Hello, My name is Eric DeBord and welcome to my page. I made this page for anyone who enjoys rail/dune buggies and off roading. I have been riding rail buggies for over 25 years and I have been to a lot of places, seen a lot of buggies, and climbed a lot of hills. I will be adding a LOT of information to this site, especially to the transmission page. I have a lot of tranny parts for sale also.

If you need any advice, or have any ideas, opinions, or whatever, e-mail me. A lot of people have complimented my site<< Thanks. The reason I made it was to help someone by sharing the knowledge I have learned over the years. By the way, I live in Eastern KY. I just moved this site from geocities so it will take some time to sort everything out.

My Tribute to Gene Berg
Gene Berg.. I wish I had met the man that surely has made one of the greatest contributions to the VW world than any other single person. I have read many of his writings and the knowledge he possesed was amazing. He was always active in the VW scene and he dedicated his life to it. I have been told that he was strong in what he believed yet was open for discussion if you had a legitimate point of veiw. Thats the way a mechanic needs to be. There are a lot of different ways to approach things and I can see a lot of the way he reasoned in my own thinking. When I would read his catalogs and tech books, I would sometimes question what he wrote until I learned the hard way (or saw someone else that did). Thanks for everything, Gene. - Eric



This is Mickey.. His famous last words (after breaking EVERY weekend) are: "It's getting better!" He has since went to the Porsche 930 axles and hasn't broken THAT yet. (But he still has trouble)!
Well, I am finally putting up some pictures on my transmission section. You can link to them from there, however I will put a page here ASAP. Everyone wants more pictures, and I will put them up as soon as I find time. If you have any you would like here, e-mail them to me and I will put them up. Pictures of broken things, roll-overs, hills, stuck etc...
