9/28/11 - Bink Designs and High Rev Photo Polaris San Felipe Shakedown
El Cajon, CA
This is the ultimate test: Desert, sand washes, silt, and whoops at a scorching 115 degrees. It was the San Felipe SCORE Challenge of Champions. Joey, owner of UTVunderground.com was aware of Bink Designs and High Rev Photography’s need to be able to access remote locations through challenging terrain. Joey thought the 6-seat Polaris Ranger would be a good choice to loan them to test over the race weekend.
He was right. During race day, we soon realized the Polaris Ranger is definitely a workhorse machine. The Ranger seats 6 people and with only 3 of us in it we all had plenty of room to breathe. The suspension on the Ranger isn't on the same level as the RZR's so we weren't expecting to be able to blast through the desert in it, but the ride was surprisingly nice over smaller whoops. The extra weight of the Ranger helped keep the UTV low to the ground, which helped reduce any body roll. Navigating through the rough, we found ourselves puckering up a few times due to the longer wheelbase, but overall, it was a smooth ride.
One thing that the Polaris doesn’t lack in is storage. Underneath the front seat, it was able to store all of our camera bags, tools, tow strap, and other items we wanted to keep out of the dust or this compartment can be used as a large cooler. The utility bed had plenty of room for a large cooler and a 5-gallon gas jug, with more room to spare.
The 4x4 was great to have and saved us a few times in soft areas near the course. The option to have it in 4wd, 2wd locked, or 2wd one tire fire was also nice driving around town as it was easier to maneuver on pavement. We were also able to drive up the Sand Dunes in San Felipe with one wheel drive!
“We always have safety in mind and this Polaris Ranger was able to get us through the desert safely. Because of that, we were able to get some spectacular photos over the weekend!” stated Brian Binkert owner of Bink Designs.
If you are looking for a UTV to have fun flying around in the dunes or the desert, the Ranger might not be the choice for you. What this UTV does well is get you, your friends, and a ton of gear from point A to B in a comfortable fashion. It’s perfect for the pits, on the farm, or anywhere you need a reliable workhorse.
“The Polaris Ranger exceeded our expectations and proved to be reliable throughout our trip to Baja.” stated Jason Zindroski owner of High Rev Photography.
Thanks Joey for letting us borrow the beast in San Felipe! Look forward to more adventures soon!

6/20/11 - Bink Designs F150 Graces Dirt Sports Magazine
El Cajon, CA
From the June, 2011 issue of Dirt Sports Magazine
It happens every time, almost like clockwork. Here’s what occurs in the life of a Dirt Sports project build. It begins like all love affairs – all flowers, hope and promise. Then comes the grind of matching our newfound marriage with the picket fence-like dreams of trying to build the ultimate anything. Toward the end, a million details and countless hours later, you swear it’s time for divorce – you’ll never take on anything like it again. But when that beast is finally complete and fired up, we discover we really don’t want to walk away, but maybe just have a new affair with the next sexy vision that comes along.
So, after five such marriages, our track record resembles that of the late Elizabeth Taylor. The family photo album is filled with images of the past loves; VW Elf, our token red head (the Retro Bronco), our trick Yamaha Rhino, the smoken’ Plug N’ Play Alumi Craft and the over-the-top Kawasaki Teryx TT.
Now it’s time for something new. It’s almost impossible to fathom, but our stable of “wives” has yet to include a truck!
With the conclusion of the Teryx TT build (see final results in next month’s July issue!), our eyes didn’t have to wander far when we looked toward our next conquest. At a recent LOORRS short-course race, we spotted the ultra-clean, ultra-truck Ford F-150 of Dirt Sports contributing photographer Brian Binkert and stopped dead in our tracks. His truck was a mid-2000s F-150, but was modified with ultra slick bodywork by FiberwerX that included a late model front grill and headlights in a front-tilting one-piece front end. The wide-track rear end was equally appealing.
Beauty was more than skin deep, however. Up front Bink’s F-150 was graced with a very trick long-travel suspension created by those forward-thinking guys at Brenthel Industries. Armed with a set of specially valved Fox Shox, there is no doubt the set-up can make prerunning, play or chasing a race more enjoyable.
The good news is that we have a suitable base vehicle to start with. Our company CEO Jim Ryan has a tired 2006 F150 that needs some serious TLC. Over the course of the coming months, we will transform this tired girl with a new FiberwerX Raptor kit (with one piece front end and OEM grill work), a Brenthel long-travel front end and new rear bed-mounted shock assembly and Fox Shox for starters. Then we will add a custom widened rear end by Currie Enterprise, 37-inch General Tire Grabbers and a unique set of Method’s latest wheels. Of course, you can count on a custom blue, orange and silver Dirt Sports paint job. Beyond that…you can bet we will come up with some insane touches.
The DS-150. We will take our tired grandma and convert her into our next big fling. Stay tuned.

FiberwerX is ankle deep into 2009 and we are experiencing a good influx of positive growth. We want to share our success and celebrate by inviting the offroad community to an Open House Party taking place on May 2nd at our new location on 8400 N. Magnolia Ave. Suite H. - Santee, CA 92071 At the same time FiberwerX wants to do our part to stimulate good business throughout the offroad industry. Coordinating with many brands & companies, the FiberwerX Open House has quickly evolved into a small expo. A number of vendors will be on hand to participate and kick down sales & discounts on all sorts of merchandise & products. We have received a tremendous amount of feedback and response, and more companies are signing up daily.
FiberwerX has reached out to ORBA and we have organized a raffle to benefit this local organization that has done so much for the Offroad Industry over the years. The reaction and participation from industry companies across the board has been completely unbelievable, and we are expecting more prizes to be added to the ORBA Benefit Raffle as more companies become aware. So far we have allocated over $6000 in goods and accessories.
In addition for the Open House, the FiberwerX Staff has arranged for a number of features and attractions that will keep the whole family and their friends entertained for hours. Live music including several popular headlining band will keep the atmosphere up beat throughout the day. Free Street Tacos and other food vendors will be on hand. A fun jump will be setup to keep the little ones entertained. An offroad vehicle show featuring avariety of race cars, trucks, prerunners and rhinos will be on display. And as always our favorite FiberwerX Girls will be doing their thing. The Dirt Alliance will be setting up a mini Dirt Tour that will give a good preview on how their events go down. Essentially, plenty of action and attractions for all is what we have scheduled.
We recently corresponded with DRIVE Racing to host a live drawing party for the upcoming May 16th Night Race taking place out in Plaster City. Doug Wasser, DRIVE’s President was elated to get involved. We all believe the open house event will help promote the new series and is just what is needed to get the racers aware of the program. 1450 ORG is already well aware of the DRIVE Series and has the Night Race scheduled for Round 3 of the 1450 ORG Series. We expect nearly 20 entries in the 1450 class alone. If you want to participate in any class in the DRIVE series which is well organized and has no bad habits, than make sure to get your entry form in to get your name in the Live Drawing taking place during the Open House.
If you think you might want to get involved, please let us know right away so that we can add you into the plan and schedule before all the spaces are reserved. Available opportunities are filling up fast, so act now.

10/25/08 - Bink Designs Prerunner Testing
The time has finally come to go out and test the Bink Designs Prerunner Ranger. It has been a few long years in the process to finish this build. With the help of FiberwerX / FX-Fabrication and many other sponsors involved I was able to finish up my dream prerunner.
Bink Designs and the FiberwerX crew headed out Saturday morning to Plaster City to test the Bink Designs Prerunner & the newly built Ford F-150 Class 8 of San Vicente Racing. It was a beautiful morning and the temperature was a pleasant 90 degrees. We started out with getting some profile shots of San Vicente Race Team and the bd prerunner while the trucks were still clean. We proceeded to start on Evan Hughes Rd around the Plaster City West race course to see how the truck would handle at speed.
Everything seemed to be working flawless right out of the box then boom the truck completely looses power! We took the hood off to see what the problem was and we found that we lost the hose and breather filter as well as the radiator over flowing severely. We got a tow back to camp by San Vicente’s F150 Super Crew Prerunner to further investigate the problem. We find that there’s a loose relay in the fuse box. Problem fixed! With that being said we loaded up the prerunner and headed off to the Imperial Sand Dunes to meet up with some family friends to give some rides out!
Overall we are extremely pleased with how the weekend went. We were able to indentify several problematic issues that could be a problem and have determined the best course of action to create a dependable vehicle. The Ranger Prerunner platform crafted by FX-Fabrication is perfect for the bd objectives to scout out likely photo opportunities and transportation to remote trackside locations. I feel like my new Prerunner is a safe reliable truck that is capable of running a good amount of hard offroad miles. Bink Designs is anticipating many future trips full of great times and good people.
10/13/08 - bd Prerunner @ Off-Road Expo
Last weekend Bink Designs took a drive up to Pomona Fairplex, CA for the Off-Road Expo. This is the largest Off-Road show of its kind and attracts a large number of vendors and visitors each year. Bink Designs & FiberwerX teamed up to have a huge booth outside which consisted of Bink Designs Prerunner, FiberwerX TT#50, FiberwerX Trophy Kart, San Vicente’s Class 8, BullyDog 2004 F150 and FiberwerX’s previous championship winning Class 7. The booth was jammed packed with people all day checking out the ever so hot FiberwerX Girls that were throwing out posters, stickers, FiberwerX/Bink Designs Brochures and having people fill out free raffle tickets to win a ride in the TT#50 or win a pair of fiberglass bedsides & fiberglass fenders.
Bink Designs hooked up with the editors of Off-Road Magazine to find out they wanted to do a feature of the new prerunner in an upcoming issue of their magazine. Which will be out sometime in March/April of 2009. So look forward to grabbing one off the mag stands when released.
Thanks to Toyo Tires, Fox Shox, Light Force, FiberwerX, FX-Fabrication, JBA Headers, DJ Safety AEM, SPY Optics, JuanCO Performance, Rockstar Energy Drinks. I could not have done it without your help! Okay I could have but it would have taken me a year or two more :)
Take a look at a few pictures from the show!

Jason will be starting 4th off the line with Mark Post (2008 SCORE Champion) right on his tail. Look for Bink Designs to post pictures from this event on Race-Dezert.com a few days after the race.
06/23/08 - FreestyleMX.com 7275 Photo Shoot
Bink Designs was called up by FreestyleMX.com’s Marc Burnett operator of the world's largest motocross website and new owner of Camburg’s BITD 7200 Truck to obtain hi-end shots of the new beast. Recently the truck has gone through a serious overhaul with the addition of a new FiberwerX Ranger TT Body, OEM Carbon Fiber Dash, Dirt-Tech Rear-End Housing & Trail Ready Wheels wrapped with the new aggressive “Grabber” General Tire.
A new vehicle wrap on the race truck sported FreestyleMX.com / Boost Mobile / Monster Energy Drinks colors, logos and graphics. Burnett’s new team and the fleet of support vehicles were all decked out in complementing graphics and themed vehicle wraps creating a seamless team identity.
Marc and the convoy of team vehicles arrived late Thursday night to Plaster City West. The area provides a variety of dessert terrain and is highly popular with many race teams that use Plaster City to test and fine-tune their racecars for any upcoming races. By 12:30 a.m. Friday morning it was already 100 degrees out! I knew we had a long day of shooting ahead of us. There was a full moon out so the team setup up quickly to hammer out some night shots of the car, before getting to bed at 3AM.
We awoke at sunrise to re-arrange the race truck, chase vehicles, and trailers to achieve the necessary shots for the team and sponsors. We shot most of the day with the heat scorching around 118+ degrees going through at least 10 cases of water between all of us! The day ended with us getting some action shots of the car and some ride time in before we started having a vapor lock issue that pretty much ended the day.
All and all it was a successful test session and photo shoot. We captured a ton of great shots that will be used in upcoming PR/Marketing materials for many of FreestyleMX.com partners.
