Desert Toyz Racing Commander build

[Desert Toyz Cory S]

Desert Toyz Sappington Racing Commander 1000 build starts today. Only 19 days till the Best In The Desert series, Parker 250. Like Smokey and the Bandit said, I got a long ways to go and a short time to get there!

I will post am and pm pics each day as my build progresses. I will be doing all the design and fabrication and my crew will assist with disassembly and assembly. My team will be racing the Best In The Desert Series, Baja 500 and Baja 1000 and will be on display at all the Lucas Oil Off Road races at the Maxxis Tires semi. I also still have my old race <ACRONYM title="Utility Terrain Vehicle">UTV</ACRONYM> for sale, own a piece of <ACRONYM title="Utility Terrain Vehicle">UTV</ACRONYM> race history for $16500.00 race ready.
Thank you to my current sponsors for their continued support; Maxxis tires, <ACRONYM title="Utility Terrain Vehicle">UTV</ACRONYM> Off Road Magazine, OMF Wheels, Elka Suspension, PCI Radios, Lucas Oil, Web Cam and Can-Am. I am still looking for a title sponsor

Day 1 am pic Crew ready to start.

I have lots of brand new stock parts for sale, just about everything that has been removed is for sale. Disassemble is not too bad, the pop rivets are a bit of a hassle. Ca-Am sure did a great job designing the Commander.

I can't wait to see a commander with a different look. Good luck on the 2011 race year!

Thanks for posting Cory when is your first race with the new rig?? Parker???

 

[Desert Toyz Cory S]

Finished the disassembly at 10 pm. The frame goes to The Stripping Shop for sand blasting at 7 am. I will have it back at noon and the fabrication fun begins.

 

[JoeyD23]

Thanks for the updates. You are not messing around here!

Thats the first Commander i have seen stripped to the frame so far. That would make me nervous as hell... I'd never get it back together.

 

[Ali Baba]

You haven't even taken it out and it's all ready in pieces.... Lol! I hope you took lots of pictures on how to put it all back together. Good luck with the build. I'll be looking back to see how it progresses.

Great build thread. I am excited to see how the lines end up with the roll cage mounting forward of the dash through the fender. I think it allows a great rake on the windshield making them look mean. How long will the build take? When do you plan to have it race ready?
