If thats what you consider a "Budget" pre-runner, can I have the change in the ashtray!
Looks great!

[jonnyslick]

^ ditto ... hahaha

[punchdrunk monkey]

The only budget I see is not running a C/O and bypass. Who built the chassis?

[EL YOGI]

how much was in your budget? builder? looks awesome!

[desertgoin]

Budget meaning under 50k unlike most prerunners. Builder East County Offroad. B/P shocks will be added soon.

[djhspawn]

nice, do they have 30 year financing so I can pick one up???

[baja619]

Damn, not exactly in my budget either.

There sure as hell aint nothing like a purpose-built prerunner dual sport

[miguelitro]

I thought a "budget" prerunner was renting acouple suburbans from enterprise and paying full insurance LOL

[jowoog]

alsome looking rides , the budget parts are the bfg ats , lol.

[DEZDAD1]

What kind of motor is that????

[GRT1904]

Looks Great!!!

Edit: I was gonna ask the same question. "What kind of engine?"

[luckyride]

I thought that I used the most budget prerunner (a rental car) but maybe I have been outdone lol:D

[desertgoin]

Engine is a honda 2.4 v-tec about 190hp p.s sorry i put budget should have just wrote new dual sport prerunner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lloyd Co-Dawg]

I like the fact its a small cc motor so you can prerun on reg gas and cost a fortune!

Thanks for posting!!!

good one. i wish i could consider $50,000 low budget. but to some desert races, that is chump change

[jonnyslick]

seriouslly ... have people used rentals to pre run a race or were you guys joking? LOL :D

[ACME]

I know a CL1 driver who rented an SUV for Parker, that's why you get such a good deal on used rentals...

[sigmatero]

Not that I've ever taken a rental offroad :) but a tip is to take off all the underbody sheetmetal first.

I had a buddy prerun a rental Infinity Q45 for the SNORE Gold Coast 250 a couple years ago. Nice prerunner by the way!!

[jjordan]

Yea i have prerun the old frontier 250 in a rental f150...worked out pretty good

[J.JOHNSON]

HAd to use the insurance one time for a totaled one at a place I worked. And returned afew with a lot of JB weld on the diffs, trans pan, transfer case, etc. Fun times

Funny, I know who you know...and I remember that I believe it was an FX45.

Crazy to think 50k isnt bad anymore, but in the grand scale of it all it really isnt

I ran into a guy broken down in a rental Bronco in Sandy Valley at the 1986 Frontier 500.

It wasn’t funny until he told me he was on his third copy…

I will never forget that!

[#1PatDeanFan]

Right on! That thing looks sweet!

I pre-ran last years 1000 in a rental Jeep. Worked great, but the fuel tank in the rear had about 2 more inches of ground clearance when we returned thanks to San Felipe. I also had to replace a couple tires. Depending on how often you pre-run, $50,000 may be a good deal..

[rusco]

Who is the chassis builder of this Budget car?

[desertgoin]

builder : EASTCOUNTY OFFROAD CENTER

Nowhere does it say it is a LOW buget prerunner.

I wish I had the budget to build that prerunner!!!

Looks great!

lol: If 200mph gets the ashtray can I take a peek between the couch cushions or bottom of the washer/dryer?

Looks good, you should contact one of the mags and do a write up on it. In this day n age <$50m for a very capable pre-runner would make good reading.

btw: I'm in the market for a budget prerunner/daily driver if anyone spots a good deal. A Caplains budget is <$10m.

Your are correct, FX45 it was... Man that made for a nice prerun after being at the Ladies Club till 5am

[Eal_Ranger]

i think there should be a rental car class in the next MDR or Score race i got an escalade on hold from enterprise........

[maxyedor]

Hyundai Sonatas make the best pre-runners. I have "tested" several different rental-cars and the Hyundai is the most stable in the air and seems to soak up whoops well due to the chassis flex. Wear a helmet, and bring a few cans of Fix-a-Flat though....
