shipping in September.  The new part will be available for applications from 5-4.5 to 8-6.5 and will come in backspace measurements from 4.5″ to 5.5″.  MSRP is expected to be 450.00 and like all of our HD Series wheels, will include the one year unlimited replacement warranty.  We will begin taking orders for the first run of this heavy duty domestically cast and machined wheel in August 2010.  BFGoodrich has introduced a new line of 42″ Krawlers and Projects for a 20″ wheel and while this wheel will also be available as a DOT simulated wheel, we belive this will be the first 20″ beadlocked racing wheel to market that will handle that size tire in an offroad racing environment. The wheel is undergoing destructive testing and we will have pictures in next months newsletter.

It’s amazing to see all the new beadlock wheel brands popping up in this economy and we’ve seen several come and go, but as of today, TrailReady remains the only US made cast racing wheel available. Adding a 20″ model is a long time coming and we hope that its success will help launch us into a line of racing buggy wheels.

Sincerely,
“el hombre de la rueda”

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Rigid Industries 30 LED Light Bar Lighting on any rig is important, for safety and visibility.  Seeing the trail ahead when rock crawling or watching the trail ahead when desert running requires a product that will withstand a great deal of abuse and offer both spot and flood capabilities.   The 30″ Rigid “E” Series Light Bar met all of these requirements…shockproof, combination spot/flood and low power draw.  By using the ATR Dash Brace, the Rigid LED mounts safely below the roofline and away from the front bumper, minimizing glare and potential damage….when you choose a light of this quality, you want it protected!

2010 07 VORRA 300x199 Chris Ridgway Misses Win by 34 Seconds at VORRA Desert RaceHe Prepares for 2010 X-Games as Reigning Gold Medalist

APPLE VALLEY, CA – July 21, 2010:  Chris Ridgway participated in last weekends VORRA (Valley Off Road Racing Association) Fallon 250 desert race in the Trent Fab buggy and placed 2nd by a mere 34 seconds.  “It was a fast course, and we had no issues until the last lap when we got a flat.  When we got out to change it, we had lost the tool kit that had the lug wrench in it!  We jumped back in and had to run 20 miles on the Raceline Wheel to the next pit where one of our competitor’s pit crews changed it for us,” said Ridgway.  “While in the pits, we got passed for the lead and had to drive the last 10 miles at warp speed, but it wasn’t enough.” Read More→
