The concept of molding together metals may date back as far as the Bronze Age of 1500-3500 BC, but the tools used to do the job nowadays are anything but archaic. Just like other technologies in our world, welding and fabrication equipment–as well as techniques–have improved at an amazing rate in a relatively short amount of time, and the increase in quality and durability of modern off-road vehicles exemplifies just how quickly these tools have advanced.

The slogan "The Legend Lives On" was slathered across every poster, program and promotional piece associated with Best In The Desert's (BITD) Blue Water Resort & Casino's Parker 425, and it was there for a reason. First run in 1971 by NORRA, the Parker race has a rich history that almost came to an end when the race was dropped from SCORE International's 1998 season. Picked up by Whiplash Motorsports, the Parker 425 managed to continue on until Casey Folks and his BITD racing organization took over the race in 2003.

Furrier tells us, "The consumer can make a much better-informed buying decision if he or she knows what to expect. Buying the right gear is just an introduction to safety. What they need to do now is take the next step and get informed."

If you think the 2008 Kawasaki Teryx 750 4X4 is nothing but a pimped-out version of the company's mainstay Mule UTV, you'd better think again. The Teryx is tough, fun and fully capable of handling some serious off-road thrashing.
